Guards
Guards over the gutters already up
Guards cover the top of the gutter and let rain through while keeping leaves, needles and twigs out of the trough. They go on the gutters you have now, so there is no need to replace sound gutters to get them.
The gutters are made ready first. They are cleaned out by hand, the downspouts are flushed, and leaking joints, loose hangers and low spots are repaired. Leaves left in the trough under a guard would stay there, packed in and out of reach, and a guard only works on a gutter that drains.
What guards change
Less debris settles in the gutter, so it stays open longer between cleanings and the outlets stay clear.
What they do not change
A guarded gutter carries the same amount of water as before. If it spilled over for lack of downspouts, it still needs another downspout.
Upkeep that remains
Fine grit can pass through and leaves can rest on top, so guarded gutters still get an occasional clearing as part of a cleaning.
Downspouts under a guard
A guard covers the trough, not the downspout, so flushing the downspouts stays part of the upkeep.
Is a guard right for your gutters?
Guards suit gutters that are sound but fill up with leaves soon after they are cleaned. They are not a fix for a gutter that sags, leaks or runs over because it is too small; those are repair, downspout or replacement jobs, and they come first. If the gutters are near the end of their life, new seamless gutters with guards on them may be the better spend, and both can be priced on the same quote.
Guards also do not change where the water lands. Water pouring out beside a door is fixed by moving or extending the downspout, which can be done on the same visit as the guards.
Where to start
Runs worth guarding first
Guards do not have to go on every gutter.
Under trees
Runs beneath branches catch the most leaves and needles.
Below a valley
Where two roof slopes meet, debris washes down into one stretch of gutter.
Over an entry
A clogged gutter over a door spills where people walk.
Your request
What to tell us about guards
Which runs
All the gutters, or only those under trees or over entries.
Height
One story or two, and any steep roof sections.
The gutters now
Whether they sag or spill over, so the repairs can be priced with the guards.
Access
A gate code or the name of someone who can open a locked gate.
Leaks
Leaking joints and corners in Esto
Water gets out where pieces of gutter meet, so that is where the repair is made.
Under a corner
A drip under an inside or outside corner means the corner joint has opened. It is resealed, or a new corner piece goes in.
At the end of a run
An end cap that has worked loose is fastened and sealed again.
Around the downspout
Water running down the outside of the downspout points to the outlet in the gutter bottom. The outlet is reset and sealed.
Seamless and sectional runs on one house
Some houses have seamless gutters on the main roof and older sectional runs on an addition or a lower roof. Each joint on a sectional run can open. When only one or two drip, they are resealed and the run takes guards like any other. When joint after joint is leaking, that run is replaced with seamless gutter, so every guarded run drains to its outlet.
New gutters and downspouts
New gutters are seamless, formed on site to each roof edge, 6 inches wide as standard, with half-round in aluminum or copper available and colors matched to the trim. On a replacement, the old gutters are taken down and hauled away. Downspouts can be moved, extended or added so water drains clear of the building. That work is above ground only; we do not install underground drains or French drains, or grade yards. A seamless run has joints only at its corners, end caps and outlets, so a guarded seamless gutter has few places left to drip.
Guarded gutters after a storm
After a storm, leaves and twigs can pile up on top of the guards, and they are cleared off. A gutter pulled loose under its guard is rehung and the guard set back in place. Sections knocked down are reattached or replaced, and the written repair quote can go to an insurer if you file a claim.
Rentals, businesses and builders
On a property you do not live at, guards cut down how often someone has to come and clear the gutters. Landlords and property managers can have several addresses looked at on one visit, and we can send photos once the guards are on.
Offices, shops, restaurants, warehouses and churches can have guards, cleaning and the rest of the gutter work, scheduled around business hours. Builders can have gutters booked around their schedule.
What a guard quote depends on
The price rests on the length of gutter being guarded, the height of the runs and any repairs needed before the guards go on. Second-story runs take longer to set up. The quote is written as one price for the whole job, with the cleaning and those repairs included in it.
