Leaf Guard Installation

What This Service Involves

Deciduous trees like big-leaf maple and alder blanket Northwest gutters every autumn, and a solid leaf guard keeps that load out of the trough entirely. By covering the gutter opening, these systems stop leaves from settling and rotting into the sludge that causes overflow. Less debris in the trough also means less standing water where moss and mosquitoes take hold. We select a guard style suited to your mix of trees and confirm it sheds our intense rainfall rather than shedding the water with it.

Benefits

Keeps maple, alder, and other leaves out of the trough; reduces the rotting sludge that causes overflow; cuts down on standing water that breeds moss and pests; lowers the frequency of seasonal clean-outs; chosen to shed heavy rain, not just block leaves

Our Process

1) Inspect gutters and identify the surrounding tree species; 2) Recommend a leaf guard style matched to the debris; 3) Clean gutters and install guards along each run; 4) Test that rain flows through while leaves stay out

What Affects the Cost

Guard style and material selected; linear footage to be covered; existing gutter size and condition; number of stories and roof access; amount and type of surrounding tree cover

Best Time of Year

Install ahead of autumn leaf-fall so the guards are protecting the gutters when it counts.
