Do Gutter Guards Actually Work?
One of the most common questions we hear from homeowners is:
"Do gutter guards actually work?"
The short answer is yes - when you choose the right guard for your home and have it professionally installed.
Gutter Guards are designed to keep leaves, pine needles, and debris out of your gutters while allowing rainwater to flow freely. They can significantly reduce the amount of gutter cleaning needed and help prevent clogs that lead to overflowing water, foundation issues, landscape erosion, and costly repairs.
Homes that have pine needles and leaf bearing trees nearby will benefit from the installation of our gutter guard systems.
At Legacy Gutter, we offer several gutter guard solutions - because every home faces different challenges.
We offer Aluminum and Copper MicroGuard and KleanGuard Gutter Guards, along with Custom Debris Shields (as required).
This service includes a thorough cleaning of existing gutters and expert installation of new gutter guard systems.
MicroGuard
MicroGuard is a durable micro-filtration gutter protection system that helps prevent leaves, twigs, and other debris from clogging your gutters while allowing water to flow freely. Its low-profile design is virtually invisible from the street, installs without damaging roof shingles, and is made from heavy-gauge aluminum for long-lasting strength. It fits most 5-inch and 6-inch gutter systems and is easy to maintain when cleaning is needed.
KleanGuard
KleanGuard protects gutters from even the smallest debris, including pine needles, with a surgical-grade stainless steel micromesh that maximizes water flow. Its durable design, self-cleaning technology, and copper-infused mesh help prevent clogs and inhibit the growth of moss, algae, and lichen.
Copper Mesh Gutter Guards
Copper Mesh Gutter Guards provide durable, low-maintenance protection against leaves, twigs, and other debris while preserving the beauty of your home. Made from heavy-duty 16 oz. copper, they reinforce the gutter system, allow water to flow freely, and feature a low-profile design that is virtually invisible from the street. The angled installation helps shed debris naturally, and the copper material resists bacteria, fungi, and organic buildup for long-lasting performance.
Custom Solutions for Your Home
Not every roofline, tree canopy, or gutter system is the same. Our team evaluates your property's specific needs and recommends the best gutter guard system to maximize performance and longevity.
What Gutter Guards Can and Can't Do
While gutter guards dramatically reduce maintenance, no gutter guard can make your gutters completely maintenance-free. Occasional inspections and cleanings help ensure your system continues performing at its best.
The good news? Most New England homeowners find that gutter guards save them time, reduce dangerous ladder work, and help protect their home year-round.
