What a guard actually has to do
A gutter guard has two jobs at once: keep leaves, seed pods and shingle grit out, and let a Florida downpour straight through. A guard that blocks debris but also blocks water is not a guard. Mesh size is the whole job.
Micro-mesh, foam or brush?
Guards come in several styles. Foam and brush inserts sit inside the gutter and tend to hold debris and moisture. Stainless micro-mesh sits over the gutter and is designed to shed debris while letting water through. Ask exactly what is going on your house, and what the mesh is made of.
Will it fit your roof?
Tile, metal and shingle roofs are all common here, and a guard has to be fitted to the one you have. Ask whether installation means lifting tile or touching the roof covering, and whether it affects your roof warranty. Ours are fitted to tile, metal and shingle roofs and mounted without lifting tile or voiding a roof warranty.
Clean the gutters first
Guards should go on clean gutters. Any good install starts with the existing gutters cleared and flushed, so you are not sealing last season's debris under the new mesh.
Check the size and the fit
- Guards need to match your gutter size. We fit 5-inch, 6-inch and 7-inch K-style gutters.
- They can be retrofitted to your current gutters or supplied with a new run.
- Hangers, pitch and outlets still matter. A guard does not fix a sagging gutter.
We install gutter guards for homeowners in Port St. Lucie, Stuart, Fort Pierce, Vero Beach and across the Treasure Coast. If your gutters are already full, gutter cleaning comes first, and twice-yearly scheduling is available.
