Leaf Guards

For decades, there wasn’t an effective way to keep debris out of gutters. Around 35 years ago, new gutter guard systems emerged—some well-engineered, others not so much. After testing dozens of options, we’ve identified five trusted brands that deliver lasting performance based on your home’s surroundings. Some designs filter debris across the surface, while others use water’s natural surface tension to guide rain into the gutter and push leaves safely to the ground.

• Prevents Clogging and Reduces Maintenance
  Leaf guards keep leaves, twigs, and debris from entering your gutters, which helps prevent clogs. This means water can flow freely through your downspouts, reducing the need for frequent cleaning and minimizing the risk of overflow or water damage to your roof, siding, or foundation.
• Protects Against Water Damage and Pest Issues
  By keeping your gutters clear, leaf guards help prevent standing water that can cause roof rot, mold growth, and ice dams in winter. They also make your gutters less inviting to pests like mosquitoes, birds, and rodents that may nest in debris-filled gutters.
