What guards do well
- Cut down on leaf and needle debris sitting in the trough
- Reduce how often you climb a ladder for cleaning
- Help on homes under heavy tree cover — Hollis, Bedford, lake towns
What guards cannot fix
- Undersized gutters on a steep roof
- Negative pitch or sagging runs
- Ice dams at the roof edge — that is a roof and ventilation problem
- Rotten fascia the gutters are screwed into
Our approach
We size seamless gutters first, fix fascia and drip edge, then discuss guard options if the tree load warrants it.
Micro-mesh and solid covers behave differently in freeze–thaw — we name pros and cons in the proposal instead of a one-size upsell.
