Solid / reverse-curve covers
Water sheets over the nose into the trough; debris falls off. Fine needles and ice can still bridge openings.
Works better on some roof pitches than others — we match product to eave geometry.
Micro-mesh
Fine screen keeps most needles out of the trough. Surface debris still sits on top and can block flow if ignored for years.
Good option under heavy tree cover when sized and installed correctly.
Decide after the gutter is right
Pitch, capacity, fascia, and drip edge first. Guards second.
We list options with honest maintenance expectations — not "never clean again" claims.
