Gutter Screen Installation
Professional Gutter Screen Installation
Gutter screens, also called gutter guards or leaf guards, can reduce the amount of leaves, twigs, and other debris entering your gutters. They still need periodic inspection and cleaning: debris can collect on top, and water flow depends on the screen, roof, surrounding trees, and condition of the gutter system.
Leaf Blaster Pro Micro-Mesh Screens
Our preferred system is Leaf Blaster Pro with durable stainless-steel micro-mesh. The #14 mesh is an excellent option for most Washington properties and is especially well suited for leaves, fir needles, and common roof debris. A finer #30 mesh is also available when the property and surrounding vegetation call for it. Leaf Blaster Pro includes a 40-year manufacturer warranty.
Installed on New or Existing Gutters
We can add gutter screens to a new seamless gutter installation or retrofit them to an existing system that is in serviceable condition. Before installation, we inspect the gutters, downspouts, roof type, pitch, surrounding trees, and current drainage. We clean and prepare the system as needed so water has a clear path before screens are installed.
Are Gutter Screens Right for Every Home?
Not always. Homes without nearby trees may not need screens, while properties with unusually heavy debris may still require periodic surface maintenance. We recommend the screen and mesh based on the actual conditions around your home instead of selling the same product for every roof.
Reduced Maintenance—not Maintenance-Free
Quality gutter screens can reduce the amount of debris entering the gutter, but no screen makes a roof or gutter system completely maintenance-free. Leaves, moss, needles, and branches can collect on top and should be checked periodically. Keeping the screen surface clear allows rainwater to pass through efficiently during heavy Pacific Northwest storms.
Properly installed screens can reduce debris entering the gutters, but do not eliminate cleaning or inspections. Request a quote from MacGyver 4 Hire for a recommendation based on your home, roof, trees, and existing gutter system.
