Gutter Guard Installation Services in Louisville, KY, and the Surrounding Areas
Clogged or cluttered gutters can lead to a number of issues, using gutter guards or regular cleanings to keep them clear is important because it can:
- Prevent Water Damage: When leaves and other debris clog up your gutters, they can prevent water from flowing freely through the system. This can cause water to overflow, which can lead to water damage to your roof, siding, foundation, and even your home’s interior.
- Prevent Pest Infestation: Clogged gutters can provide a perfect breeding ground for pests such as mosquitoes, rodents, and birds. Leaves and other debris can hold moisture and organic material, which can attract unwanted visitors to your home.
- Prevent Roof Damage: When gutters are clogged with leaves and debris, the weight of the buildup can cause damage to your roof. This can lead to expensive repairs and even a shortened lifespan for your roof.
- Maintain Structural Integrity: When water is not properly directed away from your home, it can cause damage to your home’s foundation, which can lead to costly repairs and safety concerns.

What Is A Gutter Guard?
Gutter guards are a cover that is installed on or over the top of gutters to help prevent leaves, debris, and other unwanted materials from entering and clogging the gutter system. Gutter guards come in various forms and designs, including mesh screens, foam inserts, brushes, and solid covers. They are designed to allow water to flow freely through the gutters while keeping out larger debris such as leaves, pests, and even small animals.
Gutter guards are the best and most practical solution for maintaining clean gutters. They are also referred to as leaf guards. The Brothers that just do Gutters have been fitting them since 2005, and we constantly evaluate and explore newly released products in our quest to attain our ultimate objective of identifying the best options available when it comes to keeping your gutters clean and extending their life.

Why Do I Need A Leaf Gutter Guard?
Preventing clogs is crucial for a functioning gutter system, which is why leaf protection is important. Installing gutter guards can significantly decrease the maintenance needed for your gutters, and the right type of guard can even eliminate most interior gutter cleanings.
If you choose to maintain your gutters without a guard, you will need to clean both the gutters and downspouts at least twice a year to ensure they can handle heavy rainfall and avoid property damage. This cleaning schedule must be timed right and done more frequently in certain areas.
However, installing gutter guards is an alternative option that eliminates the need for cleaning your gutters at least twice a year. While clients may be concerned about the initial cost, the long-term value of eliminating interior cleanings and protecting their homes is often worth it. Without a guard, the minimum maintenance costs can often be much higher within two to three years.
In addition to preventing leaves from entering the gutters, gutter guards can provide added strength during winter months. Snow, ice, branches, and late-falling leaves can damage or even tear down your gutter system. Gutter guards can reduce this risk and prevent the need for an entirely new gutter system after a harsh winter.
What Is The Best Gutter Guard?
To determine the best gutter guard, we had to first test to understand whether they actually worked. Initially, we were skeptical and didn’t understand how they would function within a gutter system. However, we decided to install them and discovered that screen mesh gutter protection and other forms of leaf protection had potential.
After conducting extensive research, we concluded that mesh guards were the best option for our customers. Upon installation, we found that mesh guards provided protection against debris and required less maintenance. However, not all mesh gutter guards are created equal, and as a result, we at The Brothers that just do Gutters offer and provide only the best gutter cover solutions for each client’s unique needs.
Why a Mesh Gutter Guard?
Mesh gutter guards are often considered one of the best types of gutter guards because they effectively prevent leaves, debris, and other small objects from entering the gutter while allowing water to flow freely. They are made of a fine mesh material that prevents debris from getting through while still allowing rainwater to pass through and drain properly.
