Leaf protection is a vital aspect of maintaining a functional gutter system, and incorporating a gutter guard solution is essential for achieving this. After extensive research, The Brothers have identified gutter guards as the most optimal approach among the various products and systems available in the industry.
What Are Gutter Guards and Why Are They Important?
Gutter guards, also known as gutter protectors or leaf guards, are innovative devices designed to prevent debris, such as leaves, twigs, and dirt, from clogging your gutters. These guards are specifically engineered to fit over or inside your existing gutter system, creating a barrier that keeps unwanted materials out while allowing water to flow freely. By effectively blocking debris, gutter guards reduce the need for frequent gutter cleaning and maintenance. This not only saves you time and effort but also safeguards your gutters against potential damage caused by clogs and overflowing water. Additionally, gutter guards help minimize the risk of pests, such as insects and rodents, from nesting in your gutters. With their seamless integration into your gutter system, these guards provide a reliable and long-lasting solution to keep your gutters clear and functioning optimally throughout the year.

Why Do I Need Gutter Guards?
Leaf protection is crucial for the proper functioning of your gutter system as it prevents clogs. Installing gutter guards significantly reduces the maintenance required for your gutters. Moreover, with the right guard in place, the need for interior gutter cleanings can be largely eliminated.
Without gutter guards, maintaining your gutters necessitates cleaning both the gutters and downspouts at least twice a year. This ensures that your entire system can handle heavy rainfall without overflowing, causing damage such as rotted fascia, mildew, foundation deterioration, landscape erosion, and other property-related issues. However, the cleaning process must be timed correctly according to the seasons and performed more frequently in certain areas.
Want to reduce frequent gutter cleaning? Install gutter guards. While clients may initially be concerned about the cost, the minimal maintenance expenses can often exceed the upfront investment within just two to three years, especially when professional cleaners are hired. The elimination of interior cleanings, which comes with having covered gutters, often justifies any additional upfront costs for our clients and ensures long-term protection for their homes.
In addition to keeping the gutters free from leaves, gutter guards also provide added strength during winter. The weight of snow, ice, branches, and late falling leaves can loosen or damage the gutter system. By offering this extra strength, guards can reduce the risk of needing an entirely new gutter system after a harsh winter.
What Is The Best Gutter Guard?
The process of determining the optimal gutter guard begins with our exploration of the various options available in the market. Initially skeptical about their effectiveness, we decided to install and test them ourselves. It was only when we came across screen mesh guards that we started to see a potentially viable solution. After conducting thorough research, we became convinced that mesh guards would be the most effective leaf guard for our customers.
During the installation of the mesh guard, we discovered that many homeowners, including yourself, found that the guard offered protection against various elements that can cause damage to gutters while requiring minimal maintenance. However, it’s important to note that not all mesh gutter guards are equal in performance. For this reason, at The Brothers that just do Gutters, we exclusively offer and provide gutter cover solutions that we believe not only deliver the best performance but also offer the most suitable solution for each individual client.
