New England homeowners face unique challenges when it comes to gutters, especially during harsh winters, the fall's heavy leaf drop, spring downpours, and summer storms. Our gutter guards are made from surgical-grade stainless steel mesh, which offers exceptional protection against debris common in New England. This professional-grade material can withstand the region's freeze-thaw cycles without compromising its effectiveness, preventing debris from clogging gutters and leading to the formation of ice dams.

The pitched design of the gutter guards ensures optimal water flow while shedding debris. This system has been tested and proven to protect your gutters from clogs during even the heaviest rain and snow events, giving New England homeowners peace of mind throughout all four seasons.

Brush guards consist of bristle filaments that initially block large debris while allowing water flow. This type of guard struggles with heavy fall foliage from maple and oak trees as well as small debris such as pollen, seeds and insects.  Small particles accumulate between bristles over time, requiring regular cleaning or risk clogs. Additionally, during harsh New England winters, trapped moisture freezes within the brushes, potentially contributing to ice dams and gutter damage, especially during freeze-thaw cycles typical of Boston’s coastal climate.

Foam inserts are porous materials that fit inside gutters to block debris while allowing water passage. In Boston’s variable climate, they quickly become problematic as pine needles from local evergreens penetrate and lodge in the foam. During nor’easters and heavy downpours, these inserts often become saturated, reducing water flow. Boston’s coastal humidity accelerates deterioration, typically requiring replacement every 1-2 years. Additionally, maple seeds common in Jamaica Plain and Roslindale often germinate in the moist foam, creating maintenance headaches.

Screen gutter guards are mesh covers with relatively large openings that fit over gutters. While affordable for homeowners, they allow smaller debris like pollen, insects, pine needles and other leaf debris to pass through which ultimately creates buildup that needs to be cleaned periodically. Some versions use metal screens which rust overtime, then brake and allow larger debris to enter your gutters and clog.  Some versions use plastic screens which crack and brake over time due to intense UV exposure and freeze-thaw cycles. Lastly, if the screens are not installed at an angle or they begin to deteriorate and sag, they create gaps and pockets that debris will buildup in that will compromise protection.
