How we do Gutter Guards Installation
✅ 1. Choose the Right Type of Gutter Guard
There are several types of gutter guards. Choose based on your roof type, budget, and local environment.
🧰 2. Tools and Materials Needed
Gutter guards (pre-measured)
Gloves and eye protection
Ladder (with stabilizer if possible)
Screwdriver or drill
Tin snips or utility knife (if cutting is needed)
Screws or clips (usually included)
Hose (for cleaning or testing water flow)
🧽 3. Clean the Gutters First
Remove leaves, twigs, and debris from the gutters by hand or using a gutter scoop.
Flush with a hose to clear any blockages.
Check for damage or sagging and make repairs before installing guards.
🔧 4. Install the Gutter Guards
For Screen or Micro-Mesh Guards:
Measure and cut the guards to fit your gutters.
Position the guard over the gutter, under the roof shingles or with clips depending on the model.
Secure the guard using screws or clips as recommended.
Overlap sections slightly so debris can’t sneak through the gaps.
For Foam Inserts:
Simply cut to size and insert inside the gutter.
Make sure it fits snugly and doesn’t block water flow.
For Brush Guards:
Cut to length and lay them directly inside the gutter.
Ensure they extend end-to-end with no large gaps.
✅ 5. Check and Test
Spray water on the roof with a hose to ensure water flows freely through the guards into the gutter and downspouts.
Make sure no water overflows from the edge.
