Most commonly, gutter guards are installed under the first row of shingles and screwed into the lip of the gutter using sheet metal screws. Some installations will require screws at the back of the gutter as well as into the lip using sheet metal screws.
All installations take into careful consideration the existing roof and gutter system details to determine the proper materials and installation techniques to use.

Poor quality gutter guards allow debris to pass through and need ongoing maintenance. This is the case for many plastic and metal mesh gutter guards that can be purchased at a home improvement store. Usually these types of guards have fairly large holes that allow debris through or larger debris gets stuck in the holes, blocking the proper flow of water. These types of guards give false piece of mind that the gutters are protected.
Gutters that are protected with a high quality micro-mesh style gutter guard do not require regular cleanings. The products are designed and installed to be self-shedding, allowing any debris sitting on top of the guard to naturally move off in rain and wind. Should a build up occur, we can offer a nominally priced service to clear the roof and top of the gutter guards.
Valor and Leaf Defender are both high quality micro-mesh style gutter guards made in California.
Valor’s design of stainless steel micro-mesh that sits in a rigid, louver frame offers superior durability. The S-curve design captures high flow water while directing debris off the guard. Valor offers multiple color and frame material options. There are options to customize the installation, like corner seam covers, Melt-Away and Moss-Away, different mesh sizes, and inside and outside miters for a more finished look and better performance.
Leaf Defender is made of raised-ridge stainless steel micro-mesh with a lightweight aluminum frame.
High-quality micro-mesh gutter guards will keep your gutters free of debris without the need for regular cleanings. Other plastic and metal gutter covers allow some debris to pass through or trap large debris in their large holes, offering false piece of mind and an expenditure that doesn’t give you a return on the investment if you’re still cleaning the gutters. Plastic gutter guards warp and crack after sun exposure. Remember, PVC is a plastic, so don’t be fooled by claims that PVC gutter guards will hold up over time. Solid gutter cover styles don’t properly direct the flow of water off the roof and can void the warranty if they are removed for cleaning when debris inevitably gets into the gutter cavity due to their poor design. Brush-style gutter inserts are ineffective and increase your maintenance costs as they still require regular gutter cleanings that are highly labor intensive.
High quality, metal framed, micro-mesh gutter guards are durable and fire retardant. They will not warp, crack, or melt. Valor and Leaf Defender gutter guards are WUI compliant for installation on new builds where gutter covers are required, as well as the best choice for areas that are prone to wildfire danger.
