Gutter guards
Gutter guard options that help reduce debris buildup, support better water flow and reduce how often your gutters need to be cleaned – installed on a system that’s ready for them.

What guards do
Leaves, needles and seasonal debris are one of the most common reasons gutters overflow. Guards help keep that material out of the gutter in the first place.
Guards help limit the leaves and debris that build up in gutters and downspouts.
With less debris in the way, water has a clearer path to the downspouts.
Guards help reduce how often gutters need to be cleaned.
Best paired with properly sized gutters, correct pitch and well-placed downspouts.
Real project
In this Johnson Exteriors project, a debris-filled gutter was replaced with a new gutter and gutter guard along the roof edge. The guard sits over the gutter opening to help keep leaves out while letting water through.
Set expectations
Guards are a strong upgrade for the right home. They work best when the rest of the gutter system is working too.
Guards won’t fix a failing system. If your gutters are undersized, sagging or leaking, we’ll recommend addressing that first – or replacing them with guards included.
Minnesota debris
From spring seeds to fall leaves to winter freeze-thaw, St. Michael gutters see debris most of the year.
