The only one-piece gutter system that also keeps out debris, LeafGuard’s patented design makes it the most-trusted gutter protection in America since it was created over 25 years ago. Exactly why is LeafGuard so much better?
Why LeafGuard is a Superior Gutter System
It isn’t just that the debris will be kept out of the gutter's trough. Thanks to LeafGuard’s unique curved hood, it won’t pile upon top, either.
Clog-Free Design
Seamless Protection
Unlike other options, you never have to worry about sagging or leaking with LeafGuard due to its unique one-piece design — and the fact that LeafGuard gutters are custom-built to each
customer’s home.
Since debris just slides off LeafGuard gutters, there’s no need for you to pull out that heavy, wobbly ladder and climb up to clear them off.
No Dangerous
Cleaning
Made from durable aluminum that’s 20% thicker than industry standard and coated with a scratch-guard finish, you can rest easy knowing your LeafGuard gutters can stand up to all kinds of adverse weather — and that they’ll look good doing it. LeafGuard’s seamless one-piece design is the strongest gutter system available. It can handle 32 inches of rain per hour, more than three times the largest rainfall ever recorded by the U.S. Weather Bureau.
Durable and Weatherproof
Owning a home is likely the biggest investment you’re ever going to make. And it's a lot of work to keep it looking great. Not with LeafGuard, though. It really does work so well that you can just “Get It and Forget It!” That means one less thing you need to worry about.
Why Wouldn’t You “Get It and Forget It”?
Put a mesh screen over the top of open-face gutters, and you essentially have a gutter screen or mesh-top gutter.
PRO
CON
However, smaller items can still get through. Plus, the flat design of the mesh means debris can pile up on top, requiring you to clean it off regularly. Worse, since the screens are separate from the main gutter, they’re prone to blowing away.
Like open-face gutters, they channel water away. Additionally, they do an OK job of keeping some debris out.
Gutter Screens and Mesh Toppers
Most people know gutters are important to protecting their home. But what they don’t realize is that not all gutters are created equal.
Here’s what you need to know.
Yes, the Type of Gutters You Have Really Matter
There are several types of gutter systems to consider before deciding which to buy.
Different Types of Gutters
Open-Face Gutters
Probably what most people imagine when they think of gutters. This traditional trough-style gutter has a one-piece design.
While nothing fancy, it usually does the job of channeling water away from
your house.
PRO
It doesn’t even try to offer protection against leaves and other debris getting in. Over time, this will cause clogged gutters that can’t channel anything — something that can lead to
water damage.

Hoods, Covers, and Helmets
This is a regular open-face gutter, but
with a lid top.
They’re solid, which makes them quite good at keeping out debris. And yes, like the others on this list, they channel water away.
PRO
They only come in specific lengths, generally leading to leaky and saggy areas. Also, attaching them may invalidate your roof warranty.
