Gutter guards that keep the leaves out
A guard covers the open top of the gutter so leaves, oak tassels and shingle grit stay out while the water still gets in. Fewer cleanings, fewer clogged downspouts, fewer overflows.
Tulsa yards are full of oaks, pecans, sweetgums and cottonwoods, and every one of them fills a gutter twice a year. Oak tassels in April and May, leaves from October into December, and a steady drip of shingle grit all year.
Guards come in a few types. Perforated aluminum and micro-mesh screens sit flat over the gutter and fasten to the front lip. Reverse-curve covers carry water around a bend and drop the debris off the edge. Foam and brush inserts sit inside the gutter and clog from the inside within a few seasons.
A guard is only as good as the gutter under it. The run has to be pitched right and hung tight before a cover goes on, or the guard just hides the problem. Guards also do not make a gutter zero-maintenance. They turn two cleanings a year into a quick check every year or two.
Guards can go on new seamless gutters the day they are hung or onto gutters already on the house. Leave your address and Jose calls the same day with the price for the gutters, the guards, or both.
Guards earn their keep when there are trees within about 30 feet of the house, when the gutters sit two stories up where a ladder is a real risk, or when a downspout clogs every fall. A house in a new neighborhood with no mature trees yet can usually wait. Tell Jose what trees hang over the house and he will say whether guards make sense for your lot.

From Jose's jobs
Questions people ask
Will I never have to clean my gutters again?
No guard delivers that. A good one keeps the leaves and tassels out and turns two cleanings a year into a quick look every year or two. Anyone who promises zero maintenance is selling the guard, not the gutter.
Can guards go on my existing gutters?
Yes, as long as the gutters are in shape to take them. They get cleaned, re-pitched where needed and tightened to the fascia first. If a run is too far gone, Jose will say so when he calls.
Do guards work in a Tulsa downpour?
Perforated aluminum and mesh guards pass heavy rain fine on ordinary pitches. On a steep pitch or under a valley, water can sheet over a guard, which is one more thing Jose checks before he prices the job.
