Keep leaves, seed pods and shingle grit out of your gutters for good. Free estimates across Louisville and Jefferson County.
What you get
No more ladder cleanings
Guards cut out the twice-a-year job of scooping wet leaves out by hand.
Protect fascia and foundation
Overflowing gutters rot fascia boards and dump water against your foundation - a real problem in Louisville's clay soil.
Fewer ice dams and pests
Clear gutters drain in winter and don't hold the standing water mosquitoes breed in.
Matched to your trees
Fine micro-mesh for pine needles and seed pods; sturdier screens for big-leaf yards.
Louisville is one of the leafiest cities in the region. Oaks, maples, sweetgums and sycamores drop leaves, seed pods and twigs straight into gutters every fall, and spring storms wash in shingle grit on top of that. Gutter guards keep that debris out so rainwater keeps moving.
We install guards on existing gutters or as part of a new seamless gutter system, and we size the guard to your trees and roof pitch instead of selling one product for every home.
Which gutter guard is right for my home?
Micro-mesh guards block the smallest debris, including pine needles and maple seeds, and are the best fit for most wooded Louisville lots. Screen and perforated guards cost less and work well where trees are farther from the house. Reverse-curve (surface tension) guards suit some roof lines but can overflow in hard summer downpours. We'll look at your roof, gutters and trees and recommend one option, not a menu.
Can you put guards on my existing gutters?
Usually, yes - as long as the gutters are sound, properly pitched and securely fastened. If they're sagging, rusted or leaking at the seams, it's often smarter to replace them with seamless gutters and add guards at the same time, so you only pay for one visit.
How much do gutter guards cost?
Price depends on the length of your gutters, the guard type and how many stories your home is. Nationally, homeowners in a 2026 This Old House survey paid a median of about $5,000 for professional gutter guard installation. We give a written estimate after measuring your home, with no obligation.

Frequently asked questions
Do gutter guards really work with Louisville's trees?
Yes, when the guard matches the debris. Micro-mesh handles fine debris like seed pods and needles; larger leaves sit on top and blow or wash off.
Will I ever need to clean my gutters again?
Far less often. Guards may need an occasional rinse or brush-off of debris sitting on top, but no more scooping out packed gutters.
When is the best time to install gutter guards?
Late summer and early fall, before leaves start dropping - but we install year-round.
