Rain gutters provide a path for runoff to be diverted away from the structure. When other substances obstruct that path, such as leaves, pollen, and dirt, water can overflow and cause moisture damage to everything from roofs to foundations. A simple and effective solution is to install a rain gutter leaf guard. The models expertly installed by The Brothers That Just Do Gutters will reduce maintenance needs and prevent costly damage from happening. Call us for gutter guards today for the best defense and enhanced peace of mind.
Why Do I Need a Gutter Leaf Guard?
Installing a gutter leaf guard will significantly improve the performance of gutters. Leaves, twigs, pollen, and other debris accumulate in open troughs and downspouts. Given enough time and accumulation, plants can even start growing inside the diversion assembly. The buildup can get so bad that runoff begins spilling out onto the home, posing a significant threat to its stability. There are several ways that moisture can damage a house, including:
Gutter guards are especially recommended in areas with heavy tree coverage or high pollen levels.
Reduced Maintenance Needs
A rain gutter leaf guard can reduce the maintenance demands of gutters. Regular cleaning is dirty and strenuous. With the right defense system, homeowners rarely need to perform dangerous ladder work and put themselves at risk. The mesh coverings we install do an excellent job of keeping obstructions out while permitting the free flow of rainwater.
By keeping the catchment system clear, gutter guards also help prevent costly repairs associated with water damage and structural issues. When overflows seep into the roof, fascia boards, and siding, leading to rot, mold growth, and deterioration. Over time, this excess moisture can cause significant damage to the home’s foundation and landscaping. Preventing clogs in the first place helps homeowners avoid expensive repairs and prolongs the life of the entire gutter system, saving money in the long run.
Improve the efficiency and durability of the system itself. When debris accumulates, it can add weight and stress, increasing the risk of sagging, warping, or detachment from the home. This often leads to costly replacements that could have been avoided with a simple preventative measure. Investing in a high-quality gutter guard ensures the system remains functional year-round, reducing maintenance demands and protecting the home from avoidable damage and repair expenses.
Investing in gutter guards is a proactive step in home maintenance that saves time and money in the long run. With an adequately protected catchment and diversion assembly, homeowners can ensure that rainwater is efficiently diverted from the home, preventing costly damage and maintaining the property’s structural integrity.

What Are the Best Gutter Guards?
Years of experience and real-world cases have shown us that the best gutter guards use screen mesh to eliminate debris. We prefer the One Gutter Guard™ model because it incorporates the features that provide the best protection for most gutters and environments. The micro-mesh blocks tiny debris like leaves, pine needles, and shingle grit, allowing water to flow freely. Other benefits include:
- Interchangeable screen inserts
- Aluminum uni-body chassis
- Pre-drilled holes for faster installation
- Chassis that is sloped at a 7-degree angle
This product’s interchangeable features allow it to adapt to various clients and environments. If pollen is an issue, a finer mesh may be used in spring and summer, while a larger hole size may be preferred in the wet season to keep heavy runoff moving. The pre-drilled holes make it easy for homeowners or our technicians to make the swap. The 7-degree pitch also provides a consistent angle for runoff capture while being easier to install.
Selecting the best gutter guards balances durability, effectiveness, and maintenance needs. Investing in high-quality materials that are correctly installed will maximize the lifespan of your gutter system and the guards themselves. Consulting with a professional can help determine the most suitable option based on your home’s conditions, ensuring optimal protection against clogs and water damage. We believe in our solutions and products and think you will, too.
How Do Mesh Gutter Guards Handle Heavy Rain and Needle Drop?
Some homeowners worry that a screen will struggle once the fir and cedar needles start dropping. A correctly sized mesh sheds needles and moss debris while letting a heavy South Sound downpour through, and the guard is pitched so nothing sits and holds water. Fir and cedar needles collect on the upper part of the roof and wash down with every rain. That debris settles at the eaves and packs into the trough, forming a plug that prevents proper drainage. As more needles and moss wash down, the blockage grows, potentially forcing water under shingles and into the home.
The model we prefer has an aluminum chassis that is four times stronger than any other on the market, holding up against the weight of soaked needles and standing water. The mesh design can freeze over to create a bridge, but it will quickly melt and permit the unobstructed flow of runoff. The bridge formed lets needles and grit wash over the front edge rather than pack into the roofline. Fine grit may collect on the surface, but it rinses clear in the next heavy rain or our technicians can clear it on a maintenance visit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Coarse screens do not. Fir and cedar needles slip straight through them, which is why so many homeowners end up back on the ladder after paying for guards. Fine mesh is what actually keeps a Northwest gutter clear.
It depends on your canopy, roofline and debris load. We install several systems, including the brand’s own BroGuard fine metal mesh, and we recommend to your trees, not to a sales target.
Quality fine mesh dramatically cuts the cleaning burden, and maintenance gets easier and safer. We give you an honest picture of what your trees will still send at the roof each year.
Usually yes, as long as the gutters themselves are sound. We inspect first and tell you the truth. If the system is failing, guards on top of it are money wasted, and we will say so.
