Installing a gutter guard solution is essential for a reliable gutter system that can prevent leaves from clogging it up. The Brothers have conducted thorough research on the top-rated products and systems available in the gutter industry, and incorporating them into your gutter system is unquestionably a crucial aspect. Now, let’s delve into a concise explanation of what a gutter guard is and its advantages.
What Is A Gutter Guard?
A gutter guard is a protective cover or screen that is installed over a gutter system to prevent debris, such as leaves, twigs, and other unwanted materials, from clogging the gutters. It typically comes in different materials, such as mesh, foam, or solid covers, and can be attached to the gutter trough or placed on top of it. The main purpose of a gutter guard is to allow water to flow freely through the gutters while preventing debris from entering, which can cause clogs and potentially damage the gutter system.
Gutter guards are frequently considered the most effective and convenient solution for keeping gutters clean, and they are also known as leaf guards. The Brothers that just do Gutters have been installing these guards since 2005, and we are always looking for new products to evaluate and research. Our ultimate objective is to identify the best available options in the market and bring them to our customers.

Why Do I Need A Leaf Guard?
Preventing clogs is crucial to maintaining a well-functioning gutter system, and leaf protection is essential for achieving this. Installing a gutter guard significantly reduces the maintenance required for your gutter system. With the appropriate guard, most interior gutter cleanings can be eliminated.
Without a gutter guard, maintaining your gutters requires cleaning both the gutters and downspouts at least twice a year to ensure they can handle the highest capacity of rainfall and prevent overflow, rotted fascia, mildew, foundation deterioration, landscape erosion, and other damage to your property. However, the timing of cleaning has to be right for the season and more frequent in certain areas.
Alternatively, you can opt for installing gutter guards to avoid cleaning gutters at least twice a year. Although clients are often concerned about the initial cost, the minimum maintenance costs over just two to three years can be much higher without a gutter guard, unless you clean them yourself. The value of eliminating interior cleanings that come with having covered gutters often outweighs any additional up-front costs for our clients and the long-term protection of their homes.
Moreover, gutter guards can provide added strength during the winter by preventing snow, ice, branches, and late-falling leaves from loosening or tearing down your gutter system. This added strength can reduce the risk of needing an entirely new gutter system after a harsh winter.
What Is The Best Gutter Guard?
The process of defining the best gutter guard involved thorough research and testing which is how we finally concluded which guard is best. Initially, when gutter guards entered the market, we were skeptical about their performance, and we couldn’t imagine how they would work within a gutter system. Nonetheless, we decided to install them and test their effectiveness.
It wasn’t until we came across screen mesh gutter guards that we saw a potential solution. After conducting extensive research, we were convinced that the mesh guard would be the best leaf guard for our customers.
As we began installing the mesh guard, we discovered that many homeowners found the guard to be effective in protecting against elements that can damage gutters and required less maintenance. However, not all mesh gutter guards are created equal. As a result, The Brothers that just do Gutters only offer and provide gutter guard solutions that we believe perform the best and provide the best solution for each client.
Why A Mesh Gutter Guard?
We understand how important it is for our clients to have gutters that are free of clogs, and after extensive research, we have found that gutter mesh designs and products offer the best coverage, water flow, and performance. Our goal is to always provide our clients with the highest-rated gutter guards and protection systems. That’s why we continuously research and test new-to-market products at Brothers Gutters.
