Real Life Examples and Case Studies

Luke Burlander

My experience with K-Guard Gutters has been a real game-changer compared to Leaffilter. The mesh screens I previously had caused me headaches, needing frequent power washing and cleaning. But with K-Guard Gutters, my frustration vanished, and I'm blown away by their effectiveness. Honestly, I wish I could equip Airstreams with K-Guard Gutters – that's how much they've impressed me.

Marcie Strueh

I'm really excited to share my amazing experience with K-Guard Gutters – they totally outperformed my previous go-to, Leaffilter. So, let's talk about Leaffilter – yeah, it kept leaves out, but oh boy, the mesh screen caused major icicle issues during winter. I mean, seriously, that mesh just can't handle the cold. Despite solving other problems, those stubborn ice icicles remained. Now, here's where K-Guard Gutters came to the rescue. No joke, after they set up their system, the difference was night and day. Fast forward to the next winter, and guess what? No more icicle hassles! Their smart design truly delivered, and I'm beyond thankful. Big shoutout to K-Guard Gutters for giving me the peace of mind I've been craving.

Frenette Rodger

I'm thrilled to share my exceptional experience with K-Guard Gutters, a superior choice compared to Leaffilter. Despite being promised maintenance-free performance, my frustration grew after having to clean my Leaffilter gutters. Watching water overflow just three years after installation was disheartening. The ordeal led me to K-Guard, and their installation reassured me that I'd never face gutter maintenance again. Completed in 2020, my K-Guard Gutters proved their efficiency when I called in 2022, concerned they might be clogged. However, upon inspection, everything was perfect. It turns out the water overflow I was seeing was not due to the gutters, but rather from trees. K-Guard Gutters has truly transformed my gutter experience, providing reliability and peace of mind.

Friendly and honest. A few days after they came and installed the gutters (on the day they promised, no delays) it rained and I noticed the gutters in the back of the house didn't seem to be working correctly. I took a couple of videos and emailed them to Terry, their office admin. The owner, Jackson, called me right away, came to inspect them a day or so later, and had a team come and correct the issue a day after that. I read horrible reviews about K-Guard's competitors with trying to correct issues post installation. K-Guard had outstanding reviews and I am happy to add to them. They really do stand behind their product.

What Our Customers Say About Us

I added a roof over my deck and needed 22′ of gutter and a two-story downspout. This, being such a small job, was not of interest to most gutter installation companies I spoke with. Jackson and K-Guard took on the job and managed to complete exactly what I needed exactly when I needed it. The workmanship is excellent and the communication top-notch. Highly recommended.

– Jacque N.

five star rating

I am very pleased with the responsiveness, workmanship, and friendly demeaner of all the staff. My gutters leaked and clogged with leaves for decades and within two weeks of calling K-Guard, all those concerns are gone. The day after the gutters were installed there was a torrential downpour. Before the installation, water would have poured over my decrepit gutters like a waterfall. The K-Guard gutters performed perfectly, and I’m very much looking forward to no more “de-leafing” the gutters in the fall.

– Paul S.

five star rating

My wife and I decided we were too old to be climbing on the roof to clean our gutters, so we contacted K-Guard for an estimate. The sales person was very professional and gave us an excellent presentation and a to-the-penny estimate for replacing our old, decrepit gutters. They scheduled their installation ten days later and we couldn’t be happier. The crew was prompt and did a thorough job, including cleanup. I heartily recommend this vendor.
