However, smaller debris may still accumulate on top of the cover, potentially leading to clogs and reduced functionality over time.

Clog-Free Maintenance

K-Guard: With its self-cleaning mechanism and debris-blocking hood, K-Guard gutters require minimal maintenance. They significantly reduce the need for regular cleaning and provide hassle-free gutter protection.

Real Life Examples and Case Studies

Glenn K.

Very professional installation and followup to check for problems. They clean up and haul away old stuff. Leaves and debris were not my biggest problem it was birds nesting in the gutters. I have a house vent over the laundry that melts snow in the winter so I had to add heat cable in that area else some big ice drapes formed it that area. It was an easy retrofit. They cost a bit more than some but are larger and very sturdy. They should solve my bird problem permanently. Easy to recommend. Color selection was large to!

Located near Belmaire in Littleton, my substantial job involved a house purchased in 2021 adjacent to a golf course. Our gutter system faced a unique challenge – an Ohio buckeye tree with spiked seeds that are located in our yard. These seeds constantly dropped and damaged the Gutter Helmet, rendering it ineffective over time. The durability and thickness of K-Guard's product have proven unmatched, offering the much-needed resilience they were seeking. Thank you, K-Guard Gutters, for providing us with a sturdy solution.

I made the switch to K-Guard after dealing with Gutter Helmets that ended up causing more problems than solutions. The Gutter Helmet was installed over the roof rather than under the shingles, leading to clogs and water buildup. Within a few years, it became a constant issue. However, my transition to K-Guard Gutters has been a game-changer. After a hail storm, I switched to K-Guard and have been enjoying their superior performance for about three years now. The difference is remarkable. The K-Guard system is designed to prevent clogs, and their service commitment is exceptional – they even offer to check for clogs. When they inspected mine, it was clean and functional.

K-Guard has been a true hero when compared to my previous experience with LeafGuard. Our roof has quite a steep pitch, and boy, every time a heavy rainstorm hit, the gutters just couldn't keep up. We've got these tall pine trees everywhere, and those pesky pine needles drop like crazy a few times each year. When it came to cleaning, LeafGuard was alright, but when those wild storms rolled in, it struggled with the water flow. K-Guard Gutters came to the rescue big time. With our gutters handling nearly double the water volume, it's been a total game-changer during this year's wild rainstorms. And here's the best part – one of my sons excitedly shared that we didn't have a single issue, not even a drop! Thanks to K-Guard Gutters, our home is secure and totally hassle-free.

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.
