K-Guard vs. LeafGuard Gutters

Key Comparisons

Volume and Size

K-Guard: Boasting a remarkable size that is 50% larger, K-Guard effortlessly outperforms LeafGuard by managing substantial rainfall and channeling it away from your home. Don’t settle for limitations – choose K-Guard for superior gutter solutions that truly safeguard your home, even in the harshest weather conditions.

LeafGuard: LeafGuard has a smaller overall volume and size that limits the amount of water that it can handle. Larger modern homes, that need uncompromising gutters, may struggle with LeafGuard’s smaller size causing water to overflow and improper channeling.

Enhanced Durability

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.

LeafGuard: While LeafGuard claims to minimize the need for cleaning, smaller debris can still accumulate on the surface, requiring occasional cleaning to maintain optimal performance. On top of that, there is no support on the bottom of Leaf Guard’s gutters, so they are prone to sag and open up over time.

Maintenance and Peace of Mind

K-Guard: Constructed from heavy-duty, high-quality aluminum, K-Guard gutters offer exceptional durability and resistance to bending, denting, and warping. They are designed to withstand various weather conditions and provide long-lasting protection for your home.

LeafGuard: LeafGuard utilizes a stainless steel micromesh screen with a durable frame. While the materials used are sturdy, the longevity and durability of the system may not match the robust construction of K-Guard gutters.

Pest Prevention

K-Guard: K-Guard gutters feature a sleek and seamless design that enhances the aesthetics of your home. The custom-fitted installation ensures a clean, streamlined appearance without visible joints or brackets.

LeafGuard: LeafGuard’s micromesh screen may be visible from the ground, potentially affecting the visual appeal of your home. The appearance may not be as seamless or visually appealing as K-Guard gutters.

Real Life Examples and Case Studies

Mr. Merritt

Max Martinez

I'm incredibly pleased to share my experience with K-Guard Gutters, a true hero when compared to LeafGuard. Before making the switch, the struggle was real – water coming down the roof and freezing over the covers, creating ice buildup and icicles. What's more, my entryway became a challenge as time went on. With my garage filled with belongings, I had to park outside, crossing icy walkways to access my cars. After purchasing LeafGuard, I faced the same ice problems. They tried various solutions, but it was K-Guard that finally provided us with a reliable solution.

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.

I had this unique metal roof in a cool red shade, and at first, I went with LeafGuard to avoid any maintenance. But, the color options were so limited, it looked kind of odd. When it came time to change the roof, I found K-Guard Gutters and their Colonial Red option, which matched perfectly and looked amazing. Additionally, I realized that K-Guard had some clear advantages over LeafGuard. For instance, size matters – K-Guard can handle way more water volume because of its size, which is perfect for those Colorado rainstorms. Then, their bracket system was a game-changer. It supports not just the hood but also the trough, unlike LeafGuard. Plus, the fact that they offer 77 different colors is pretty impressive. Thanks to them, my home's protection is top-notch, with the bonus of looking great too.

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.

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.

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.

– Jim M.
