Common types
| Type | How it works | Watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Screens | Perforated metal or plastic panels | Small debris and seeds can pass through or stick |
| Micro-mesh | Fine stainless mesh over a frame | Higher cost; mesh surface needs occasional brushing |
| Reverse curve (surface tension) | Water follows a curved lip into the gutter | Can overshoot in very heavy rain; visible from the ground |
| Foam or brush inserts | Fill the gutter to block debris | Can hold debris and need more frequent cleaning |
What raises the price
- Two-story homes and steep roofs.
- Cleaning or repairing gutters before installing guards.
- Premium micro-mesh systems.
- Replacing old gutters at the same time (new aluminum gutters run $3–$15 per linear foot).
