Gutter screens
Screens keep most leaves, needles, and moss out of your gutters so they need cleaning less often. They do not make gutters maintenance free, and no screen is right for every roof. We look at your trees, your roof, and your gutters, then recommend what fits.
When screens are worth considering
- Tall firs, cedars, or maples near the roof
- Gutters that clog again within months of a cleaning
- A two story roofline that is hard to reach safely
- Moss and roof grit washing into the gutters
What the work includes
A typical job. Your written estimate lists the exact scope for your home.
Scope and any applicable warranty are specific to your solution and written estimate.
- Cleaning and checking the gutters before screens go on
- Fixing issues we find first, quoted separately so you can decide
- Fitting screens along the runs and at corners
- Checking that outlets and downspouts stay clear
What we check at the visit
Your trees
Fir and pine needles are small and behave differently from broad leaves. The kind of debris your roof gets is the main thing that decides which screen makes sense.
The gutters underneath
Screens on top of leaking or sagging gutters just hide the problem. If the gutters need work first, we will say so.
Upkeep afterward
Debris can still collect on top of screens and needs an occasional clearing. We will tell you what to expect for your home.
Options we talk through
- Screens on the whole house or only the runs under trees
- Screens added to a new gutter installation
What affects the price
- Total length of gutter to cover
- Height and roof access
- Condition of the existing gutters
- Corners and roof sections
Every price comes from the visit and measurements. We do not quote from a formula.
Questions about gutter screens
Will screens mean I never clean my gutters again?
No. They cut down on cleanings a lot for most homes, but debris can still build up on top and needs to be cleared now and then. Maintenance free is not a promise we make.
Can screens go on my existing gutters?
Usually, if the gutters are in good condition and properly sloped. If they are not, we will recommend fixing that first.
