Gutter guards are like a protective shield for your gutters—they keep out leaves, twigs, and other debris while still letting rainwater flow freely. Here’s why they’re worth it:

911 Gutter Team only works with products that we believe in and that have proven to be high-quality. For the ultimate protection against leaves, debris and, yes, squirrels, we install Leafblaster Pro’s stainless steel micro-mesh gutter guards.

Yes—but not nearly as often. Gutter guards significantly reduce the amount of debris that gets into your gutters, but they’re not 100% maintenance-free. Over time, small bits like dirt, pine needles, or shingle grit can still build up on top or sneak through tiny openings.

Think of gutter guards like a strainer in your sink—they stop the big stuff, but they still need a little attention now and then to keep things flowing perfectly.

You sure can! The real question is: do you really want to?

DIY gutter guard installation is totally doable if you’re the handy type with a sturdy ladder and some free time. But before you start channeling your inner weekend warrior, here’s a quick breakdown:

DIYing your gutter guards is great for people with one-story homes, simple rooflines, and who actually like trips to the hardware store. You’ll save some money, and gain the ability to say “I did that!” every time it rains.

The downside is that not all guards are created equal—some need cutting, snapping, or screwing into place. That’s can be a lot of work, with a big learning curve. And if you have to buy the right tools, bye-bye savings.

One wrong move and your guards (or your gutters) might not work as intended. Also: ladders. Enough said.

On the other hand, letting the professionals handle it means a job that’s quick, safe, and done right the first time – with professional-grade materials and a warranty. You stay comfy on the ground with your favorite drink while we handle the heights.
