The Magic of Leaf Screens (and a super cute puppy)

It’s raining, it’s pouring, the old man is snoring…
because he doesn’t have to worry about cleaning his gutters.

Ok. Let’s talk leaf screens. Installing leaf screens can be a huge benefit to your home. Big time.

This is his impression of Falcor from The Neverending Story.
So cute, right?

The first and obvious reason is that they stop leaves and other debris from entering your gutters, eliminating the need to pull out the ladder and clean them out. By keeping all that mess out of there in the first place, you can avoid clogged gutters and downspouts, eliminating the need to pull out the ladder and clean them out IN THE MIDDLE OF A DOWNPOUR. Yeah, no thanks. I think I’ll just stay inside all warm and cozy with my puppy, Freddie Mercury. Isn’t he just adorable? Yes, I am totally exploiting him to entice you to read this blog. And it worked too! 😀 Ok, back on topic… Free flowing gutters and downspouts will diminish the risk of flooding or other damage to your home and gutter system. And guess what? That’s going to save you time, money and a great big headache! But wait that’s not all! Leaf screens will also prevent any furry little friends from making a cozy new home in your roof. I’ve seen what they can do and you don’t want that to happen.

This bad boy right here is the type of screen we use the most. They are installed under the starter row of shingles and fastened to the front lip of the gutter at each end of the 4’ length. We’ve installed thousands of feet of this screen and haven’t had any complaints yet! You can start protecting your home for just $5.95/foot (that includes materials AND labor!). Contact us today to schedule your installation or just to get some more information. Just think how much hassle and money you’ll save by having Guttersmiths install some leaf screens. Gosh, I love being the bearer of good news!
