FAQs
Why are leaf guards important for homes in Greenback?
Greenback’s mix of deciduous trees and seasonal storms means gutters can clog quickly with leaves, twigs, and pine needles. Leaf guards create a barrier that lets water enter the gutter while keeping debris out. This reduces maintenance, prevents overflow that can damage fascia, siding, and foundations, and extends the life of your gutter system.
How do I know if my existing gutters need to be replaced or just fitted with leaf guards?
We inspect your gutter system for rust, sagging sections, seam separation, peeling paint, and water marks on siding or foundation. If the metal is structurally sound and properly pitched, adding leaf guards may be sufficient. However, if gutters are undersized, heavily corroded, or pulling away from the roofline, replacement with new seamless aluminum gutters plus integrated guards is the most cost-effective long-term solution.
What types of leaf guards do you install in the Greenback area?
We offer micromesh stainless-steel guards, aluminum perforated covers, and surface-tension (reverse-curve) guards. Micromesh is the most popular locally because it blocks small debris like oak tassels and pine needles while allowing high water flow during heavy Tennessee downpours. All options are screwed to the gutter lip—not under shingles—so they won’t void roof warranties.
Will installing leaf guards affect my roof warranty?
No. Our installation method attaches the guard to the gutter, not beneath the shingles, preserving roof integrity and manufacturer warranties. We also follow the National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA) guidelines and local Greenback building codes to ensure compliance.
How long does a gutter replacement with leaf guards take?
For an average single-story 2,000-sq-ft home, complete removal of old gutters, installation of new seamless gutters, downspouts, and leaf guards typically takes one day. Larger or multi-story homes may require two days. We schedule most projects within 7–10 business days of approval, weather permitting.
What maintenance is required after leaf guards are installed?
While leaf guards greatly reduce debris buildup, we recommend a quick visual inspection every spring and fall. Rinse the guards with a garden hose to clear pollen or fine silt. We offer an annual maintenance plan that includes inspection, minor adjustments, and downspout flushing to keep your system operating at peak efficiency.
