MicroMesh and reverse-curve leaf guards fitted to your eavestroughs — fewer ladder days, fewer overflows.
Fine stainless mesh over an aluminum frame. Blocks leaves, maple keys and shingle grit while letting heavy rain straight through. The best all-round choice under Guelph's maples.
A solid cover that curls water into the trough and sheds debris over the edge. Good for homes with lots of large leaves and little pine.
Most sound, well-pitched eavestroughs can take guards as-is. We clean, re-secure loose hangers and seal leaking joints before the guards go on.
If your system is sagging or near the end of its life, we can quote seamless replacement with guards installed in the same visit.
Guelph is one of the most heavily treed cities in Ontario, and that is what drives the decision. Maple keys pack into eavestroughs in late spring, leaves arrive in October and November, and pines drop needles all year. A home that needs eavestrough cleaning three or four times a year is a strong candidate for guards; a home with no trees overhead often is not.
Guards also make sense on two-storey homes and steep roofs, where every cleaning visit is a bigger job. They are not a fix for a leaking or sagging system — if water is spilling over a section that has lost its pitch, that needs eavestrough repair first.
Searching for LeafGuard in Guelph? LeafGuard is one brand of covered gutter. We can walk you through how MicroMesh guards and a new seamless eavestrough with guards compare, so you choose on performance rather than brand name.
We install gutter guards throughout Guelph and the surrounding region:
Quality MicroMesh guards stop leaves, maple keys and most pine needles from entering the eavestrough. They cut cleaning dramatically but no guard is zero-maintenance — expect to brush off the top surface occasionally, especially under pines.
No. LeafGuard is one specific brand of one-piece covered gutter. We install MicroMesh and reverse-curve leaf guards that fit onto your existing eavestroughs, and we can also quote a full seamless replacement with guards included. Ask us to compare options on the same visit.
Usually, yes — as long as the eavestrough is sound, properly pitched and not leaking at multiple joints. If it is sagging or near the end of its life, it makes more sense to replace it and add guards in one job.
Guards do not cause ice dams — poor attic insulation and ventilation do. A well-fitted MicroMesh guard keeps the trough clear of leaves, which actually helps water drain before freeze-up.
If you are cleaning three or more times a year, have large maples, oaks or pines over the roofline, or have a two-storey home that is hard to reach, guards usually pay for themselves. If you only clean twice a year, regular cleaning may be cheaper.
