While gutters are effective at catching and removing water from your roof, they also tend to collect dirt and other debris such as twigs, leaves, and pine needles. When this happens, gutters can clog and lead to water overflow. The water can then seep into your home’s foundation or leak through your roof. How do you prevent this from happening? You just need gutter guards installed by Pro Roofing NW, the top-rated gutter company serving Kirkland, the Seattle metro, and surrounding areas of western Washington.
Gutter guards are the best way to keep leaves and pine needles out of your gutter and reduce or eliminate the need for regular gutter cleaning. They are simply installed on top of your gutter system, so it’s not a massive project. The best gutter guards protect you from constantly needing to remove pine needles, leaves, and debris—instead redirecting them away from the trough, preventing clogs that can lead to damaged roofing, landscaping, foundations, and more.
Western Washington is filled with pine trees, and the millions and millions of pine needles that come with them. Unsurprisingly, clogged gutters caused by pine needles is a common problem, but fortunately, there's an easy solution! Pro Roofing NW has seen hundreds of gutter covers in our many years in the gutter industry, and we’ve identified two of the strongest-performing systems available:
Micromesh gutter guards are some of the best at catching pine needles, though they do work exceptionally well with all types of debris. Micromesh gutter guards only allow very fine particles (silt) to pass through, but these particles are easy to remove. One convenient feature of the Micromesh gutter guards is they can be accessed after they are installed. Micromesh gutter guards only come in black, but they are barely visible from the ground and won’t detract from your home’s curb appeal.
Leaf-proof gutter guards are an interlocking gutter guard system that comes in a variety of colors thanks to their painted finish. They work well for leaves and needles, but must be installed in conjunction with a new roof. As with most leaf and needle systems, leaf-proof gutter additions will allow only a small amount of debris into the gutters, and this will be quickly flushed out during the first rain.
Pro Roofing NW has become the go-to gutter experts in western Washington over the years for a variety of reasons, including:
