Stainless Steel Micro-Mesh Gutter Guards. Installed Right.
We install LeafBlaster Pro stainless steel micro-mesh gutter guards on metro Detroit homes — on your existing gutters or new seamless runs — backed by the manufacturer's warranty, with an honest recommendation based on your actual tree cover, not a hard sell.
LeafBlaster Pro stainless steel micro-mesh
We looked at every style of gutter guard sold in Michigan — foam inserts, brush guards, plastic screens, reverse-curve “helmets” — and settled on one: LeafBlaster Pro, the contractor-only micro-mesh guard from Gutterglove. A 316 stainless steel mesh on an extruded aluminum frame, with a patented Z-Bend profile that keeps debris lifted so it dries and blows off instead of matting down.
It blocks everything metro Detroit's trees drop — maple seeds, oak tassels, pine needles, and the shingle grit that quietly fills a gutter — while passing the heaviest summer downpour. Stainless and aluminum shrug off freeze-thaw, and the manufacturer backs the product with its own warranty. We add our written workmanship warranty on top.
- Filter: 316 stainless steel micro-mesh — never rusts, never sags, never grows brittle in the cold
- Frame: Extruded aluminum rails that hold the mesh rigid under snow, ice, and ladder bumps
- Design: Patented Z-Bend mesh lifts debris off the surface so it dries and blows away instead of matting down
- Blocks: Leaves, maple “helicopters,” oak tassels, pine needles, seed pods, and shingle grit
- Fits: 5-inch and 6-inch K-style gutters, fascia-mount, and half-round — new runs or sound existing gutters
- Attachment: Screwed to the gutter, tucked at the back — nothing is fastened to your roof or shingles
- Warranty: Gutterglove’s manufacturer warranty on the product (we give you the paperwork), plus Guthix’s written workmanship warranty
- Availability: Contractor-only product — installed by licensed pros, not sold in big-box stores
A clogged gutter is a gutter working against your house
Every fall, metro Detroit's tree canopy fills open gutters faster than most homeowners can clear them. Packed gutters overflow at the fascia in every hard rain, hold heavy standing water that drags runs out of pitch — and hand winter a head start on the ice that builds along your eaves.
Guards fix the cause instead of the symptom: debris stays out, water keeps moving, and the gutters stay light and draining the way they were hung. We install LeafBlaster Pro on sound existing gutters or as part of new seamless runs, and we'll tell you honestly whether your street's trees justify guards at all.
Book a Gutter AppointmentWhat stainless micro-mesh guards actually do for your home
Keeps Out the Small Stuff
Cheap snap-in screens stop leaves and let maple seeds, pine needles, and shingle grit right through. Stainless micro-mesh stops all of it. Under metro Detroit's maples and oaks, that's the difference between guards that work and guards you're cleaning anyway.
Handles Michigan Downpours
Micro-mesh sounds like it would shed water, but the Z-Bend mesh pulls it through even in a hard summer storm. Water goes in the gutter, debris stays on top, and your fascia and foundation stay dry.
Built for Freeze-Thaw
Stainless steel and aluminum don't rust, crack, or turn brittle at ten below. Foam and plastic guards do. That's why the manufacturer stands behind LeafBlaster Pro for 40 years — and why we install it instead of the disposable stuff.
Our Simple Gutter Guard Process
A free checkup, an honest recommendation, and a clean LeafBlaster Pro install — usually done in a single visit.
Free Gutter Checkup
We look at your gutters, downspouts, and tree cover. If your existing gutters are sound, guards can go right on; if they're failing, we'll tell you before you spend guard money on a system that needs replacing.
Honest Recommendation
Guards earn their cost under heavy tree cover — and often aren't worth it on an open lot. We'll tell you which house you have, with the guards priced as their own line item so you decide with real numbers.
Clean & Install
We clear and flush the gutters, confirm pitch and secure attachment, then fit LeafBlaster Pro to each run, screw it to the gutter, and seal the ends so debris and pests can't get underneath.
Final Flow Check
We run water through every run and downspout, clean up completely, hand you the manufacturer warranty paperwork, and back the workmanship in writing.
The questions homeowners ask us most
We install LeafBlaster Pro stainless steel micro-mesh gutter guards, made by Gutterglove. It's a contractor-only product — you can't buy it at a big-box store — with a 316 stainless steel mesh on an extruded aluminum frame, backed by Gutterglove's manufacturer warranty. We chose it after looking at what actually survives Michigan winters and metro Detroit's tree cover, and we install it on every gutter guard job.
It depends on your trees — and we'll tell you straight. Under the mature canopies common across metro Detroit's older neighborhoods, guards genuinely earn their cost by keeping leaves and seeds from packing the gutters every season. On an open lot with little overhead, they're usually not worth the money, and we'd rather say so than sell you something you don't need.
Because of what falls on a metro Detroit roof. Foam inserts and brush guards trap debris and rot; plastic snap-in screens let maple seeds, pine needles, and shingle grit through and turn brittle in the cold; reverse-curve “helmet” guards overshoot in hard rain. Stainless micro-mesh is the only style that blocks fine debris and passes heavy rain and lasts through freeze-thaw — which is why we only install one product and stand behind it.
Yes, as long as the gutters underneath are sound — properly pitched, securely fastened, and not rusted through or pulling off the fascia. LeafBlaster Pro fits 5-inch and 6-inch K-style gutters as well as fascia-mount and half-round. We check the gutters first during the free inspection. If they're already failing, we'll show you photos and recommend putting the money toward new seamless runs with guards included, rather than capping a system that's on its way out.
Almost — but we won't oversell it. Micro-mesh keeps out the leaves, seeds, and grit that cause real clogs, which eliminates the routine ladder work. A little debris can still collect on top of the guards until wind and rain clear it, and downspouts are worth a glance every year or two. “Dramatically less maintenance” is the honest promise; “never think about it again” isn't.
No — and anyone who promises that is overselling. Ice dams start with heat escaping your attic, not with your gutters. What guards do help with: clogged gutters that hold standing water and freeze into a trough of ice, straining the whole system all winter. Guards keep the debris out so meltwater can actually drain. Like any gutter guard, LeafBlaster Pro can still grow icicles in a hard freeze. If your real problem is above the gutter line, we'll tell you that during the inspection.
Guards are priced per linear foot and always quoted as their own line item — never bundled invisibly into a gutter or roof price. That way you can see exactly what they add and take them or leave them. You'll pay far less than the national franchise brands charge for a comparable stainless micro-mesh system, because you're paying a local contractor for a product and an install — not a sales commission. The free quote gives you the real number for your home's footage.
