Gutter guards that actually work on Lincoln homes
Lincoln’s mature neighborhoods — Near South, Country Club, Havelock, College View — are full of big oaks, maples, cottonwoods and pines. That’s why gutters here clog twice a year, overflow in a summer downpour, and pull loose under ice in January. Clogged gutters send water straight to your foundation and behind your siding.
A properly fitted gutter guard keeps leaves, seeds and pine needles out while letting heavy rain in. The key words are properly fitted: guards need to match the gutter size and roof pitch, tuck under the shingles without lifting them, and be secured to the gutter so they don’t sag or blow off.
We install guards on new seamless gutters and retrofit them to existing gutters that are still in good shape. Because we’re also a roofing contractor, we know how to work at the roof edge without voiding your shingle warranty.
Why homeowners add gutter guards
- No more ladder trips — the main reason people call, especially on two-story homes.
- Foundation and basement protection — gutters that flow keep water away from the house.
- Fewer ice dams — clear gutters drain meltwater instead of freezing it in place.
- Longer gutter life — no standing water and debris rotting the seams and pulling the hangers.
- No pests — closed gutters don’t hold the wet debris that mosquitoes, wasps and birds love.
- Works with 5″ and 6″ seamless gutters, on any roof pitch.
Gutter guard types we install
There’s no single best guard; it depends on your trees, your roof and your budget. We install:
- Stainless micro-mesh guards — the best all-around choice; keeps out pine needles and shingle grit, handles heavy rain.
- Perforated aluminum guards — durable and economical for homes with mostly leaves rather than needles.
- Reverse-curve (surface tension) guards for homes with heavy leaf load and steep roofs.
- Downspout screens and splash guards for inside corners and valleys that dump a lot of water.
- New seamless gutters with guards as one system when the existing gutters are past their life.
How the project goes
- Free estimate. We check gutter condition, pitch, hangers and downspouts, and recommend a guard style for your trees.
- Gutter tune-up — clean, reseal seams, re-pitch and re-hang as needed before guards go on.
- Guards installed — cut to fit each run, secured to the gutter, tucked under the shingle edge without lifting it.
- Water test and walkthrough, usually done the same day.

Storm damage and insurance claims
Hail dents gutters and downspouts, and wind tears guards and gutters loose. If a storm damaged your gutters, we document them with the roof so your claim covers the full exterior. How an insurance claim works →

Frequently asked questions
How much do gutter guards cost in Lincoln?
It depends on the guard type, the linear footage and whether the gutters need a tune-up first. We give a free written estimate; micro-mesh costs more than perforated aluminum but handles pine needles and grit.
Do gutter guards really keep out pine needles?
Micro-mesh guards do. Perforated and reverse-curve guards let fine needles through, so we match the guard to your trees.
Can you put guards on my existing gutters?
Yes, if the gutters are sound. We clean, reseal and re-pitch them first. If they’re rusted, separated or sagging, new seamless gutters with guards are the better value.
Will gutter guards void my roof warranty?
Not the way we install them. Guards are secured to the gutter and slipped under the drip edge without lifting or nailing through shingles.
Do gutter guards cause ice dams?
No — ice dams come from attic heat loss and poor ventilation. Clear, free-flowing gutters actually reduce ice buildup at the eave.
