The honest version
What gutter guards actually do
Our gutter guards keep leaves and debris out of the gutter, so water keeps flowing and you are not up on a ladder cleaning them out. That's the real benefit: no more gutter cleaning, and gutters that keep doing their job through a wet Ohio fall.
How our gutter guards are installed
- The back edge slides under the first row of shingles.
- The front edge is fastened to the front of the gutter.
- Nothing is fastened to your roof.
- Most houses are done in about two hours or less.
Stainless steel micro-mesh
The mesh keeps out leaves, pine needles, maple seeds, oak tassels and shingle grit, while rainwater runs straight through into the gutter. The guards sit at a slight slope, so leaves that land on top wash off with the next rain. They fit 5-inch and 6-inch gutters, on new seamless gutters or existing gutters in good shape.
Gutter guard types compared
| Type | How it works | Where it falls short |
|---|---|---|
| Stainless steel micro-mesh (what we install) | A fine screen lets water through and keeps debris on top, where it washes off | Costs more up front than a basic screen |
| Perforated metal | A sheet with holes over the gutter | Seeds and shingle grit fit through the holes |
| Reverse curve (hood) | Water follows the curve into the gutter and debris drops off the edge | Heavy rain can run past the curve, and debris collects at the lip |
| Foam or brush inserts | Sit inside the gutter and fill it | Hold debris and break down over time |
| Plastic screens | Snap on top of the gutter | Sag, crack and warp in sun and cold |

Guards and the system under them
The gutter underneath still matters
A guard is only as good as the gutter it sits on. Undersized, poorly sloped, or failing gutters won't drain correctly no matter what's on top of them. We install guards on both 5-inch and 6-inch systems, and if the gutters underneath need correcting or replacing first, we'll say so instead of capping a bad system with a guard.
Often the cleanest result is new seamless gutters and guards installed together.
Lifetime warranty on material and workmanship
Your gutter guards carry a lifetime warranty on both the material and our workmanship. We handle it ourselves, so there's no manufacturer to chase and nothing to mail in. If a guard ever gives you trouble, call us and we'll send someone out. Nobody should be on a ladder at gutter height because of a product we sold them. See the Lifetime Workmanship Warranty.
Signs you need gutter guards
- Gutters that clog every fall
- Water spilling over the gutter in a hard rain
- Seedlings or weeds growing in the gutters
- Big trees near the house
- You're tired of getting on a ladder to clean them
Questions about gutter guards in Dayton
How much do gutter guards cost?
The price depends mostly on how many feet of gutter you want covered. Enter your footage above for a price range on your house. Your exact price comes from a free inspection. Book a free inspection.
Is the online estimate my real price?
No. It's a price range from your own measurements. Your exact price comes from a free inspection, where we measure your gutters ourselves. Schedule your free inspection here, or call 937-215-8663 to schedule it.
Is the inspection free?
Yes. The inspection is free, with no obligation.
Do gutter guards really work?
Yes. Stainless steel micro-mesh keeps leaves, needles, seeds and grit out while the water runs through.
Do gutter guards work in winter and heavy rain?
Yes. The stainless steel mesh carries water through in a downpour, and snow and ice don't damage it. We've installed these guards for eight years without a callback for a clogged guard.
When aren't gutter guards worth it?
When the gutters underneath are the problem. A guard can't fix an undersized gutter, a run that doesn't drain or downspouts that can't keep up, so failing gutters get replaced first. And a house with no trees nearby may not collect enough debris to need them.
Do I still have to clean my gutters?
No. The guards sit at a slight slope, so leaves and debris that land on top wash off with the next rain. If you ever have an issue, call us and we will send someone out.
Will gutter guards void my roof warranty?
No. The back edge slides under the first row of shingles, and nothing is fastened to your roof. The guards are fastened to the gutter only.
Can you put guards on my existing gutters?
Yes, if they're in good shape.
How long does the install take?
About two hours or less on most houses.
What warranty do I get?
A lifetime warranty on material and workmanship.
Do you clean or repair gutters?
No. We install new seamless gutters and gutter guards.

Kara Aub and his team did a great job with our new roof install. He made sure we were set for the winter and then installed as soon as possible in the spring for best results. Helping Hands also worked directly with our insurance, which was a huge help!

Amanda I would absolutely recommend Helping Hands to anyone. They did a great job replacing my roof and downspouts. I appreciate the amount of work that they put into helping me with my insurance company and how much they cared about me. They helped with things I'm quite sure other companies wouldn't have cared about. In the end, when my insurance company wouldn't budge, they made sure I was taken care of. Thank you for everything.

Rob I highly recommend Aub and the team at Helping Hands Roofing! They replaced my roof five years ago, and we had a fantastic experience. Recently, after experiencing storm damage, Aub and his crew came out quickly to make the repairs. We ran into a few unexpected obstacles both times, but Aub's fast and clear communication made resolving them a breeze. If you’re looking for a local, honest, and family-oriented company, definitely give them a call for your next roofing project.
