Gutter Guard Installation in Dayton, Ohio
Our stainless steel micro-mesh gutter guards run $12 to $18 per foot installed. Where your home falls depends on the pitch of the roof, how steep it is, how many stories the house has and how hard the gutters are to reach. Every install carries our lifetime warranty on material and workmanship; if a guard ever gives you trouble, we fix it at no cost to you. Most houses take about two hours, and you won't clean your gutters again.

Measure your gutters
How the gutter guard calculator works
Your price range is based on the feet of gutter you want covered. It's a range, not a quote, because every house has corners, heights and details a calculator can't see. Your exact price comes from a free inspection, where we measure your gutters ourselves. Schedule your free inspection.
What we install
We install one kind of guard: stainless steel micro-mesh on an aluminum frame. It keeps leaves and debris out of the gutter while the water runs through. We fit a wider guard to 6-inch gutters than to 5-inch gutters, so the whole opening is covered.
- The back edge slides under the first row of shingles.
- The front fastens to the front of the gutter.
- Nothing is fastened to your roof, so the guards won't void a roof warranty.
- The guards sit at a slight slope, so leaves on top wash off with the next rain.

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 |

Questions about gutter guards in Dayton
How much do gutter guards cost in Dayton?
$12 to $18 per foot installed. The pitch of the roof, how steep it is, how many stories the house has and how hard the gutters are to reach set where your home falls.
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.
Do I still have to clean my gutters?
No. If you ever have a problem, call us and we'll send someone out.
Do gutter guards work in heavy rain?
Dayton gets about 41 inches of rain and snow a year. Ours hold up in heavy rain and through the winter. We've installed these guards for eight years without a callback for a clogged guard.
Are gutter guards worth it?
If your gutters clog every fall or you're tired of the ladder, yes. You stop cleaning them, and the water keeps going where it should.
What are the downsides of gutter guards?
The upfront cost, and a guard can't fix a bad gutter. Undersized, poorly sloped or failing gutters won't drain right no matter what's on top. If yours need work first, we'll tell you instead of capping a bad system.
Can you put guards on my existing gutters?
Yes, if they're in decent shape. If they aren't, new seamless gutters and guards together is often the cleanest fix.
Will gutter guards void my roof warranty?
No. Nothing is fastened to the roof.
How long does installation take?
About two hours on most houses.
Is the measurement free?
Yes, with no obligation.

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.
