Leaf Guard Installation for Existing Gutters
Protect Your Gutters Without Replacing the Entire System
Not every home needs brand-new gutters. If your current gutters are still secure and draining properly, Slote Gutter Company
can install leaf guards directly onto your existing system. Our leaf guard options help keep leaves, sticks, and debris out of your gutters so water can move away from your home the way it should.
Do You Need New Gutters or Just Leaf Guards?
Many homeowners assume clogged gutters need to be fully replaced, but that is not always the case. If the gutters are still properly attached, pitched correctly, and free from major damage, adding leaf guards may be the better option. Our team can inspect your existing gutters and let you know whether leaf guard installation or gutter replacement makes the most sense for your home.

Why Install Gutter Guards?
Prolongs the Life of the Gutters
Moisture-laden debris lying in the gutters for a long time can cause metal structures to rust. When you make sure that debris cannot enter, you can double the life of the gutters with corrosion and rust prevention.
Improves Gutter Water Flow
Installing gutter guards can improve water flow through the gutters and downspouts. It can be an excellent advantage of gutter guards, particularly when you have a rainwater tank. With guards, you can ensure your tank refills more quickly. Moreover, your tank will have much cleaner water.
Stops Blockages
If water becomes trapped in the gutter during winter, it has the potential to freeze, resulting in the formation of ice dams. So, you can benefit from gutter guards. Overflowing gutters are dangerous as they can allow water to cause damage to the foundation and enter your home. Also, overflowing gutters can lead to those unsightly stains on your home’s exterior.
Alleviates Gutter Freezing and Ice Dams
In winter when water gets trapped in the gutter, it may freeze, causing the formation of ice dams. Even though gutter guards alone can’t prevent dams, they will prevent debris from accumulating in the gutter. This might alleviate ice dams.
A Smart Upgrade Before Heavy Leaf Buildup
Fall is one of the best times to think about leaf guard installation because leaves and debris can quickly clog open gutters. Adding leaf guards before buildup becomes a problem can help reduce overflow, protect your fascia and siding, and make seasonal gutter maintenance much easier.
Leaf Guards Are Ideal If You Want To:
- Reduce how often your gutters need to be cleaned
- Help prevent clogs from leaves, sticks, and roof debris
- Improve water flow through your existing gutter system
- Help protect your fascia, siding, foundation, and landscaping
- Keep your current gutters while upgrading their performance
