Gutter Guards

Micro-mesh gutter guards – keep debris out without restricting water flow. Reduce cleaning to every 3–5 years.

Wichita's Gutter Guard Installation Experts

Clogged gutters overflow, pulling water down your siding and into your foundation. They also become heavy with wet debris, pulling gutters away from fascia. Gutter guards eliminate the constant cycle of cleaning – but only if you choose the right design. At Wichita Roofing Pros, we install stainless steel micro-mesh gutter guards that block shingle grit, seed pods, and leaves while allowing full water flow even during Wichita’s hardest downpours.

Why micro-mesh? Foam inserts and brush guards clog with fine debris (pine needles, cottonwood seeds) within months. Plastic snap-in grates warp in the sun. Micro-mesh stainless steel (with apertures smaller than a grain of rice) stops everything except water. Our guards are installed under the first course of shingles (or over the roof edge) and attach securely to the gutter lip – no lifting or popping out.

After installation, most homeowners can go 3–5 years between gutter cleanings, with only a light hose rinse needed annually to clear any accumulated dust or pollen. We also offer a maintenance program where we inspect and rinse guards once per year. For homes surrounded by mature trees, guards are the single best investment you can make to protect your gutters and foundation.

What Gutter Guard Installation Includes

Full Gutter Cleaning Before Installation

Old debris is removed entirely from gutters and downspouts before any guard is installed – no point in covering a clogged gutter.

Gutter Inspection & Minor Repairs

We check for leaks, sagging, or loose hangers. Minor repairs (resealing seams, adding hangers) are included at no extra charge.

Micro-Mesh Panel Installation

Stainless steel micro-mesh panels cut to length, attached to gutter lip, and secured under shingles or against the roof edge – no exposed fasteners.

Downspout Screen (If Needed)

If your downspouts have no leaf guards, we add a small screen at the top to catch any debris that somehow gets past the micro-mesh.

Gutter Guard Systems We Install

Stainless Steel Micro-Mesh

.023″ stainless steel woven mesh with apertures under 500 microns. Blocks shingle grit, pine needles, and seeds. Lifetime warranty against rust or failure.

Aluminum Micro-Mesh

Lighter-duty aluminum mesh – good for moderate debris but less durable than stainless. 10-year warranty. Lower cost.

Reverse Curve (Surface Tension) Guards

Solid hood design that directs water around a curve while debris falls off. Works well on steep-pitch roofs. More expensive and can be overwhelmed in heavy rain.

Snap-In Plastic Grates

Budget option – large openings (1/4″+) that allow fine debris through. Not recommended for Wichita's cottonwood and oak debris. We offer only as a temporary solution.

Gutter Guard Installation Process

How We Install Micro-Mesh Guards on Your Gutters

Step 1 – Gutter Cleaning & Inspection

We clean all debris from gutters and downspouts, flush with water, and inspect for any repairs needed before guard installation.

01

Step 2 – Panel Cutting & Fit

Stainless steel mesh rolls are cut to the exact length of each gutter section. Panels are trimmed around downspout openings and corners.

02

Step 3 – Attachment

Panels are inserted under the roof shingles (or against the roof edge) and snapped or screwed into the gutter lip – secure against wind and snow.

03

Step 4 – Final Flush & Test

We run water from the roof peak to confirm flow through the mesh and into downspouts. No overflow, no pooling. Cleanup of any debris.

Residential Roofing FAQ

Do gutter guards eliminate the need for gutter cleaning entirely?
No – but they reduce it by 80–90%. Micro-mesh guards stop nearly all debris, but a fine layer of dust, pollen, or shingle grit can accumulate on the mesh surface over years. We recommend an annual light rinse from a garden hose – no ladder climbing required if you have a hose attachment. After 3–5 years, a professional cleaning of the mesh may be beneficial, but most homeowners find that minimal.
High-quality stainless steel micro-mesh has apertures of approximately 400–500 microns (0.016″–0.020″). That is smaller than a grain of sand. It stops shingle grit, pine needles, oak tassels, cottonwood seeds, and even most maple seeds. The only things that can pass through are pollen and very fine dust – which wash through with water.
Yes – but installation is slightly different. For metal roofs, we attach the guard to the gutter lip and use a special foam filler at the gap between the roof edge and gutter. We have specific methods for standing seam and corrugated metal. Discuss during your consultation.
Stainless steel micro-mesh guards typically cost $10–$18 per linear foot installed. For an average Wichita home with 200 linear feet of gutters, total cost is $2,000–$3,600. Aluminum micro-mesh is $6–$10 per foot. The investment pays for itself in avoided cleaning costs (professional cleaning at $150–$300 twice per year) within 3–5 years.
Yes – positively. By keeping debris out, guards prevent the constant moisture and weight that cause gutters to rust, sag, or pull away from fascia. Gutters with quality guards often last 10–15 years longer than unprotected gutters. They also reduce the risk of ice dams by preventing debris from trapping water at the roof edge.
