LeafFilter alternative
We used to install LeafFilter.
Now we build a stronger guard, at on average half the price of vinyl guards. Get a second quote from the installers who know the product, anywhere in Upstate South Carolina.
Why we're different
We know what goes on your roof.
Before Studs Gutters, we installed LeafFilter. We saw how it goes on: a cheaper vinyl guard that mounts to the brackets and just slides in.
So we do it differently. We reinforce your gutter with new brackets first, then permanently fix a stainless steel mesh and aluminum rail guard onto the top of the gutter. The mesh is finer, so less roof silt gets in, and the aluminum rails strengthen the gutter and look better from the street.
