Why Homeowners Add Guards
Stop Paying To Clean The Same Gutters Twice A Year
Gutter cleaning in Kankakee and Will County runs a couple hundred dollars a visit, and most homes here need it twice a year because of maples, oaks, and spring seed drop. Over a decade that is real money spent on the same job over and over.
A quality guard changes the math. Debris stays on top and blows off, water goes where it belongs, and the maintenance drops to an occasional rinse instead of a full clear out. It also takes the ice dam risk down in January, since a gutter that is not packed with wet leaves has somewhere to send the melt.
- Fewer service calls every year
- Less ice dam risk in winter
- No more overflow onto siding
- Foundation stays drier
- Keeps pests out of the gutter
- Water moves through downspouts
- Works with existing gutters

What Drives The Price
Why Gutter Guards Run $7 To $12 Per Foot
We price by the linear foot, and where your home lands in that range comes down to five things.
Guard Type
Screen and perforated aluminum sit at the low end. Professional grade micro mesh with a stainless screen and aluminum frame sits at the top, and it is what we recommend on homes under heavy tree cover.
Height & Access
A single story ranch prices lower than a two story with steep pitch, dormers, or landscaping that keeps ladders and lifts away from the wall.
Gutter Size & Condition
Standard five inch K style runs less than six inch oversized gutter. Sagging runs, pulled hangers, or separated seams get corrected before guards go on, which affects the total.
Cleaning First
Guards go on clean gutters. If the system is packed, the clear out and flush is part of the job, and heavily loaded gutters take longer.
Existing Guards
Old screens, foam inserts, or brush guards have to come out and get hauled off before the new system goes on.
Total Footage
Longer runs price better per foot. A short section of problem gutter costs more per foot than doing the whole house at once.
Real Numbers

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Gutter guards run $7 to $12 per linear foot installed in Kankakee County and Will County. Where your home lands depends on the guard type, the number of stories, gutter size and condition, whether the gutters need cleaning or repairs first, and whether old guards have to come off. A typical home carries 150 to 200 feet, which puts most whole house jobs between $1,050 and $2,400. Every quote is written before any work starts.
Because two homes with the same footage can take very different work. A single story ranch with clean five inch gutters is at the low end of the range. A two story with six inch oversized gutter, steep pitch, packed debris, and old screens to remove is at the top. Pricing by the foot after a measure keeps it honest in both directions.
They mean far less cleaning, not zero. Micro mesh keeps leaves, seeds, and shingle grit out of the trough, so the system keeps flowing. Fine debris can still collect on top of the guard under heavy tree cover, and that gets rinsed off during a normal exterior cleaning visit rather than requiring a full clear out.
We install professional grade guards rather than the foam inserts and plastic screens sold at big box stores. Micro mesh with a stainless screen on an aluminum frame is our usual recommendation in this area because of maple seeds and oak debris. Perforated aluminum screens are available where budget matters more than fine debris.
In most cases yes. Guards install onto your current five inch or six inch K style gutter, so you do not need new gutters to add them. If a run is rusted through, pulling away from the fascia, or pitched wrong, we tell you before installing anything, since putting guards over a failing gutter just hides the problem.
Yes, always. Guards go on a clean, flushed system. If your gutters are packed, that clear out is part of the job and shows on the quote. Installing over debris traps it permanently, which is the fastest way to make a guard system useless.
Yes. We install throughout Will County including Frankfort, New Lenox, Mokena, Monee, Peotone, Crete, and Beecher, along with Kankakee, Bourbonnais, Bradley, Manteno, Limestone, and St. Anne in Kankakee County. Same pricing structure across both counties.
Most single family homes are finished in a single day. Larger homes with multiple stories, long runs, or heavy debris removal can run into a second day. We tell you which one yours is when we quote it, not after we show up.
