Gutter Guard Installation in Arab, AL
Arab's beautiful hardwood forests are great for shade and scenery — but brutal on gutters. Oak leaves, pine needles, and debris pile up fast, clogging gutters and creating drainage problems. On hillside lots, clogged gutters are especially dangerous — overflow water concentrates and accelerates toward your foundation. Gutter guards end that cycle permanently.

Yes — quality guards dramatically reduce debris buildup even in heavily wooded mountain areas. Micro-mesh guards block pine needles that slip through standard screens. Some occasional maintenance may still be needed (brushing off surface debris), but frequency drops from 3-4 times yearly to once every few years.
For Arab's mix of hardwoods and pines, we recommend micro-mesh guards with stainless steel screen (around 50 microns). They block everything — even tiny pine needles and roof grit — while allowing high water flow rates. Critical for steep mountain roofs where water hits fast.
Yes, if your gutters are in decent shape. Guards retrofit onto existing systems. If your gutters need replacement, we can do everything at once — often the most cost-effective approach for older Arab homes.
Not when properly installed. We attach guards to the gutter, not under roof shingles. No roof warranty issues.
