Say Goodbye to Clogged Gutters—For Good

Protect Your Home with Sorensen’s Leaf-Free Gutter Guard System

Functioning gutters are imperative to the health and longevity of your home. We have a variety of options to fit all of your water management needs.

Gutter guards are designed to fully enclose your gutters, helping to keep out debris while directing rainwater safely away from the home. When properly installed, they reduce the risk of clogs and water damage by channeling runoff into downspouts placed strategically along the roofline.

There are two common types:

insert-based guards
custom-molded systems.

Insert guards are typically added to existing gutters and marketed as a lower-cost option. In contrast, custom-molded systems—like those built by manufacturers such as K-Guard—are designed as integrated, seamless solutions. These systems typically feature a hood and trough supported by durable, weather-resistant hangers to maintain structural integrity and prevent separation over time.

While insert-based guards may seem economical upfront, they come with limitations. Some allow debris to enter from the roof-facing side, especially if the insert doesn’t fully seal the gutter. In other cases, water can overshoot the gutter altogether during heavy rainfall, leading to overflows near the foundation, attic leaks, or erosion near entry points.

Homeowners considering gutter guards should evaluate both performance and longevity. Custom-molded solutions may require full system replacement but often provide superior, consistent protection compared to retrofit inserts.

Gutter screens, often called filters, use perforated material with small openings to allow water in while attempting to block debris.

While they’re designed to prevent clogs, small fragments—like pine needles, seed pods, and dust—can still pass through. Manufacturers suggest these particles wash into the downspouts without issue, but that’s not always the case.

Most screens are sold as snap-in panels at hardware stores. But they come with challenges. Measuring must be precise, or multiple trips may be needed. Many models don’t fit older or custom gutters. And because these are typically DIY installations, the risk of poor fit or gaps increases.

If not tightly secured, screens can shift during storms, allowing leaves and buildup into the gutter channel—or worse, blow off entirely.

One of the biggest misconceptions? That screens are maintenance-free. In reality, they require regular cleaning to stay functional. Homeowners often find themselves back on a ladder—defeating the purpose of installing protection in the first place.

Gutter covers use a curved design to move rainwater into the gutter while directing leaves and debris away. Unlike flat guards or screens, covers rely on a reverse-curve surface that encourages water adhesion, guiding it down while debris slides off the edge.

Some models add a textured finish to slow the water flow and improve capture, especially during light rain.

While this approach can be effective in the right conditions, performance issues have been reported.
Debris can accumulate on or behind the curve, especially in areas with heavy leaf fall, leading to clogs and overflow.

Durability is another concern. Many gutter covers can be easily dented or dislodged by ladders during routine maintenance. And because many systems tuck under shingles, there’s a risk of voiding your roof warranty—something homeowners should confirm with their roofing provider before installation.

In short, gutter covers aim to solve water flow problems with engineered shaping, but their effectiveness depends heavily on proper fit, ongoing care, and installation technique. Like any solution, it’s important to weigh the benefits against the long-term maintenance and potential risks to your roof system.
