Let’s face it — gutters aren’t the most glamorous part of your home, but they are one of the most important. Especially here in Texas, where one good rainstorm can turn your yard into a moat. That’s where gutter guards come in — the unsung heroes of roofline defense.
So, are gutter guards really worth it? Let’s break down the top 5 questions Texans are asking right now.
1. How much do gutter guards cost in Texas?
Spoiler alert: it depends. But the average ranges between $3 to $8 per linear foot for professional installation. Sure, you can DIY — but you may want to read #4 first. 🤠
2. Do gutter guards actually work?
Yes — but they’re not magical. Gutter guards keep out most debris (looking at you, oak leaves and pine needles), meaning fewer clogs and less frequent cleanings. But they still need occasional TLC to stay effective.
3. What type should I get?
In Texas, micro-mesh and reverse-curve gutter guards are the crowd favorites. Why? They handle our sudden downpours like pros and don’t back down from stubborn debris.
4. Should I DIY or hire a pro?
We get it — YouTube makes everything look easy. But improper gutter guard installation can lead to water damage, voided roof warranties, and a not-so-fun weekend on a ladder. Trust us — a pro makes all the difference, especially one who’s licensed, insured, and knows Texas roofs like the back of their hand.

5. Can gutter guards affect my roof warranty?
Yes, if installed incorrectly. Some manufacturers void warranties if gutter systems interfere with shingles or flashing. That’s why it’s crucial to go with a company that knows what they’re doing — and carries the proper insurance, just in case.
