⚠️ Why Most Guards Fail at LOTP
Lake of the Pines' ponderosa pines drop needles year-round. Standard gutter guards can't handle this:
Screen Guards
Pine needles lodge in screen holes, creating clogs worse than no guards at all.
Perforated Guards
Holes are too large. Pine needles pass through easily and accumulate inside.
Micro-Mesh Guards
50-micron mesh is finer than needles. 100% blocking, guaranteed.

Lake of the Pines Gutter Guard FAQs
Why do regular gutter guards fail at Lake of the Pines?
Pine needles are thin enough to pass through standard screens and perforated guards. Only micro-mesh with openings smaller than needle diameter (2-3mm) provides true protection.
How much will I save with gutter guards?
LOTP homes typically need 3-4 cleanings/year at $175-350 each = $525-1,400/year. Micro-mesh guards pay for themselves in 3-5 years, then save you money for 20+ more years.
Do guards work with LOTP's heavy rainfall?
Yes! Our micro-mesh guards are tested to handle 22+ inches per hour — far exceeding any rainfall Lake of the Pines experiences. No overflow issues.
Can you install guards on existing gutters?
Usually yes! We inspect your gutters first. If they're in good condition, we install guards directly. If repairs are needed, we handle that too.
What about pine sap?
Micro-mesh prevents sap from entering gutters. Any sap on the guard surface washes off with rain or can be rinsed during annual inspection.
