What Nevada City Homeowners Say
"Our 1880s Victorian on Broad Street needed gutter guards that honored its history. GutterFX installed copper micro-mesh that looks like it's been there for a century. The patina is developing beautifully and we haven't touched our gutters in two years."
"Steep hillside property made access difficult. Their crew handled it professionally with proper equipment and safety measures. Finally have gutter guards that manage our heavy pine needle debris without clogging."
"We get serious rain—8+ inches in a single storm sometimes. GutterFX installed heavy-duty guards on our 6-inch gutters. Last atmospheric river was the test—zero overflow, zero problems. Exactly what we needed."

Nevada City Gutter Guards FAQ
What gutter guards work best for Nevada City Victorian homes?
Copper micro-mesh gutter guards are ideal for Nevada City's Victorian homes. They develop beautiful patina that complements historic architecture, block pine needles completely, and last 50-100 years. For half-round gutters common on Victorians, we offer specially designed copper guards that maintain the traditional profile.
How much do gutter guards cost in Nevada City?
Micro-mesh gutter guard installation in Nevada City costs $18-28 per linear foot for aluminum, with most homes ranging $3,500-7,500 total. Copper guards for historic homes start at $40-60/linear foot. Costs are higher than valley areas due to steep hillside access, specialized products, and historic home requirements.
Do you work with Nevada City historic preservation requirements?
Yes, we specialize in preservation-compliant installations. We use period-appropriate materials (copper, painted steel), hidden fastening systems, and designs that satisfy historic commission requirements. We've completed dozens of installations in the Nevada City Historic District.
Can you install gutter guards on steep Nevada City hillside homes?
Yes. Many Nevada City properties have challenging hillside access. Our crews are experienced with extended ladders, scaffolding, and safety equipment for steep terrain. Hillside installations may add 10-20% to project costs but we ensure safe, quality work regardless of access challenges.
