Gutter Guards That Still Clog?
Screen, foam, or reverse-curve guards that pine needles and oak debris defeat, and the micro-mesh that actually holds.
Is This What You Are Seeing?
You paid for gutter guards so you would not have to do this anymore, and the gutters are clogging or overflowing anyway. Debris is sitting on top of the guards, woven through them, or sliding off the front edge in a hard rain.
A guard that does not work is worse than no guard, because you paid for it and you still have the problem, only now the debris is harder to get at. Most guards sold around here, screens, foam, and reverse-curve hoods, do not stand up to slash pine and oak, and homeowners find that out one rainy season too late.
Why It Happens
Screens and foam let fine debris in
Pine needles thread through screen openings and foam pores, then pack underneath. The guard hides the clog instead of preventing it.
Reverse-curve hoods overshoot
Reverse-curve and surface-tension hoods rely on water clinging to a curve. In a hard Florida downpour the water shoots past the curve and over the front, and oak debris collects in the nose.
Cheap guards warp and gap
Plastic and thin aluminum guards warp in the sun and pop loose, opening gaps that let everything back in.
What It Costs You to Wait
- Clogging and overflow you thought you had paid to end
- Debris trapped under the guard that is harder and costlier to clean out
- Warped or loose guards that look bad and let pests in
- Money spent on a guard that has to be removed and replaced
How We Fix It
We take off the guards that are not working, clean the gutters out properly, and fit fine stainless micro-mesh: ONE Gutter Guard or Lock N Mesh. Micro-mesh is the style that stops both pine needles and oak debris, because the openings are finer than a needle and the surface is too smooth for debris to mat on. It mounts flat and stays put in our storms. We will show you exactly why the old guards failed so you know the new ones are different.
- Stainless micro-mesh, the only style that stops pine needles
- ONE Gutter Guard and Lock N Mesh, lifetime material warranty
- No more climbing a ladder to scoop debris

Gutter Guards That Still Clog: Questions, Answered
I already paid for gutter guards. Why are they still clogging?
Because not all guards are built for Florida debris. Screens and foam let pine needles through, reverse-curve hoods overshoot in heavy rain and trap oak debris in the nose, and cheap guards warp and gap. If yours are clogging, they are almost certainly one of those types. Fine stainless micro-mesh is the style that actually keeps needles and oak out.
Are micro-mesh guards really different from the guards I already have?
Yes, and the difference is the opening size and the surface. Micro-mesh openings are finer than a pine needle is wide, so nothing organic gets in, and the mesh is smooth and pitched so debris dries and blows off instead of matting on top like it does on a flat screen. It is the only style we install, because it is the only one that holds up under slash pine and oak.
Do you offer free estimates?
Yes. Every estimate is free and no-pressure. We measure the job, recommend what actually fits your home, and give you an honest price in writing. The price we quote is the price you pay.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes, Rain Storm Solutions is licensed and insured. We are a family-owned local business, run by Chris and Jennifer Flanagan, with more than 20 years protecting Florida homes from rain and storm damage.
