Gutter guards serving Chicago

Before you hire

  • Check the license. Look the company up on your state or city licensing board and confirm the license is active for this kind of work.
  • Ask for proof of insurance. Liability coverage, and workers’ compensation if a crew will be on site.
  • Get it in writing. A written estimate should list the scope, materials, labor, permits, cleanup and how changes are priced.
  • Compare more than one quote. Two or three written quotes for the same scope make it easier to spot gaps.
  • Ask who does the work. Find out whether the company’s own staff or a subcontractor will be on the job.
  • Confirm the warranty. Ask what parts and labor are covered, for how long, and get it in writing.

Frequently asked questions

Are cheap gutter guards any good

Basic screens stop leaves effectively but let smaller debris through (pine needles, seeds, shingle grit). For homes surrounded by deciduous trees with large leaves, budget screens work well. For pine trees or heavy debris, invest in mid-range or micro-mesh guards

Can I install gutter guards myself

Yes — snap-in screens and foam inserts are DIY-friendly. No tools required beyond a ladder. However, working on a ladder is the #1 cause of DIY injuries. If your gutters are on a 2+ story home, hire a professional
