Gutter Leaf Guards: The Smart Choice

If you've turned on your TV at any point in the last decade, you've probably seen those guys hawking their "amazing" gutter guards. You know the ones — a thin, flimsy micro-mesh stretched over a plastic frame that "simply slides into place." Their commercials are slick, their promises are bold, and their salesmen? Well, let's just say your local high school football team probably has more experience in gutter systems.

Here's the hard truth: the guys you see on TV are salesman-driven. Most of the time, the guy standing in your living room doesn't know the difference between a downspout and a down payment. Meanwhile, our network is owner/installer driven. Real people. Real experience. Real solutions. We believe that when you're investing in something that's supposed to protect your home, you deserve advice from someone who's actually installed (and maintained) hundreds, if not thousands, of real-world gutter systems — not someone reading a laminated flashcard between calls to "close the deal."

With that said, here are 4 reasons why you should choose your guards carefully!

Inferior Products, Inferior Results

Now, about those "amazing" guards you see advertised: not only is the micro-mesh so flimsy you could probably poke your finger through it, but the holes themselves are too small. How do we know? Just Google it. You'll find lawsuits, complaints, and horror stories from homeowners who paid four figures only to end up with clogged gutters and no warranty backup.

Oh, and that "frame" they brag about? It's plastic. Not exactly what you want protecting your home from the onslaught of rain, wind, and leaves. Even better, the mesh isn't mechanically fastened to the frame. One good storm (or a mildly angry squirrel) and your "system" is hanging off your roof like yesterday's laundry as shown in the picture above.

Of course, when this happens, the guys you see on TV are more than happy to "help" — for a fee. A four-digit fee, to be exact. Because remember: their warranty doesn't cover "acts of nature" or "system failure" (aka "everything that actually happens"). Oh, and don't even think about fixing it yourself or hiring a local handyman unless you want to "void" your totally imaginary warranty.

At Florida Rain Gutter, our installers carry a diverse selection of guards that are engineered for specific unique situations. When our experts arrive on site, they will evaluate your specific situation based on 4 unique metrics: home's location, debris type, tree's proximity to home, and potential hourly waterflow rate. Armed with this data, they will then be able to present you with options that will cater to not just your needs, but budget as well. Feel like just covering the basics for the best bang for your buck? They have you covered. Feeling like splurging a little? Ask our installers about our tried and true "SUPER GUARD" that's backed by our 20 year unconditional warranty that's good for as long as your roof is still standing.

Why Our Network is Different

We don't believe in a "one size fits all" approach. Because newsflash: no two homes, trees, or gutter systems are alike. Our experienced installers evaluate your surroundings in person — not from a sales pitch script. We take into account the type of debris you deal with, the pitch of your roof, the width of your gutters, and even that one stubborn oak tree your neighbor refuses to trim.

Our goal is simple, and two-fold:

(1) Provide you with a long-lasting solution at a truly affordable price.

(2) Respect your time by skipping the two-hour "dog and pony" show.

You won't find us sitting at your dining room table spinning tales of "limited-time" offers. And we certainly don't pull the "my supervisor just called and authorized a super-secret, last-minute, half-off deal" nonsense. (Seriously, who falls for that anymore?)

Instead, you'll get an honest recommendation, fair pricing that doesn't depend on whether you live in a mansion or a mobile home, and a product that works — plain and simple.

The Honest Pricing Philosophy

Let's talk about pricing for a second, because this is where things get really shady with the guys on TV. First, they throw a five-figure number at you. (Cue the dramatic gasp.) Then, magically, as the salesman "packs up" his stuff, he gets a "call from his manager" who "authorizes" a 50% discount — but only if you sign right now.

If you ever needed a flashing neon sign that says "RUN," that's it.

At our company, the price you get is the price everyone else gets based simply on materials and labor. We don't care if your home was on the cover of "Luxury Mansions Monthly" or if your neighbor’s dog still thinks your porch is a fire hydrant. Integrity matters. Honesty matters. And your trust is worth way more to us than squeezing a few extra bucks out of you with gimmicks.

Local and Family Owned

At Florida Rain Gutter you get locally-owned and family operated businesses as your installers. Not a corporate owned enterprise. No newly established companies, subcontractors, or fly by nighters. You deal directly with our installers and there are no middlemen. Our experts will be able to answer any question you ask and even the ones you don't. When dealing with Florida Rain Gutter you will get the personalized level of treatment you would come to expect from someone who considers you a neighbor and not just a number.

At the end of the day, protecting your home should not require a second mortgage, refinancing your car, or considering what the going rate for a healthy kidney is on the black market. Our products work. Our pricing is fair. And best of all, we stand behind our installations because we know what we're doing — and we're proud of it.
