Frequently Asked Questions
Do gutter guards work on Florida homes with pine trees?
Micro-mesh gutter guards (like LeafFilter and HomeCraft) are the only type that consistently blocks pine needles — the most common gutter clogging debris in Florida. Surface tension guards and standard screen guards do not block pine needles effectively. Even with micro-mesh, occasional cleaning may be needed in areas with heavy pine shedding.
