Why it matters here

Guards cut cleaning, but they don't end it, and they don't stop ice. In The Hill, look at what actually falls on your roof before you pick a type. We pass your request to an independent contractor, who advises, quotes and fits. We don't sell guards.

Trees and what lands in the gutter

Trees are smaller and fewer than in the park-side neighborhoods, though yard trees and vines still load up short runs. On a small roof, a single plugged outlet can overflow fast.

The houses in The Hill

Compact houses on closely set lots, mostly brick, with small porches and short eaves. The job here is usually simple in size and tight in access, with tall hedges, garden walls and neighbors close by.

What to look at first in The Hill

  • Check that downspouts don't aim at a neighbor's wall, since lots here are close together.
  • Look at short eaves, where a shallow overhang lets overflow reach the brick directly.
  • Check porch-roof gutters for loose fixings and clogged outlets.
  • Look for staining on brick below corners, which can mean a failed joint.

What to ask the contractor

  1. Which type, and why for my trees?Ask them to name your trees and explain how the product handles them.
  2. How does it fix to the roof edge?Under the shingles, on the drip edge or on the gutter lip? Ask if that affects your roof warranty.
  3. What's the upkeep?Get an honest answer about brushing and downspout checks.
  4. What about ice?Ask what happens at the eave in a freeze and thaw.

Guards in The Hill: questions

Which guard suits the trees in The Hill?

Small seeds and catkins favor fine mesh. If it's mostly big leaves, simpler types can work. Ask the contractor to name your trees and explain the choice. The guard guide covers each type.

Can you get guards fitted on an older The Hill home?

Often, but the gutter needs to be sound and pitched first, and old or slate roofs need care at the edge. Ask how the guard fixes and whether anything gets lifted.
