Clean Your Gutters Before Winter — Then Keep Them Clean With Gutter Guards

Fall is one of the best times to give your gutters some attention—especially before Colorado’s snow, ice, and freezing temperatures arrive.

Leaves, pine needles, roof grit, dirt, and other debris can build up in gutters throughout the year. Once winter arrives, that debris can restrict water flow and make it harder for melting snow to drain properly.

Our recommendation: clean your gutters before winter, then consider installing gutter guards to help keep them cleaner moving forward.

At GhostPrint, we can clean out your existing gutters, inspect them for obvious problem areas, and install the gutter guards you choose.

Why Clean the Gutters BEFORE Installing Guards?

Gutter guards are designed to keep new debris from entering your gutters—they aren’t meant to cover up what’s already inside.

Before installing guards, we recommend:

  • Removing leaves, pine needles, dirt, and roof debris

  • Clearing the downspouts

  • Checking that water can flow properly

  • Looking for loose or damaged gutter sections

  • Installing the guards over a clean gutter system

Think of it as starting winter with a clean slate.

Choose Your Level of Gutter Protection

You don’t necessarily need an expensive gutter-guard system. We’ve put together three different levels depending on your budget, surrounding trees, and how much debris your roof collects.

LEVEL 1 — Budget Protection

Amerimax Snap-In Gutter Guards

A simple screen-style option for homeowners who mainly want to keep larger leaves and debris out of their gutters. Amerimax’s snap-in guards are designed for standard K-style gutters and are a straightforward, economical option.

Good for: Homes looking for basic protection at the lowest material cost.

LEVEL 2 — Heavy-Duty Protection

LeafTek Gutter Guards

LeafTek uses rigid aluminum panels and is available for common 5-inch and 6-inch gutter systems. Its raised-ridge design is intended to move water through the guard while keeping larger debris above the gutter.

Shop Level 2 Gutter Guards on Amazon⁠

Good for: Homeowners wanting a sturdier upgrade from basic plastic or screen-style guards.

LEVEL 3 — Premium Micro-Mesh Protection

Raptor Stainless Steel Micro-Mesh Gutter Guards

For homes surrounded by trees—especially properties dealing with pine needles and finer debris—we like the idea of a stainless-steel micro-mesh system.

Raptor offers 5-inch and larger gutter options and uses stainless-steel micro-mesh designed to filter finer debris.

Shop Level 3 Premium Gutter Guards on Amazon⁠

Good for: Heavily wooded properties, pine needles, finer debris, and homeowners wanting a more substantial long-term gutter-protection system.

Not Sure Which Size You Need?

Don’t guess.

Gutters come in different sizes, and the right guard also depends on the roofline and how the gutter is mounted.

GhostPrint can measure your gutters first and tell you which size and approximately how many linear feet to order.

Once the guards arrive, we can:

Clean → Clear → Inspect → Install

That way, you’re not paying a large gutter-guard company to provide an entire proprietary system. You can purchase the materials yourself and hire GhostPrint for the work needed to get them installed properly.

Get Your Gutters Ready Before the Snow

If your gutters are already filling up with fall leaves, now is a great time to take care of them instead of discovering a clogged gutter after the first snowstorm.

Schedule a GhostPrint gutter cleaning, gutter-guard installation, or both.
