Why LeafGuard costs more than a gutter guard
LeafGuard is not an add on. It replaces your gutters with a one piece seamless gutter that has a hood built in. That is why it costs more than guards that clip onto your old gutters.
HomeGuide notes LeafGuard comes with a lifetime clog free guarantee and a paint finish guaranteed not to crack, chip or peel. It attaches to the fascia board, so any rot must be fixed first.
How to estimate your length
HomeGuide says gutter length on most homes is about one tenth of the square footage. A 2,000 square foot home often has about 200 feet.
Why this costs more in 2026
Aluminum, paint and labor cost more in 2026, and gutter crews carry more ladder and fall safety cost.
Diesel passed $6 a gallon on the AAA national average for the first time on September 11, 2026 (CBS 8 reporting AAA). Builders also paid 4.8 percent more for materials in a year (Roofing Contractor). Ask how long your quote is good for.
