Zero Shingle Penetration

Roof Manufacturer Warranty Protection

Many franchise installers slide gutter guard flanges high under your asphalt shingles, breaking the manufacturer’s heat-seal bond and voiding your GAF, CertainTeed, or Owens Corning roof warranty.

The Gut-R-Dun Standard: Our technicians mount guards securely to the gutter lip and fascia board using self-tapping aluminum zip fasteners. We never penetrate, unseal, or stress your roofing shingles.

System Evaluation

Retrofit or Full Replacement?

If your existing 5" or 6" aluminum gutters are firmly pitched and in structurally sound condition, you do not need to buy new gutters. We re-level, re-seal, and install guards directly on your existing system.

Custom Seamless Extrusion: If gutters are crushed, rusted, or pulling off rotted fascia, we extrude custom seamless gutters on-site before installing guards. Explore our Dayton Gutter Installation Services.

Homeowner Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions on Dayton Gutter Guards

Straightforward, honest answers from local Dayton technicians who have installed guards on over 5,500 Ohio homes.

Yes, provided you choose the right system for your specific tree canopy. Our surgical 316 stainless steel micro-mesh handles over 150 inches of rainfall per hour while blocking tiny pine needles, roof grit, and helicopter maple seeds. For heavy oak and leaf-shedding areas, our solid surface-tension helmets direct leaves completely over the nose while drawing 100% of the water inside.

Not with Gut-R-Dun. Many franchise installers push guard flanges under your shingles, breaking the manufacturer sealant bond and voiding shingle warranties. We attach our systems directly to the gutter lip and fascia board without piercing or stressing the roofing shingles, keeping your manufacturer roof warranty 100% intact.

In roughly 75% of Dayton homes, existing 5" or 6" aluminum gutters are in good structural shape. Our team inspects your gutter pitch, reseals corners, reinforces hidden hangers, and retrofits the guard system directly. If your existing gutters are warped or leaking, we can extrude seamless replacements on-site before installing guards.

Gutter guards do not cause ice dams. Ice dams are caused by poor attic insulation and warm air escaping through the roof deck, melting snow that refreezes at the colder eaves. In fact, guards prevent leaves from creating water dams inside the gutter that turn into solid ice blocks during December freeze cycles.

Professional gutter guard installations in the Dayton area range from $7.50 to $18 per linear foot depending on whether you select perforated wave aluminum, solid helmets, or medical micro-mesh. Because we are an independent family-owned local business, our prices are typically 50% to 65% less than franchise outfits charging $30 to $45/ft.
