River wind. Older gutters. A guard on top.
Gutter guards on a Somerset home keep maple seeds and oak leaves out of the gutters, so you stop cleaning them every spring and fall and stop finding rain spilling off the front edge.
Mr. Gutter puts Proflow aluminum and All Mesh Pro stainless mesh gutter guards on Somerset, MA homes in Somerset Village, Pottersville, near Brayton Point and everywhere between. We also empty the gutters and downspouts and fix them before any guard is fastened down. Call or send pictures for a free estimate.

Away from the river, much of Somerset is capes, ranches and split-levels on established lots, and the maples and oaks in those yards have had decades to grow over the roofs. They fill the gutters at both ends of the year: seeds and catkins in spring, leaves from October into late November. Skip one cleaning and the next heavy rain runs over the front edge, down the siding and into the ground beside the basement wall.
Many of those homes still have older gutters, too, and a guard is only as good as the gutter under it. A run that sags in the middle holds standing water, a seam that drips stains the fascia, and a downspout that dumps at the corner keeps the cellar damp no matter what sits on top. That is why we never cover up a problem. Wind coming across the Taunton River only adds stress to loose hangers.
When we install guards in Somerset, the job starts with cleaning every gutter and downspout and making whatever repairs the system needs, from resealing seams to rehanging loose sections. Sections too far gone to fix, we swap out for seamless aluminum. Only then does the guard go on: Proflow's sturdy perforated aluminum or the fine stainless steel mesh of All Mesh Pro, made by Champion Gutter Products.

Call (508) 399-7600In spring, maples drop their winged seeds and oaks shed long, stringy catkins at about the same time. Together they form a wet, fibrous layer in the gutter that slows the flow and plugs the downspout opening.
Somerset's maples turn and drop first, then the oaks follow well into November. With two waves of leaves, a single fall cleaning rarely catches everything, and whatever is left sits in the gutter until spring.
Older gutters with sagging sections or loose spikes create low spots where runoff and debris collect. Leaves settle in those dips first and rot into a sludge that is hard to scoop out. Fixing the pitch before adding a guard keeps that from happening.
Homes on the river side of town take storms across open water. Wind pushes leaves and twigs from nearby yards onto the roof and into the gutter on the sheltered side of the house, where they settle in a pile.
Both cost about half what the big national brands charge, and every installation includes cleaning your gutters and downspouts and any repairs needed.
Stainless steel mesh
A fine stainless steel mesh, made by Champion Gutter Products, that keeps out leaves, pine needles and shingle grit while rain passes straight through. Our pick for homes under pines.
Perforated aluminum
A sturdy aluminum gutter guard with rows of small openings. It covers the gutter, sheds leaves and keeps the big debris out, and it's built to stand up to New England snow and ice.
If your trees are mostly maples and oaks and your roof is in good shape, Proflow covers it well. Leaves and seed clusters stay out of the trough, and the aluminum is sturdy enough for a winter of snow coming off a cape roof. If the roof is older and the gutters are gritty with shingle granules, or there are pines or spruces near the house, go with All Mesh Pro: its stainless steel mesh catches the fine material larger holes let through, and the product is backed by the manufacturer's warranty and a no-clog money-back guarantee. Whichever you pick, we clean and repair the gutters underneath before it is fastened in place.
Gutter guards go by a lot of names, including leaf guards, gutter covers, gutter protection and gutter filters. Every installation includes cleaning your gutters and downspouts and any repairs the system needs, and our own crew does the work, never a subcontractor.

We recently had our entire house's gutter guards installed. The project was completed in a timely manner. Communication throughout the project was seamless, from scheduling to completion. Tech Edy and Nobel were onsite promptly and ensured that all debris was cleared before they departed. The job quality was exceptional!
Extremely fast to respond and complete work. I texted Josh on Monday, had an estimate within minutes. The men came out to install gutters with Champion Gutter guard around 10 on Wednesday and were done by 11. Professional, polite and excellent work.
We hired Mr Gutter to put gutter guard on our house. The product is fantastic. The company was receptive and easy to schedule with. We'd recommend their company to friends and family.
