Hope Street homes. Harbor wind. Cleaner gutters.
On Bristol's older homes, an overflowing gutter soaks clapboards and sills, and guards keep maple seeds and late oak leaves out so rain stays in the gutter and off the woodwork.
Mr. Gutter installs Proflow and All Mesh Pro gutter guards on houses and condos across Bristol, RI, from downtown and Poppasquash to Silver Creek, the Bristol Highlands and Mount Hope. Cleaning all gutters and downspouts, plus any repairs the system needs, is part of every installation. Estimates are free.

Downtown Bristol's houses date back to the 1700s and 1800s, and many still have their original clapboards, cornices and window trim. That woodwork has one main enemy: water spilling over the front of a clogged gutter. Streets around Hope Street and High Street are shaded by mature maples and oaks, so gutters fill with seeds in spring and leaves from October to late November. Every overflow sends water down the same stretch of wall.
Guards keep that cycle from starting. Leaves and seeds stay on top of the guard, rain drops through, and the gutter carries water to the downspout instead of over the edge. On a Bristol roof, the options are Proflow, which is a sturdy perforated aluminum cover, or the fine stainless steel mesh of Champion Gutter Products' All Mesh Pro. The mesh also catches shingle grit and pine needles, and it comes with the manufacturer's warranty and a no-clog money-back guarantee.
Out on Poppasquash and along the harbor, there are fewer big trees but more wind and salt air, and debris blows in from wherever it falls. In the Highlands, Silver Creek and Mount Hope, capes and ranches sit under yard trees. Whatever the neighborhood, the gutters and downspouts are all cleaned and repaired before a single guard goes on, and the total still comes to about half of a big national brand's price.

Call (401) 274-3030Bristol's older streets have plenty of mature maples. In spring they drop winged seeds in huge numbers, and the seeds sprout or rot in a wet gutter. That spring load surprises people who only clean in the fall.
Oaks around downtown and in the neighborhoods hold their leaves late. A gutter cleaned in mid-October can be full again by the first hard freeze, which is when a clog does the most damage.
Homes on Poppasquash and along the harbor face open water. Wind lifts leaves and grit off yards and streets and drops them on roofs that have no tree overhead, and it tests any guard that is not fastened down.
Older shingle roofs shed grit that settles into a gutter like sand. On small downtown lots, a ladder often has to stand on a sidewalk or a neighbor's driveway, which makes every cleaning more of a project than it should be.
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.
For capes and ranches under maples and oaks in the Highlands, Silver Creek or Mount Hope, Proflow's perforated aluminum cover handles the leaf load and is a dependable, practical choice. On an older downtown house with a gritty roof, or anywhere pine needles are in the mix, All Mesh Pro's fine stainless steel mesh keeps out the small stuff a perforated cover can let through. Waterfront homes on Poppasquash usually do best with mesh too, since stainless steel suits salt air. If protecting old trim is the main goal, the no-clog money-back guarantee on All Mesh Pro is worth having.

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.
