Farmhouse ells. Stone-wall oaks. Pines by Arcadia.
Exeter homes carry a lot of roof and a lot of trees. Gutter guards keep that roof water moving to the downspouts, so you spend less time on a ladder and less time worrying about a wet basement.
Mr. Gutter installs Proflow and All Mesh Pro gutter guards on farmhouses, capes and colonials across Exeter, RI, from Route 2 and Route 102 to the woods near Arcadia. No guard goes on until every gutter and downspout on the property has been cleaned out and repaired where needed. Mr. Gutter is a third-generation business, owned by the same family since 1985, and Exeter estimates are free.

Exeter is a town of long roads and big lots. Along Route 102 and Route 2, older farmhouses sit near the road with fields behind them and lines of oaks and maples growing along the stone walls. Toward Yawgoo Valley and the Arcadia woods, newer capes and colonials were built right into the trees. Both kinds of homes end up with leaves in the gutters every fall, and the wooded ones add pine needles through the rest of the year.
A farmhouse that grew over the generations usually has several roofs: the main house, an ell, maybe a shed roof over the kitchen or a porch. Each one has its own gutter, and the short runs where roofs meet tend to clog first. Guards let all of those gutters keep draining between cleanings. Nobody enjoys moving a ladder around four sides of a rambling house, so needing fewer cleanings is a real gain.
Exeter homes can have Proflow, a heavy perforated aluminum cover that suits hardwood leaves, or All Mesh Pro, which Champion Gutter Products makes from a fine stainless steel mesh that stops pine needles and shingle grit. Either one can go on most gutters already hanging on an Exeter house. On every Exeter job, we clean out all the gutters and downspouts and fix sagging runs, loose hangers or leaky corners before the guards go on. Exeter homeowners end up spending around half of what a big national brand would charge.
Call (401) 274-3030Old field edges in Exeter are often lined with stone walls and the oaks and maples that grew up beside them. When those trees stand near the house, their leaves land on the roof in waves from October into late November.
On open lots, wind lifts dry leaves from the fields and woods and drops them against the house. Even a farmhouse with no tree overhead can find its gutters packed after a windy week in the fall.
Homes built in the woods near the Arcadia area and Yawgoo Valley sit under white pines that drop needles all year. Those needles weave into a mat that holds water in summer and freezes solid in winter.
Ells, additions and porch roofs leave short gutter runs and inside corners. Debris from two roof planes gathers in that corner, and a small gutter there overflows quickly. A guard keeps the corner draining.
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.
Start with the trees nearest the house. An Exeter farmhouse with fields around it and only hardwoods along the walls does well with Proflow, which sheds broad oak and maple leaves along with whatever blows in off the fields. If white pines stand anywhere near the roof, as they do on many lots toward Arcadia and Yawgoo Valley, All Mesh Pro is the better fit, since its fine stainless mesh stops needles and grit. If you go with the mesh in Exeter, it comes backed by the manufacturer's warranty and a no-clog money-back guarantee. We can go over the options with you by phone or from a few photos.
Some Exeter homeowners ask for leaf guards, gutter screens or gutter covers; they're all names for what we install. 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.
