White pines. Wooded hills. Gutters that keep flowing.
In Johnston, especially on the wooded west side, pine needles and oak leaves refill gutters almost as fast as you can clean them. Gutter guards keep that debris out and the rain moving.
Mr. Gutter installs gutter guards on Johnston homes from Thornton, Graniteville and Hughesdale to the wooded lots near Snake Den State Park. Johnston customers choose Proflow aluminum or All Mesh Pro stainless steel mesh, and the job covers a full gutter and downspout cleaning plus the repairs needed. Estimates are free.

Western Johnston has some of the most wooded residential land this close to Providence. Colonials and raised ranches sit among oaks, maples and white pines, and the pines are what make gutters hard to keep up with. Needles fall in every season, slide into the gutter and knit together into a mat that holds water and plugs the downspout. Owners out there often find that a spring cleaning lasts until summer, and a fall cleaning lasts until the next windy day.
That is the case for All Mesh Pro, the stainless steel mesh guard made by Champion Gutter Products. Its weave is tight enough to hold back needles, seeds and shingle grit while rain drops through, and Johnston owners get it with the manufacturer's warranty and a no-clog money-back guarantee. For eastern Johnston, where yards in Thornton and Graniteville tend to have hardwoods and few pines, Proflow is also a strong option. Its perforated aluminum cover is stout enough for the oak leaves that land on those roofs.
Every guard installation starts with a full hand cleaning of your gutters and downspouts, clogged elbows included, and the repairs the system needs to drain properly. Those come with the price, and Johnston homeowners pay close to half of what the big national brands charge. In most cases, the gutters already on your Johnston house can take a guard.

Call (401) 274-3030White pines shed needles all year, with a heavier drop in fall. Needles slip through coarse screens and tangle in downspout elbows. On fine stainless mesh, needles stay above the gutter, and most dry out and blow off.
Oaks are common on Johnston's wooded hills, and they hold their leaves late into November. On a sloped lot, the trees uphill can stand level with your roof, so leaves land on it easily. Guards keep that late drop out.
Wooded lots collect twigs, bark and small branches every time a storm moves through. In an open gutter they form a dam that traps leaves behind it. On a guarded gutter, most of it stays on top for occasional clearing.
Newer colonials in western Johnston tend to have long gutter runs, valleys and second-story eaves. More roof means more debris per downspout, and a two-story ladder on uneven ground makes each cleaning harder. Guards cut down those climbs.
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 there is a white pine anywhere near your roof, choose All Mesh Pro. Pine needles are the debris that beats most guards, and the fine stainless mesh is built to stop them, along with seeds and shingle grit. A no-clog money-back guarantee comes with it, too. If your lot is mostly oaks and maples, as on many streets in Thornton, Graniteville and Hughesdale, Proflow keeps the leaves out with a sturdy perforated aluminum cover. Homes with a mix of pines and hardwoods, common in the western part of town, do best with the mesh. Send us a few photos showing the roof and the nearest trees, and we will recommend one.

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.
