Pine needles. Late oaks. One less fall chore.
Portsmouth's pines and late-dropping oaks can fill a gutter twice in one fall, and guards keep that debris out so storm rain off the bay and the Sakonnet reaches the downspouts.
Mr. Gutter installs Proflow aluminum and All Mesh Pro stainless mesh gutter guards on Portsmouth, RI homes, from Island Park and Common Fence Point to Melville and Bristol Ferry. Before any guard goes on, every gutter and downspout is cleared and repaired as needed. Estimates are free.

Inland Portsmouth is wooded, and its mix of trees is hard on gutters. White pines drop needles all year, heaviest in the fall, and the needles mat together into a dense layer that rain cannot get through. Oaks hold their leaves until late November. Maples throw seeds in spring. A homeowner who cleans in October often finds the gutters full again by Thanksgiving, with the downspout opening buried under needles.
Pine needles are the reason guard choice matters here. Needles slip through many coarse screens and perforated covers, then catch and build up. All Mesh Pro, a fine stainless steel mesh from Champion Gutter Products, is made to stop them, along with shingle grit, and it carries the manufacturer's warranty and a no-clog money-back guarantee. For homes under oaks and maples with few pines around, Proflow, a sturdy perforated aluminum cover, is a solid option.
Down along the water in Island Park and Common Fence Point, there are fewer trees but plenty of wind, and many homes began as small cottages with older gutters. Whichever part of town you are in, every installation includes cleaning all gutters and downspouts and repairing what the system needs first. Guards on a Portsmouth home cost about half of what the big national brands quote. Send photos or call (401) 274-3030 for a free estimate on your house; you will hear from us the same business day.
Call (401) 274-3030Pines on wooded lots shed needles through the year. Wet needles knit into a mat that sits in the gutter bottom and blocks the downspout opening. A fine mesh is the reliable way to keep them out.
Portsmouth oaks keep shedding leaves into late November, well after many people have done their fall cleaning. Without guards, the last load often stays in the gutter through winter, where it freezes and holds water at the roof edge.
Island Park and Common Fence Point have many small homes that started as summer cottages, often with older gutters and low eaves. Wind off the water drives leaves and grit into them, and loose hangers need fixing before any guard goes on.
Larger colonials in Portsmouth's newer neighborhoods often have roofs with several sections. Each valley washes needles and grit into a short stretch of gutter, which clogs long before the rest. Guards keep those corners from becoming dams.
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.
Under white pines, choose All Mesh Pro. Its fine stainless steel mesh stops needles that can work through a perforated cover, and the no-clog money-back guarantee covers you if it ever does not. Under mostly oaks and maples, Proflow's sturdy perforated aluminum cover keeps out broad leaves well and is a strong, simple option. Along the shore in Island Park or Common Fence Point, where the debris is a mix of grit and blown leaves and the houses take more wind, mesh is usually the better bet. We can usually tell which one fits from a few photos of your roof and trees.
Some Portsmouth 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.
