Gutter Guards That Prevent Clogged Gutters and Reduce Gutter Cleaning

Yes — when matched to the right debris type and gutter size. Brush-style guards like GutterBrush work by filling the gutter channel with a cylindrical bristle brush. Water flows directly through the brush into the gutter, while leaves, pine needles, and debris rest on top of the bristles and blow away between rain events. Unlike mesh or solid covers, the brush does not have a flat surface for debris to compact on.

Yes. Pine needles are one of the most common reasons homeowners contact us, and one of the problems GutterBrush handles particularly well. The bristles keep pine needles on top of the brush, where they dry out and blow away. Most flat or mesh-style guards allow pine needles to slip through and accumulate inside the gutter.

Yes. Some may stick initially, but they’re suspended with airflow/sunlight and break down over time. The key is they don’t consolidate into a clogging dam.

GutterBrush is made from UV-stabilized polypropylene that remains flexible in cold temperatures. Ice can form around the bristles during extended freeze events, but the brush itself does not trap standing water the way flat covers can. Many customers in cold climates specifically use GutterBrush to reduce ice dam conditions by keeping the gutter channel open and free-flowing.

Yes — and this is one of the biggest advantages of a brush-style guard. GutterBrush flexes around hidden hangers, spikes, and all standard hanger configurations without any modification. Mesh panels and solid covers often require hangers to be removed or replaced during installation.

No. Because GutterBrush fills the full channel of the gutter, there is no open cavity for a nest to be anchored inside the gutter. Most birds abandon the attempt. Open gutters, by comparison, are a very common nesting location.

Yes — that is exactly how it is designed to work. GutterBrush slides into the gutter channel, flexes around hangers, and can be cut to length with scissors. No tools, no drilling, no professional installer required. Most single-story homes can be completed in one hour or less.

In most environments, GutterBrush significantly reduces how often gutters need attention. Homeowners in light-debris areas often go years with minimal maintenance. In heavy-debris areas (especially pine), a quick annual pull-and-shake is usually enough. No guard is maintenance-free — GutterBrush is just the easiest to service.

Yes. GutterBrush fits inside the gutter, not on the roof, so the roof material does not affect installation or performance. Metal roofs often produce faster water runoff during heavy rain — GutterBrush handles high flow rates well because water flows directly down through the full width of the brush rather than being directed over a narrow slot.

GutterBrush fits gutters from 2.25" to 8" wide. We offer sizes for standard 4" and 5" residential gutters, 6" high-volume residential gutters, and 7"–8" commercial and pool cage gutters — including specialty applications that most competitors do not address.

Yes. GutterBrush is manufactured in the United States and has been family-owned and operated since 2004. We ship directly from our facility to homeowners, contractors, property managers, and government agencies nationwide.
