Gutterglove is a Roseville, California-based gutter guard company, and it serves all 50 states. The company has been in business for 27 years, providing gutter guards and covers designed to keep leaves, sticks and other debris out of gutters, minimizing the amount of maintenance and time homeowners need to spend cleaning their gutters.

Gutterglove Pro guarantees that its products will fit any roof and gutter combination, and it provides installation through its DoneRight by Gutterglove partnership program. Customers simply call or fill out an online form to have a DoneRight partner contact them for an estimate.

Long-Term Durability

Gutterglove Pro gutter guards are made from durable material that should last for decades. The frames of the gutter guards are made from aluminum, while the mesh is made from high-grade stainless steel. Neither of these metals will rust when installed properly on a gutter system, nor will they warp or crack. They’re also flexible enough for easy installation as well as to move and adjust with settling homes, gutter weight and more.

Eco-Friendly Design

Gutterglove Pro gutter guards feature an aluminum frame and stainless steel mesh that are 100% recyclable, meaning they can be turned into another product once their service life ends.

Also, these gutter guards improve water quality for folks who collect rainwater. The Gutterglove Pro mesh hole size is 550 microns, whereas ANSI 63-2013 Standard for rainwater harvesting requires the hole size to be under 1,500 microns. This reduces the need for additional filtration and allows users to easily conserve water.

Long Warranty Terms

Due to Gutterglvoe Pro’s belief in its products, it offers a long warranty term that customers can rely on. While the labor isn’t covered, Gutterglove Pro provides a 40-year limited warranty on the products. If the product breaks, the mesh separates or excessive wear occurs within that time frame, Gutterglove Pro will replace the product. However, the cost of labor to remove and reinstall the guards is not covered outright. Be sure to speak to the DoneRight partner you work with to see if it offers its own labor warranty.

Also, it’s worth noting that this same material warranty doesn’t apply to coastal regions. These areas are only offered a 10-year warranty due to the salt content in the air.

50-State Availability

Gutterglove Pro is available in all 50 states, ensuring homeowners can find a retailer to handle their guard installation. The customer simply contacts Gutterglove Pro and requests an estimate. One of GutterGlove Pro’s DoneRight professionals will contact the homeowner and walk them through the estimate and installation process.

Gutterglove Pro gutter guards are a micro-mesh type guard. These guards sit over the top of the gutter and under the edge of the roof. As water washes debris, roofing grit, leaves and sticks down the roof, the debris collects on top of the gutter guard while the water is able to flow directly through the mesh.

But the debris doesn’t just collect on the mesh. The guards have V-Bend Technology, which is a term that Gutterglove Pro uses to describe the shape of the mesh. This bend prevents debris from sitting flush with the guard, allowing wind to blow the debris off the gutter.

The concept here is that the debris doesn’t make its way into the gutter itself, where it can collect and block water flow and cause ice dams and leaks. The micro-mesh is small enough to keep out the debris but large enough to allow the small particles that typically clog gutter guards to pass through, providing the best of both worlds and requiring very little maintenance from the homeowner.

As mentioned earlier, GutterGlove Pro offers a generous warranty. However, homeowners shouldn’t just get swept away by the length of the warranty; they need to understand how it works.

Gutterglove Pro’s 40-year warranty is a limited warranty. It only covers the materials or product, not the labor involved in installing it. That may fall on the DoneRight partner that handled the installation. However, should the product fail, break, crack or otherwise deform, Gutterglove Pro will replace the gutter guard. The cost of removing and replacing the piece will be on the homeowner to figure out.

It’s also important to note that coastal areas don’t receive the same 40-year term. Due to the salt content in the air, metals that don’t typically rust will readily corrode in these areas, so Gutterglove reduces the warranty term to 10 years.

• The 40-year warranty covers the product only.
• Labor errors are not covered in the warranty.
• The cost of replacing damaged guards is not covered.
• People in coastal regions get 10-year terms instead.

One of the best things about Gutterglove Pro is that it’s available in all 50 states as well as Washington, D.C. The chances are good that if a customer wants Gutterglove Pro guards, they can find someone in their area to install them.

Gutterglove has a program known as DoneRight by GutterGlove Pro which allows contractors to partner with the brand and learn how to install the brand’s products properly. When a customer in their area reaches out to the Gutterglove Pro company, they’ll forward the lead to the contractor for the estimate and installation process.

Gutterglove Pro will be installed by a professional. The company does offer an installation guide if you want to learn more before a pro comes to your home, but the following steps should highlight the need-to-know information.

1. Clear the gutters of any debris and build-up and make any repairs necessary to ensure you won’t need to service your gutters once the guards are installed.
2. Choose the right gutter size by measuring the width of the gutter. For gutters 5 inches and under, use Gutterglove Pro Standard. For gutters larger than 5 inches, use Gutterglove Pro Super.
3. Determine the slope of the roof. Mild slopes (between 1/12  and 6/12 pitch) don’t require modification. They can be installed to match the roof pitch. Steeper slopes require bending the gutter guard to be bent to 5 to 10 degrees, or a 1/12 to 2/12 pitch.
4. Cut the Gutterglove Pro guards to length or width using a circular saw, table saw or miter saw as needed.
5. To install the gutter guard under the shingle, carefully lift the front edge of the shingles and slide the guard under. Carefully screw the front edge of the gutter guards to the front of the gutters.
6. To install the gutter guard in the gutter, drive four screws per section into the back of the gutter to form a shelf for the gutter guard to rest on. Place the back of the gutter guard on these screws and screw the front edge onto the front of the gutter.

Gutterglove Pro gutter guards are relatively maintenance-free and much more maintenance-free than gutters on their own. However, Gutterglove Pro does point out that debris can sometimes build up on the screen and a gutter broom will help clear it away. Also, inside corners are typical places where build-up can form, and may require more frequent cleaning to promote water flow and prevent leaks or damage.

One of the downsides of Gutterglove Pro is that the company doesn’t offer pricing information online. Instead, customers reaching out for an estimate will be paired with a DoneRight partner, and that partner will provide the estimate based on its pricing, discounts and seasonal promotions. So, essentially, the partner determines the pricing, not Gutterglove Pro itself.

The question may still remain: Is Gutterglove Pro a good fit for you and your gutters?

There’s really no question that Gutterglove Pro offers a superior product, and almost anyone in the U.S. can find a contractor to install them. They do a great job and they’re built to last. However, whether it’s a good move or not may depend on the DoneRight partner. Pricing and specials vary from partner to partner, so it’s certainly worth reaching out to Gutterglove Pro and having a partner provide an estimate.

Should you choose to go with gutter guards, and the estimate works for your budget, Gutterglove Pro will work for decades to come and provide the gutter protection you’re looking for.
