How to Choose the Right Gutter System to Block Out Autumn Leaves

As autumn arrives, at SHI, we understand the importance of choosing the right gutter system to maintain your home’s protection and appearance. In Southwest Colorado, pine needles account for 90% of gutter clogs, with leaves making up the remaining 10%. Standard gutter systems alone aren’t enough to prevent these blockages. That’s where Gutter Helmet comes in, offering a solution that outperforms other systems like screens or filters, which often get clogged.

Why Choose Gutter Helmet from SHI?

Our Gutter Helmet system is engineered specifically to tackle the unique challenge of pine needles, which are a persistent problem in this region. Unlike standard gutter guards, screens, or filters, Gutter Helmet is designed to prevent even the smallest debris, like pine needles, from entering and clogging your gutters. This ensures that water continues to flow freely, protecting your home’s foundation, siding, and roofline, especially during the leaf and needle-heavy autumn season.
