Micro-Mesh Screens: Proven and Effective Gutter Protection
Oak and maple trees provide a picturesque backdrop for your wood shake roof, but their leaves make roof maintenance a nightmare for homeowners. Foliage might accumulate in your gutters, causing water to spill onto your siding and possibly seep into your home’s foundation. This makes frequent gutter cleaning necessary, but not all homeowners have the time for such a time-consuming chore.
Hiring someone to clean your gutters is always an option, but that wouldn’t be cost-effective in the long-run. Instead, most homeowners install gutter protection to keep foliage and other debris from entering and jamming their gutters.
But there are various types of gutter protection and even more brands. Safe Harbor Exteriors LLC, a top roofing contractor in the state, you install a micro-mesh gutter screen, like Gutterglove®. These screens have several advantages over other forms of gutter protection.
Blocks Debris Better
Foam gutter inserts and gutter brushes also block debris from entering your gutters, but smaller debris can pass right through their porous material and bristles. Micro-mesh gutter screens, on the other hand, have holes as small as 50 microns diameter that can even prevent something as small as shingle particles from passing through.
Proven Effectiveness
You might be tempted to choose a more interesting option like a reverse curve-surface tension gutter system. The idea behind them is that water sticks to the surface and can be guided to flow into the gutters. However, some homeowners have questioned their effectiveness. Debris can sometimes block the opening, causing water to spill onto your siding.
When it comes to keeping your gutters debris-free, mesh screens are the safe bet. And if you’ve decided to install a mesh screen, hire a reputable contractor to do it.

Reviews
We talked to multiple companies while deciding who to use for the exterior of our home. Safe Harbor was transparent, fast, and offered James Hardie siding compared to all the other companies only offering vinyl. Safe Harbor was much more affordable than many of the other companies, who just wanted as much money as possible. We are extremely happy with our siding, soffit, fascia, flashing, gutters, windows and the guarantee that comes with their work. If there was any more work to be performed, without a doubt, we would chose safe Harbor again.
Safe Harbor installed James Hardie siding, soffits, and gutters. The install was meticulous and our home was left cleaner than when the company showed up. The level of detail in the install was beyond expectation! We are so pleased with the quality of the work and the professionalism of the install team!
