Work included
A cleaning removes the debris, checks the downspouts and leaves the area clean, with completion photos. A guard installation includes cleaning of the covered runs and the installed guard system. Gutter repair, replacement and unrelated drainage work are quoted separately.

What shapes the quote
Home size and height, roof and gutter access, the amount of buildup, the guard tier and the footage covered. Any minimum charge, preparation or access adjustment appears in the written quote.
A blocked gutter can send roof runoff onto the parts of your home it should flow past. Cleaning clears the route. The right guards help reduce the debris that causes repeat blockages.
1 · Fascia and roof edgesRepeated wetting can stain or deteriorate exposed wood along the roof edge. Keeping the water path clear helps reduce overflow against these surfaces.2 · Siding and landscape bedsWater spilling over the edge can splash against siding and wash mulch or soil out of the beds below.3 · Around your foundationConcentrated runoff beside the house can saturate the soil and contribute to basement or crawlspace moisture.
Keep water on the right path
Every part of the route has one job.
Cleaning restores that route. Guards help keep debris from blocking it again. Gutters, downspouts, discharge and grading work together. Guards do not repair damaged flashing, correct grading or solve unrelated drainage problems.
Every tier is installed by Iron Elk and includes pre-installation cleaning of the covered runs. The difference is the material and, at the top, the coverage behind it.

Pre-installation cleaning of the covered runs included
All prices are starting installed rates per foot and include pre-installation cleaning of the covered runs. Repairs, sealing, re-hanging, extra preparation and difficult access are listed beside the quote when they apply. Final footage and conditions are confirmed on site.
Larger leaves and twigs are screened by both materials. The difference shows up with needles, fine plant debris and roof granules, where the finer mesh openings generally filter more. Elk Complete uses the same mesh as Elk Mesh; the coverage does not change the openings.

Debris or care issue
Elk Screen (perforated aluminum)
Elk Mesh and Elk Complete (micro-mesh)
Larger leaves and twigs
Designed to screen larger material
Also screens larger material
Pine needles and fine plant debris
Depends more on opening size and debris shape
Finer openings generally provide better filtration
Fine roof granules
Some small particles may pass through
Retains more fine material, depending on the selected mesh
Pollen, dust and matted debris on top
Inspection and clearing may be needed
Surface brushing or rinsing may be needed
Guarded: surface debris rests on top of the mesh.Unguarded: debris collects inside the channel.
Upkeep
Less buildup inside. Care you can see.
Guards help reduce the debris that reaches the inside of the gutter.
Leaves, needles and pollen can still rest on the surface, so periodic checks and clearing still matter.
The right schedule depends on the product, the trees and the conditions around your home.
Any included first visit and the price of later care are stated in the written quote.

Frequently asked questions
Do I have to buy guards to get a cleaning?+
No. Gutter cleaning is a service on its own, with regular pricing from $199. Request a cleaning and you get a cleaning quote, not a guard sales visit.
How does the 15% gutter cleaning offer work?+
Save 15% on our regular gutter-cleaning price for bookings confirmed September 26 through October 31, 2026, inclusive (Eastern Time). Your cleaning can take place after October 31. Gutter cleaning only; guards and repairs excluded. Final scope, regular price and discount are confirmed in your written quote. A quote request does not confirm a booking. Mention this offer when requesting your quote.
Do I need to know my gutter footage?+
No. Footage is measured on site. Tell us the number of stories, how heavy the tree cover is and whether you want cleaning, guards or help deciding.
Can I choose any tier for the problem areas only?+
Yes. Tier and coverage are independent choices. Any tier can cover the problem areas or the whole house; gutters left uncovered still need cleaning and checks.
What is the difference between Elk Mesh and Elk Complete?+
The mesh is the same, so filtration is the same. Elk Complete adds Iron Elk’s limited lifetime warranty on the installed guard system, for as long as the original purchaser owns the home: materials, workmanship and a defined clog remedy, with covered parts and corrective labor included. It is nontransferable, and the full written terms are published on the warranty page. Read the full warranty terms ›
Do guards mean I never clean my gutters again?+
No. Guards reduce the debris that gets inside, but leaves, pollen and fine debris can still collect on top, so periodic checks and surface cleaning remain part of keeping water moving.
Are the prices on this page the final price?+
They are installed starting prices. The written quote confirms measured footage, any minimum charge, preparation, repairs and access conditions before any work is scheduled.
What would it cost for your home?
Tell us where the property is and whether you need cleaning, guards or help deciding. We will review the gutters and explain the options.
