If you’re tired of dragging out the ladder every season to clear your gutters, it might be time to consider gutter guards and accessories. At Golden Gutter Pros, we install and recommend solutions designed specifically for Central Texas homes. These upgrades keep your gutters running smoothly and can even add eco-friendly benefits.


Types of Gutter Guards

  • Mesh Guards: Fine screens that block leaves and twigs while allowing water through.
  • Foam Inserts: Lightweight and affordable—fit directly inside your gutters.
  • Brush Guards: Bristle-style inserts that stop large debris but allow airflow.


Best Choices for Austin Homes

Given the prevalence of oak leaves and pollen, mesh or micro-mesh guards tend to work best for our local climate. They handle heavy rainfall while keeping out the smaller debris common in Austin neighborhoods.


Accessories That Add Value

  • Rain Chains: A stylish alternative to downspouts—popular in Austin’s modern home designs.
  • Splash Blocks: Prevent erosion by dispersing water flow at the base of downspouts.
  • Rain Barrels: Pair with gutters to collect water for landscaping—an eco-friendly must in drought-prone Texas.


Why Upgrade?

Adding guards and accessories reduces maintenance, improves curb appeal, and can extend the life of your gutter system by years.


Golden Gutter Pros offers a variety of gutter guards and accessories tailored to Austin homes. Call us today for a consultation and discover the best fit for your property.
