Contractor ROI:

• Eliminate 2-4 annual service calls per installation ($300-800 value)
• 40-year transferable warranty increases home value for clients
• Premium positioning justifies higher installation rates

When to Specify 316:

Coastal properties (Cannon Beach, Seaside, Lincoln City), high-end residential, commercial buildings, properties with pools/hot tubs, or any installation where maximum longevity justifies premium pricing.

Step 1: Roof Attachment

Slide rear edge under first course of shingles (minimum 2" penetration). Ensure mesh sits flat against roof deck without lifting shingles. Use caution to avoid roof warranty violations.

Step 2: Front Lip Fastening

Secure aluminum extrusion to gutter front lip using provided zip screws. Space screws 12-16" apart. Use magnetic driver bit (included in 100ft kit) for efficiency.

Step 3: Section Overlap

Overlap sections 1-2" to prevent debris entry at seams. Ensure water flows smoothly across transitions.

Installation Rate

Experienced contractors: 75-100 linear feet per hour (single installer). Two-person crew: 150-200 LF/hour. Factor in roof pitch, gutter height, and section cutting time.

Field Testing Location: Damascus, OR and Portland Metro installations monitored since 2018. Performance data collected from 200+ residential and commercial installations across Clackamas, Multnomah, and Washington counties.

Coverage: Material defects, mesh separation from frame, corrosion perforation, structural failure

Exclusions: Improper installation, roof damage, debris accumulation from lack of maintenance, acts of nature

Transferable: Warranty transfers to new homeowners—increases property value

What's the difference between small-hole and standard LeafBlaster mesh?

Small-hole mesh features tighter spacing (75+ micron filtration) vs standard mesh (150-275 microns). Small-hole blocks finer debris like shingle grit and pine needle fragments but requires more frequent surface cleaning (1-2x annually vs 0-1x for standard). Choose small-hole for heavy pine needle areas or clients demanding maximum filtration.

Does LeafBlaster Pro work with existing gutters?

Yes—compatible with 5K, 6K, Fascia, and 6 inch Half Round gutter systems. Gutters must be structurally sound, properly pitched (1/4 inch per 10ft), and securely fastened.

How much maintenance do LeafBlaster Pro guards require?

Small-hole mesh: 1-2 annual surface cleanings (blow off debris with leaf blower or hose). Standard mesh: 0-1 annual cleanings. Maintenance takes 5-10 minutes vs 2-4 hours for unprotected gutters. Instruct clients to check guards after major storms or heavy leaf drop.

Will guards void my client's roof warranty?

Depends on installation method and roof warranty terms. LeafBlaster Pro slides under shingles without fasteners—generally safe. Always verify with client's roofing contractor before installation. Document pre-existing roof condition with photos to protect against future warranty disputes.

What's included in the 100ft kit?

Box of 25 pieces (4ft each = 100ft total coverage), zip screws for front lip attachment, and magnetic driver bit. Does not include cutting tools or roof sealant. Order additional screws for sections requiring extra fastening (high wind areas, steep roof pitches).

Can I get contractor pricing or bulk discounts?

Yes—call (503) 496-7017 to discuss contractor accounts, volume pricing, and job-specific quotes. Damascus location offers will-call pickup for urgent project needs. Contractor accounts receive priority stock allocation during peak season (September-November).
