30-mesh has much smaller holes than standard guards (which typically use 18-20 mesh), blocking pine needles, fir needles, seed pods, and shingle grit that slip through larger mesh openings. It provides the finest protection available in the industry while maintaining excellent water flow through advanced wave pattern technology. If you have conifer trees nearby, 30-mesh is essential for truly maintenance-free gutters.

The wave pattern design and 30-mesh construction are specifically engineered to handle Oregon's heavy rainfall perfectly. The stainless steel mesh allows optimal water flow while blocking debris - tested and proven in extreme Pacific Northwest weather conditions including the wettest months of November through February. Many Damascus and Portland area customers report zero overflow issues even during record rainfall events.

LeafBlaster PRO includes a full 40-year manufacturer limited warranty covering materials, workmanship, and performance. The stainless steel construction is designed to outlast the warranty period with proper installation. This is double or triple the warranty period offered by aluminum mesh competitors (typically 20-25 years), demonstrating the superior quality and longevity of stainless steel construction.

Yes. LeafBlaster PRO prevents flammable debris (dry leaves, needles, twigs) from accumulating in gutters where it can ignite during wildfire ember attacks. The stainless steel mesh is non-combustible and acts as a fire-resistant barrier protecting your home's perimeter. This is especially critical for Oregon homes in wildfire-prone areas where clogged gutters filled with dry debris can act as a wick allowing fire to reach your roof and fascia boards. Some insurance companies offer premium reductions for homes with fire-resistant gutter protection.

Choose the size matching your existing gutters. 5 inch is standard residential for K-style gutters (the most common type in Oregon residential construction). 6 inch is for commercial applications or oversized residential gutters designed for heavy water flow. Both sizes feature identical 30-mesh stainless steel construction and the same professional 40-year warranty. If you're unsure of your gutter size, measure the width at the top opening or bring a photo to our Damascus location for identification.

Each LBP100 box provides 100 linear feet of coverage. A typical 2000 sq ft ranch-style home needs 150-180 linear feet (2 boxes). Larger two-story homes may require 200-250 linear feet (2-3 boxes). To calculate your exact needs, measure the perimeter of your roofline where gutters are installed. For complex rooflines with multiple peaks and valleys, we recommend adding 10% extra for cuts and waste. Visit our Damascus location for a free measurement consultation.

Yes! The 4-foot sections install using basic hand tools and the included detailed instructions. However, installation requires working on ladders at roof height, which poses fall risks. Many homeowners prefer hiring professional installers for safety, speed, and warranty considerations. We can recommend experienced local installers in the Damascus, Portland, and Gresham areas who specialize in LeafBlaster PRO installations and are familiar with Pacific Northwest building codes.

Professional gutter cleaning costs $150-300 per service in the Portland metro area, typically needed 2-4 times per year ($300-1200 annually). Over the 40-year warranty period, you save $12,000-48,000 in cleaning costs alone. Additionally, LeafBlaster PRO protects against expensive water damage including foundation damage ($5,000-15,000 to repair), basement flooding ($10,000-20,000), landscape erosion, and mold remediation ($2,000-10,000). The investment pays for itself within 2-3 years while protecting your home for decades. Plus, you eliminate the risk of ladder-related injuries that send 500,000 Americans to emergency rooms annually.
