Why Springfield Homeowners Are Ditching DIY for Micro-Mesh Guards
Clogged gutters aren’t just annoying—they’re a threat to your home’s foundation. In Springfield’s leafy neighborhoods like Rountree and Galloway, pine needles and oak blossoms turn gutters into ticking time bombs.
The Problem with Cheap Solutions
- Plastic Screens: Warp under Missouri’s summer heat (95°F+), letting debris slip through.
- Foam Inserts: Trap moisture, accelerating rust and ice dams.
- Reverse Curve: Fails in heavy Ozarks rain, causing overflow.
Why Micro-Mesh Guards Win
- 0.2mm Holes: Block pine needles, shingle grit, and even maple seeds.
- Sloped Design: Rain washes debris off, zero maintenance needed.
- Tested Locally: Installed on 500+ Springfield homes since 2020—0 clogs reported.
Cost Breakdown
- DIY Big-Box Guards: $1.50/ft (last 1–2 years).
- EZ Gutters’ Micro-Mesh: $3.50/ft (15-year warranty, free installation).
- ROI: Save $1,200+ in 5 years on cleaning and repairs.
