For most Bridgehampton properties, gutter guards make sense because of the heavy tree coverage throughout this area. Installing them during initial gutter installation is the most cost-effective approach.Guards prevent the clogging issues that force many homeowners to clean gutters multiple times per year. With the oak trees, maples, and pines common in this area, you’re dealing with leaves, needles, and small branches that can quickly block water flow.The key is choosing the right type of guard for your specific situation. Micro-mesh systems work well for most debris, while solid covers with slots handle heavy leaf loads better. We’ll recommend the best option based on the trees around your property.
