How to Use This Calculator
- Enter total gutter length (ft) and select your gutter width (5" standard or 6" oversized).
- Select guard type (mesh screen, foam insert, brush insert, or micro-mesh) -- cost per linear foot is applied automatically based on the type chosen.
- Review guard linear footage, corner pieces, end caps, and total installed cost.
- Factor in reduced cleaning frequency -- quality micro-mesh guards typically last 20+ years.
