Kelowna Leaf and
Gutter Guards

With Kaycan ProGuard II or Alu-Rex DoublePro, cleaning frequency drops to every 2–3 years. However, annual inspections are recommended to check for shingle grit buildup or minor debris. Guards reduce but don’t eliminate maintenance—especially near pine trees. Gut R Dun offers maintenance packages to ensure optimal performance.

No. ProGuard II and Alu-Rex DoublePro are engineered for high drainage capacity—29.7 inches of water per hour. Their designs prevent overflow by directing water through precise perforations while blocking debris. Proper installation by Scout Gutters ensures seamless integration with existing roof angles, maintaining optimal flow during Kelowna’s intense rainstorms.

Kaycan’s ProGuard II uses a perforated aluminum surface to block leaves, pine needles, and debris while allowing water to flow freely—even during heavy rainfall. Alu-Rex’s DoublePro employs dual-layer microfiltration with offset holes, stopping fine debris like shingle grit and pollen without clogging. Both systems are engineered to handle BC’s coniferous foliage, with Alu-Rex offering a 25-year clog-free warranty and Kaycan ensuring compatibility with 5” and 6” gutters. Their designs prevent standing water, reducing mosquito breeding and ice dam risks.

Material warranties vary but they are typically 25 years or longer. Since 2008, we have only seen one material warranty claim.

Alu-Rex’s Winter-Shield Technology keeps snow and ice on the guard’s surface, allowing meltwater to drain freely. Paired with heated gutter cables, this prevents ice from forming inside gutters. Properly pitched guards also reduce standing water, a key contributor to ice dams. For older systems, upgrading to 5” seamless aluminum improves cold-weather performance

Alu-Rex’s Gutter Clean System clips onto existing 5” gutters without replacement. Its retrofit design uses a durable aluminum frame and microfiltration mesh, backed by a 25-year warranty. However, severely warped or corroded gutters may require full replacement for optimal guard performance

Very rarely. After many years in our industry we are confident in our estimated prices. We always try to look at all different angles to see what could happen. If we feel that there may be some surprises that we just don’t see, we will always give you bracket pricing, i.e. $1500-$1200.

We will never proceed with additional work if it’s not approved. If something jumps out at us that we didn't anticipate, we will stop and discuss the best options to move forward.
