The Nose-Forward design of Gutter Helmet’s aluminum panel is aligned flush with the existing gutter to prevent pine needles, leaves, and other debris from entering the gutter. This patented design then allows descending water from the roof to adhere to it through surface tension and seamlessly run into the gutter.
Gutter Helmet patented surface closely emulates the nature of a hill or mountain; landscaped with rocks, gravel, and vegetation to slow the flow of water. This unique pattern creates a rough-feeling texture that microchannels water molecules in a random direction, ultimately slowing the flow of water to prevent spill-over. In addition to Gutter Helmet’s textured pattern increasing rain-handling performance by nearly 60%, this pattern also enables the lightweight design of the panel to be extremely strong.
Our high-performance coating prevents any coating or chalking of the panel even when exposed to elements such as intense UV rays or acid rain. The special additives within the PermaLife Coating also helps resist dirt and organic material buildups on top of the panel allowing for optimal water control.
Gutter Helmet’s horizontal stiffening ribs have multiple functional purposes for protection of gutters for a lifetime. First, the structure of the rips actually reinforces the integrity of the panel which allows it to withstand heavy loads of snow and ice in the winter season. Second, the shape of the ribs contributes to the slowing of water in addition to the texture surface. Instead of the water beading, these extruded ribs allow the water to sheet while allowing debris to flush over them.
Gutter Helmet’s bracket system is unique to every single home based upon the layout of the existing gutter system. Brackets are installed every 2.5-5′ depending on the location of the home and its orientation to the sun throughout the year. Areas with heavy winter snow loads for example, may require a higher bracket count.
While leaves do not fall 12 months out of the year, it is important that your gutters maintain cleared all season. Demonstrated in this video is how the Gutter Helmet system works in all 4 seasons: defending leaves in the fall, channeling water in the springs and summer, and mitigating snow and ice in the winter season. Snow and ice mitigation systems integrated with the Gutter Helmet panel is done so with our patented Helmet Heat System that maintains significant heat beneath the panel and along the gutters and downspouts.

We have had the Gutter Helmet system on our gutters for many years now and this past summer the hailstorm did damage to the roof and gutters and we needed to get them replaced. Jack and his crew were very easy to work with and the installer was very helpful with my questions and installed them with no issues. If you still clean out your house gutters, I would recommend Gutter Helmet, you will be happy you did.
Did a great job of fixing, repairing and cleaning our our gutters and downspouts.
Great company and product strongly recommend
We had Gutter Helmet to our house today and they were very professional, courteous and thorough in their installation of heat tape and gutter protection. Very good job! Thanks!
Jack with Gutter Helmet was amazing when we reported hail damage that required new gutter helmets. We were having trouble getting our mortgage company to accept the documentation that was being provided and Jack hung in there providing us documents until they finally accepted what we were providing them. We love his product, his service is exemplary and we no longer have pine needles clogging up our gutters and drain spouts. Our grandkids love this product because they no longer have to clean our gutters and unclog our downspouts! This product is amazing!
We had Gutter Helmet come out to our church and they did an outstanding job of repairing our gutter system and adding the Gutter Helmet hardware to our building. They were on time and finished on schedule. I believe this system is the best for the Black Forest area and its pine needles. We normally would have to clean out the gutters at least 2 times per year, usually more. We now do not have to ask for younger volunteers to go up on the roof to clean the gutters. The Chapel has been here since the late 50s, and this is one of the best improvements we have made. We should have done it a long time ago. Thank you, Gutter Helmet.
Gutter helmet was a great firm to work with. I got the heated gutter helmets, heated valleys and new gutters. Jack was great to work with. The installers were efficient as well. Great investment for your home. My front porch mainly faces north and we have tons of ponderosa pines. My porch is no longer an ice skating rink lol. Thank you gutter helmet!
Gutter Helmet identified a problem after a hail storm. They coordinated all the repairs and insurance payments. They sent a second person to verify all the repair was done to their consistency high standards. They were patient while my insurance paid the claim. If they had questions, they would immediately call. Simply outstanding!
The Byerly family are independent business people and a pleasure to work with. Gutter Helmet itself is an excellent product and has worked well for us. Their installer, Ethan, was very conscientious about his work, cleanup after the installation and just an excellent person. Well done.
