How Gutter Buddy® Works

At Danlee Company, gutter protection is our only business. We introduced the Gutter Buddy® system to Central Illinois nearly 30 years ago because, at the time, homeowners had very few options besides simple snap-in screens that didn’t keep debris out and often clogged quickly.

Why Gutter Buddy® Is Different

Gutter Buddy® is made from solid aluminum, designed so that:

No debris can enter from the front — including maple seeds, pine needles, oak debris, and other small particles that easily clog traditional gutter screens.
There are no gaps or openings that allow debris to rinse into the gutter, which is what causes most gutter clogs.
It installs under the roof shingle and works with both new and existing gutters.
It does NOT screw into the roof — unlike many gutter guards on the market today.
Each section overlaps and is secured with stainless steel screws, so it will never rust or detach from your home.

Long-Term Protection for Your Home

Because Gutter Buddy® seals off the gutter system:

Your gutters last longer.
Your fascia boards stay protected from rot.
You reduce the risk of ice buildup and ice damming, especially important in northern climates.
Many homeowners in Minnesota and Wisconsin install Gutter Buddy® specifically for winter protection.

When ice gets inside a clogged gutter, it expands — and that’s what causes gutters to bend, separate, or fall off homes in the spring. Gutter Buddy® prevents this by keeping the gutter completely sealed.

Installation: What to Expect

A typical installation takes 1–2 days, depending on the size of the home and any gutter repairs needed.

Before installing the cover, Danlee will:

Re-caulk leaking seams
Refurbish your existing gutters
Add new hangers if needed

Josh notes that most customers don’t need to purchase new gutters — the Gutter Buddy® system is designed to revive and protect the gutters you already have.
