Your gutters have one job: move Florida rain off your roof and away from your foundation before it does any harm. When they sag, leak, clog, or pull off the house in a hard summer storm, that water goes where it wants. Premium Leaf Guards installs, guards, cleans, repairs, reseals, and re-levels gutters across Ocala and Central Florida, with heavier materials and tighter hangers than the cheap installers use. A licensed home and building inspector is on every job. Tell us what your gutters are doing and we will tell you what they actually need.

Ocala gets about 52 inches of rain a year, and most of it falls in fast, heavy afternoon storms from June through September. That kind of rain is exactly what overwhelms a cheap gutter. When the metal is thin and the hangers are spaced too far apart, the weight of fast-moving water and wet debris pulls the gutter loose from the fascia. You hear it before you see it: water sheeting over the edge, splashing the foundation, washing the sand out from between your pavers.
Here is what usually went wrong. The thin .027 aluminum most installers use flexes and dents. The hangers were set every three feet, the most code allows, so there is nothing holding the middle of the run. Downspouts clog because nothing keeps the leaves out. And the underground pipe, if there is one, is the black corrugated kind that breaks at every bend. None of that is your fault. You paid for gutters and you reasonably expected them to work.
You deserve gutters that hold up to a real Florida storm and an honest assessment of what yours need, not a sales pitch for parts you do not. That is the whole point of this page.
Whether you need a full new system or a single seam fixed before it drips over your front door, here is what we handle. Start with the service that fits your problem.
Custom-formed .032 aluminum gutters in 5, 6, 7, and 8 inch, cut to your roofline on site with no leaky middle seams.
Surgical 316L stainless micro-mesh guards on a heavy aluminum frame that keep oak leaves and pine needles out and carry a real no-clog warranty.
Hand-cleaning and flush-out for Ocala and The Villages homes, free with any guard install and available on a recurring schedule.
Sagging runs, leaks, and gutters pulling off the house, diagnosed by a licensed inspector who finds the real cause, not just the symptom.
Seams torched, scraped, wire-brushed to bare aluminum, and resealed the right way so they last ten to fifteen years, not a quick caulk smear.
Gutters holding water get re-pitched to the correct fall so they drain instead of breeding mosquitoes.
Not sure which one you need? That is what the free estimate is for.
Two gutter jobs can look identical from the street on day one and tell completely different stories five years later. The difference is the part you cannot see from the driveway: the gauge of the metal, how often it is fastened, what goes underground, and who actually held the tools. We over-engineer the parts that fail first, because paying once beats paying twice.
Premium Leaf Guards is owned and run by Jeff Ours, a state-licensed home and building inspector and court-recognized construction expert with more than twenty years in the trade. He is on every job and does about half of each install himself, because, as he puts it, the system is only as good as the installer.
That background changes what you get. An inspector knows where water actually goes wrong on a house, so he sizes the gutter, sets the pitch, and routes the drainage to protect the structure, not just to look finished. Everything is built to current codes and modern standards. And you get a straight answer, including when a smaller fix is the right call. “I like money, but I am not going to sell you something you do not need.” Read the full story
Call or text and describe the problem, or book a free estimate online. If the issue is not obvious, we offer a $100 diagnostic visit, and that fee is credited to the job if you hire us.
A licensed inspector checks the gutters, the pitch, the downspouts, and where the water goes. You get an honest assessment and an all-in price, with no pressure and no upsell.
We install or repair with heavier materials and tighter hangers, clean up the site, and back the work. We confirm the day before, and we actually answer the phone.
A failing gutter is rarely just a gutter problem for long. Water that pours over the edge in a Florida storm lands at the base of your house, and it goes looking for the path of least resistance: under the slab, into the soil that supports your foundation, against the soffit and fascia. Left alone, a $30 dripping seam can turn into rotted fascia, washed-out landscaping, a sinking patio, or a foundation issue that costs many times what the gutter ever would. The cheap install that pulls off the house in year three means you pay for the same gutters twice. Catching it early is almost always the cheaper decision, and we will tell you honestly whether it can wait.
Picture the next big storm. The rain comes down hard and fast, and your gutters just do their job. Water runs to the downspouts, through solid pipe, and out about five feet from the house. No sheeting over the edge, no splashing the windows, no climbing a ladder to dig out a clog. Your foundation stays dry, your pavers stay put, and you stop thinking about your gutters at all. That is the goal: a home that takes care of itself, built once, the right way.
We handle the full range: seamless gutter installation, micro-mesh leaf guards, gutter cleaning, repair, resealing, and re-leveling, plus underground drainage. One licensed crew does all of it, so you are not handed off between companies.
Almost always because the hangers are spaced too far apart and the aluminum is too thin. Fast Florida rain plus wet debris is heavy, and a gutter hung every three feet has nothing supporting the middle. We use heavier .032 aluminum and set hangers every two feet so the run holds.
Most homes do well with 6 inch gutters given how hard it rains here, but the right size depends on your roof area and pitch. We form 5, 6, 7, and 8 inch on site and size it to your roof, not to whatever is on the truck.
Both. If a repair, reseal, or re-level is the right call, we will tell you and do just that. We are not going to sell you a full replacement you do not need.
It depends on the length, size, material, and whether you add guards or drainage, so we price each job after we see it. Estimates are free. For unknown-issue calls we offer a $100 diagnostic that is credited to the job if you hire us.
Yes. We back our workmanship with a 2-year workmanship warranty, and our micro-mesh guards carry a lifetime no-clog product warranty that the owner honors personally. We will go over the exact terms with you before any work starts.
