Our Gutter & Drainage Services

Premium Leaf Guards installs and protects gutter systems across Ocala and Central Florida: seamless gutters, micro-mesh leaf guards, underground drainage, soffit and fascia, and specialty and commercial gutters. Every job is run by a state-licensed home and building inspector who is on site and over-engineers the work to current code, so your home sheds water and you never climb a ladder again.

You want one honest expert who shows up, uses better material than the cheap installers, and protects the biggest thing you own. That is the whole job here. Whatever brought you to this page, a gutter pulling off the house, water pooling at the foundation, a clogged awning everyone says cannot be fixed, you are in the right place. Below is everything we do, why we build it the way we do, and the easy next step when you want a straight answer and a real price.

What Failing or Missing Gutters Really Cost You

Ocala gets about 52 inches of rain a year, and from June through September the afternoon storms drop six to eight inches a month in hard, fast bursts. That is exactly the rain that overwhelms an undersized or poorly hung gutter. When water cannot get off your roof and away from the house, it goes somewhere worse: down the wall, into the soffit, under the foundation, washing the sand out from between your pavers and sinking the patio.

The quiet damage is the expensive part. A cheap install looks fine on day one, then the hangers spaced too far apart let the gutter pull off the house in the first heavy storm, the corrugated drain pipe cracks underground where nobody can see it, and you pay twice. The honest math is simple: protect the water path once, with the right material, or repair water damage later for a lot more. We would rather you spend it once and never think about it again.

What We Do

Seamless Gutters

Custom-rolled on site from .032 aluminum, not the thin .027 the cheap guys run, and hung every two feet so they stay on the house. Five and six inch, in the color that matches your home.

Drainage & Water Mitigation

Solid PVC underground drainage, French drains, curtain and perimeter drains, catch basins, and dry wells that carry the water about five feet past your foundation, instead of the black corrugated pipe that breaks everywhere it bends.

Pricing

Most gutter companies sell you the same picture. The difference is in the parts you never see: the thickness of the metal, how often it is fastened, what the drain pipe is made of, and who is actually holding the tools. We over-engineer all four. Here is the honest side-by-side, and then the easy next step.

Who Stands Behind the Work

Premium Leaf Guards is 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 the install himself, because, in his words, the system is only as good as the installer.

That is the whole reason this company exists. Jeff got tired of seeing thin metal, stretched hangers, and corrugated pipe sold as a finished job. So he built a company that over-engineers everything to current code and tells you the truth, even when the truth is that you need less than you thought. He answers the phone, and he stands behind the work in person. Read the full story

We size it right and price it all-in.

You get an honest recommendation, the right material, and one clear number. No upsell, no pressure, no surprise add-ons.

The owner is on the job, the work is done to current code, and the warranty is honored by the people who did the work.

We serve Ocala and The Villages and the surrounding Central Florida counties: Marion, Lake, Sumter, Alachua, and Putnam. From historic Ocala homes with wood soffit and fascia to 55-and-over communities and HOA neighborhoods, we know the rooflines, the rain, and the local code. See your town and what we do there.

Who We Serve

If you are a homeowner who wants a maintenance-free home and will not climb a ladder, this is for you. If you have a real water problem, a sinking patio, a foundation taking on water, a doorway that drips, and you want it fixed right the first time, this is for you. And if you own a one or two story building, a lanai awning, or a pole barn that needs box gutters or a custom retrofit, we do that too. One licensed expert, one honest answer, whatever you own.

Frequently Asked Questions

We install seamless gutters and micro-mesh gutter guards, clean and repair existing gutters, reseal and re-level runs, and build underground drainage, French drains, and catch basins. We also handle soffit and fascia, specialty and commercial gutters, and seasonal Christmas light installation across Ocala and Central Florida.

Yes, if the guard is the right material. Our 316L surgical stainless micro-mesh sheds the oak leaves and pine needles that bury Central Florida gutters, and it does not clog with algae the way cheaper screens and some national brands do. It is backed by a no-clog warranty we honor ourselves.

Almost always because the hangers are spaced too far apart and the metal is too thin. Florida code allows hangers up to about three feet apart; we set ours every two feet on .032 aluminum, so a full gutter in a hard storm stays put.

Both. Gutters only move water to the ground; drainage moves it away from your foundation. We install solid PVC underground drainage, French drains, curtain and perimeter drains, catch basins, and dry wells to carry water about five feet past the house, instead of the corrugated pipe that breaks underground.

It depends on the size of the home and the work, so we price each job all-in after we see it, with no upsell. Most quotes are free; for a tricky unknown issue, a $100 diagnostic brings the licensed inspector out to find the real cause, and it is credited to the job if you hire us.

Usually, yes. Plenty of companies call awning and box gutters unfixable, but retrofitting them is one of our specialties. Send a photo or book the diagnostic and we will tell you honestly whether it can be saved or replaced.

The owner, a state-licensed home and building inspector, is on every job and does about half the install himself. You are not handed off to a subcontractor or a commission salesperson.

Get it done right, once.

When you are ready, tell us what is going on and we will get you the right fix, with better material than the cheap installers and more honesty than the national brand. No pressure, no upsell, just a straight answer and a real price.
