Most gutter jobs look fine from the driveway. You only find out what you really bought when the first heavy summer storm rolls through. That is why we put our work where you can study it. Use this gallery to compare, to ask questions, and to learn what a careful install looks like before you spend a dollar.
We have grouped the photos the way homeowners actually shop: seamless gutters, gutter guards, drainage, awning and box-gutter retrofits, and soffit and fascia. Under each one you will see what to look for and why it matters. If a photo raises a question about your own home, that is exactly the point. Browse all of our services here.
Custom gutters, formed on your driveway, hung to last. We run heavy 032 aluminum, not the thin 027 the cheap installers use. The 032 coil is roughly 50 percent more resistant to bending, and a properly hung run lasts twenty to thirty years or more. Look at the lines in these photos. They are straight, tight to the fascia, and pitched correctly so water moves instead of standing.
The part you cannot see from the street is the part that matters most: hidden hangers set every two feet. Florida code allows spacing up to about three feet. We set ours every two, which is why our gutters do not peel off the house when the rain comes down hard. See how seamless gutters are built.
This is what real leaf protection looks like installed. Our guards are 316L surgical stainless micro-mesh on a heavy aluminum frame. In these before-and-after shots you can see a gutter packed with oak leaves and pine needles, then the same run cleaned out and capped so debris sheds off the top and water drops straight through.
Look closely at the mesh. A good micro-mesh guard sits flat and tight, with no gaps at the seams and no flimsy plastic that warps in the Florida sun. We clean every gutter before we cap it, because installing guards over a dirty gutter just seals the mess inside. Pay attention to the edges and the corners in these photos. That is where cheap guards fail and where ours are finished right. Compare our guards to the big national brand.
Where the water actually goes. Gutters are only half the job. If the water dumps right at the base of the house, you trade a roof problem for a foundation problem. These photos show solid PVC drainage glued, sealed, and buried to carry water about five feet away from the house, where it belongs.
We also pulled in a failure photo on purpose. That cracked black corrugated pipe is what most installers bury, and it breaks at every bend and underground where you never see it, until pavers start washing out and the patio starts to sink. Solid PVC is drive-over tough and built to outlast the house. The difference is easy to see once you know to look. See our drainage and water mitigation work.
The job everybody else says cannot be done. Aluminum awning and box gutters on a lanai have a known design flaw. They clog, they overflow on the patio, and most companies tell the homeowner to live with it. We manufacture a retrofit so a guard finally sheds debris off the awning the way it should.
These photos show that work: the clogged box gutter before, the custom retrofit we form to fit it, and the finished awning shedding water clean. If a contractor has already told you your lanai gutter is unfixable, look at these and then call us. See the awning box-gutter retrofit page.
The work around the gutters, done to the same standard. Gutters hang true only when the fascia behind them is solid. These photos show soffit and fascia repair and replacement in aluminum, vinyl, and wood, including the wood soffit on Ocala’s older historic homes. Rotted fascia is one of the top reasons cheap gutters sag, so we fix the foundation first.
You will also see specialty work here: copper and half-round gutters for high-end and historic homes, oversized super gutters for screen enclosures, and steel box gutters on one and two story commercial buildings. If your project is the kind other companies pass on, this is the work to look at. Browse every service we offer.
Anyone can make a gutter look good on day one. The real test is how it looks years later. These photos are older Premium Leaf Guards installs, still straight, still tight to the house, still draining the way they did the day they went up. That is what 032 aluminum, hangers every two feet, and a licensed installer who over-engineers the job actually buy you.
When you pay once and the work holds, you are not calling someone back every few years to re-hang gutters that pulled loose. That is the whole point of doing it right the first time. Read what those homeowners say about the work years later.
You should not have to take anyone’s word for it, including ours. So here is how to read a gutter photo like an inspector would. First, look at the line of the gutter against the roof. It should be straight and tight, not wavy or pulling away. Second, look for the hangers and how close together they are. Far apart means it will sag. Third, check the seams and corners, because that is where leaks and clogs start. Fourth, follow the downspout. Where does the water go, and is it carried away from the house or just dumped at the slab?
The person who inspects your home is a state-licensed home and building inspector with more than 20 years in construction. The owner is on every job and does about half of each install personally, because the system is only as good as the installer. When you ask why something is built a certain way, you get a straight answer, not a script. See what neighbors say. Get your free estimate.
A gutter job photographs the same in the driveway whether it was done right or done cheap. The difference shows up the first hard summer storm, and the failure photos in this gallery are real. Here is what the wrong choice actually costs:
Thin 027 aluminum on hangers spaced too far apart pulls off the house in heavy rain. Now you are buying gutters again, plus repairing whatever the falling gutter damaged.
Black corrugated drain pipe breaks underground where you cannot see it, so the water you thought was handled washes out pavers and pools at the slab.
A guard that fills with algae is worse than no guard, especially when the warranty runs through a call center instead of the installer.
Central Florida gets around 52 inches of rain a year, with 6 to 8 inches a month in the wet season. That much fast water finds every shortcut a cheap install takes.
You are not paying more for a logo. You are paying for better materials, a tighter method, and a licensed owner standing on your roof. The photos in this gallery are the proof. Compare the guards themselves on our gutter guards page.
Picture your own house in this gallery a year from now. The next hard afternoon storm rolls in, the rain runs into gutters that stay put, sheds off the guards, and drains out five feet from the house where it belongs. No overflow over the front door. No water creeping toward the slab. No ladder for you, ever. You barely think about your gutters again, which is exactly the point. That is the work you are looking at on this page, and it is the work we will do on your home. See how the seamless gutters are built.
Yes. Every photo in this gallery is a real Premium Leaf Guards project on a real home in Ocala or Central Florida. We do not use stock images or other companies’ work. If you want to see a job near you, just ask when you call.
A quality micro-mesh guard sits flat and tight along the top of the gutter, low enough that it is barely visible from the ground. The before-and-after photos here show a clogged gutter first, then the same run cleaned and capped with 316L stainless mesh so debris sheds off the top and water drops straight through.
Yes. The gutter guard section pairs before and after shots so you can see the debris that was in the gutter and the finished, capped result. We always clean a gutter before installing guards, because capping a dirty gutter just traps the mess inside.
Look for a straight line tight to the fascia, hangers spaced close together, clean seams and corners, and a downspout that carries water away from the house. Wavy lines, wide-spaced hangers, and water dumped at the foundation are the signs of a cheap install.
Yes. We work across Marion, Lake, Sumter, Alachua, and Putnam counties, with Ocala and The Villages as our home base. Tell us your town when you call and we can point you to nearby examples.
Yes, and the awning retrofit photos prove it. Aluminum awning box gutters have a known design flaw, so we manufacture a retrofit that lets a guard finally shed debris. If another company told you it cannot be fixed, look at those photos and then call us.
Tell us what is going on with your gutters and a licensed inspector will give you a straight read and an all-in quote. No pressure, no upsell, no surprises on install day.
