What Makes MasterShield® Gutter Guards a Different Class of Protection

MasterShield® Gutter Guards are engineered systems, not add-ons. They’re designed to control how water moves, not just block debris. The system uses CopperCare™ MicroMesh technology and smart design to keep gutters flowing during heavy rain while shedding leaves and roof debris before it becomes a problem. And with us in the picture, this is MasterShield® gutter guard installation done the right way.

Self-Cleaning Design

MasterShield® doesn’t rely on flat screens or gravity alone. This revolutionary system installs at a pitch that matches the roofline. That angle changes the momentum of the water flow and guides it straight into the gutter. Debris dries out and blows off naturally. That’s how true MasterShield® leaf protection keeps gutters moving season after season.

CopperCare™ MicroMesh Technology

The filter uses stainless steel micromesh woven with copper threads. Copper helps break down sticky roof oils and resists organic growth like moss and algae. This keeps the mesh flowing freely, preventing it from clogging over time. That’s a major reason MasterShield® outperforms standard mesh guards.

Long-Term Durability

MasterShield® handles steady water flow without backing up. The system doesn’t sit flat, which helps prevent rot and buildup along the roof edge. Manufactured in the USA from aluminum and stainless steel, it delivers premium performance while supporting long-term sustainability.

HydroVortex™ Technology

HydroVortex™ technology creates a siphoning force that pulls water into the gutter, preventing overshooting during heavy midwest rain.

Shingle Manufacturer Approved

MasterShield® is secured to, under or through the roof. Because of this roofing manufacturers have approved the installation of our guards to not void out your roof. Manufacturers like GAF®, Certainteed®, Owning Corning®, Malarkey®, and IKO®.

Frequently Asked Questions

MasterShield® installs on most gutter styles, including K-style, half-round, box, and internal systems. It works on many roof types, including asphalt shingles and wood shingles that haven’t been sealed with coatings. Certain roof materials may need extra considerations during inspection.

The copper-infused micromesh and pitched design make the difference. Copper helps control roof oils and organic growth, while the angled system directs water into the gutter instead of letting it skim past.

MasterShield® changes the forward motion of water rather than relying on gravity alone. That controlled flow lets water enter the gutter while leaves, needles, and debris stay out.

Pricing varies based on roof design, gutter condition, height, and layout. Every property handles water differently, which is why an on-site inspection matters. A free estimate helps determine the right setup and scope.

Yes. The system uses recycled aluminum and stainless steel and supports rainwater collection. Its filtration level allows cleaner water flow for reuse in landscaping or drainage systems.
