Sacramento Gutter Guard completed this project in Lincoln in October 2026. The crew replaced a downspout on the single-story section of the home and installed LeafBlaster Pro gutter guards over about 20 feet of the second-story roof line.

Project overview

This homeowner came through our quote form asking about gutter repair. The job that came out of it was small and specific, covering two spots on one home.

It is a useful example of a partial guard job. The guards went on one section of about 20 feet, up on the second story.

The challenge

The request was for gutter repair, and the estimate came down to two places: replacing a downspout on the single-story section, and guards on a stretch of second-story roof line about 20 feet long. Second-story gutters are the hardest for a homeowner to reach and keep clean.

Our solution

We replaced the downspout on the single-story section.

On the second story, we installed LeafBlaster Pro gutter guards over a section of about 20 feet of the roof line.

The result

The single-story section has a new downspout, and about 20 feet of the second-story roof line now has guards.

About Lincoln

Lincoln is a city in Placer County, about 10 miles north of Roseville, with 49,757 residents at the 2020 census. It grew 282 percent between 2000 and 2010.

Many homes from that boom are now around 20 years old, close to the 20 to 25 years aluminum gutters usually last. Small repairs like this one can keep a system going while you decide what comes next.
