Call (843) 505-1389Gutter guards in Lady's Island face a different mix than guards on the mainland: small leathery oak leaves, long strands of Spanish moss, acorns, and salty air blowing in off the marsh. The guards A&A Island Services puts on are micro-mesh: a fine metal screen that covers the gutter, lets water through, and keeps debris on top where wind and rain can move it along.
Begin with the debris itself. Live oaks drop most of their old leaves within a few spring weeks, per Clemson's Home and Garden Information Center, and mature trees carry Spanish moss that tears loose in summer squalls. This Old House found micro-mesh the best guard it tested against pine needles, the hardest debris to stop, while standard screens were not fine enough and reverse-curve guards left an opening at the front. A mesh that holds back a needle also holds back broken oak leaves and acorns. This Old House also recommends stainless steel for most homes, a sensible pick where salt air reaches the eaves.
Moss behaves differently. It drapes across the top of a guard instead of falling in, so houses under the canopy at Cat Island or Royal Pines still need the mesh brushed off now and then. The same testers are blunt that even good micro-mesh is not maintenance-free.
Water volume matters as much as debris. NOAA's Atlas 14 estimates that a 10-year storm on Lady's Island can drop about 2.9 inches of rain in an hour. A guard has to pass that kind of cloudburst, which only works on gutters that are sized and pitched correctly to begin with.
Appearance is the final check. Most of Lady's Island is unincorporated county land, a few areas such as the Secession Golf Club cottages were annexed into the City of Beaufort, and neighborhoods like Coosaw Point have homeowners associations. Before guards go on, run the color and visibility past your HOA or ARB.
What You Get
A&A starts by cleaning and checking your gutters, because a guard over a sagging or leaking run only hides the problem. Loose hangers get tightened, bad seams get sealed, and downspouts get flushed. Then the micro-mesh goes on, secured run by run, including the short pieces over porches and dormers. Where an oak hangs directly over a run, we point out the spots that will want an occasional brushing. Read more about our gutter guard service. If your gutters are past saving, look at new gutter installation on Lady's Island first.

Reviews
Five-star Google reviews from people who have worked with A&A.
We had them install new gutters and gutter protectors around our house. We had many quotes and his was the most reasonable one. They came and did an outstanding job. They are kind, neat, clean and professional.
This is second year that A&A Island has cleaned out our gutters. They also installed gutter guards which fixed some drainage issues near foundation. They are very professional and do a great job! Highly recommend!
Andrey and his crew installed gutters on the side of my house. They were very professional. They also installed gutter guards and they work great. We had almost 8" of rain one evening and they kept the water well away from our house. I highly recommend them.
FAQ
Micro-mesh keeps moss out of the gutter itself, but moss tends to drape across the top of the guard rather than wash off. Under heavy canopy you will still want the mesh brushed clean from time to time. That is far less work than digging packed moss and oak leaves out of a clogged trough and downspout.
It depends on where you live. The island mixes unincorporated county land, a few pockets the City of Beaufort has absorbed, and subdivisions with their own homeowners associations. Check with your HOA or ARB before installation, especially if your community has standards for exterior colors or visible add-ons.
In a This Old House survey of 1,000 homeowners, professional gutter guard installation averaged $39.71 per linear foot nationally. Your price depends on total gutter length, roof height, and whether repairs are needed first. Call (843) 505-1389 and A&A will give you a free estimate over the phone.
