Leafguard Gutters

What Leafguard Gutters does

Lindus Construction, doing business as Leafguard Gutters, is a privately-held residential home improvement contractor founded in 1980 and headquartered in Baldwin, Wisconsin, with field operations across the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area and western Wisconsin. The company is the exclusive certified installer of LeafGuard® Brand Gutters in the Twin Cities market, and the core product it delivers is a seamless, one-piece heavy-duty aluminum gutter system with an integrated hood that sheds leaves and debris while channeling rainwater, eliminating the need for add-on gutter covers. The system carries a no-clog guarantee and the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval, and is custom fabricated on-site to the exact dimensions of each home. Supporting services include gutter inspection, repair, fascia and soffit work, and storm damage restoration with insurance claim handling.

The business operates a direct-to-consumer model: field sales representatives conduct in-home estimates, supported by digital lead capture through the website, blog content, project galleries, customer testimonials, and limited-time promotional offers such as a current 75% off installation labor promotion. Pricing is quote-based, driven by linear footage, roof complexity, accessibility, and ancillary repairs. Revenue is generated one job at a time from individual homeowners, with the average ticket sized to a single residential gutter replacement project rather than a recurring contract.

Beyond gutters, Lindus Construction has expanded into adjacent exterior home improvement lines including asphalt and metal roofing, replacement windows, steel, vinyl, and engineered wood siding, decking, insulation, skylights, and storm damage repair, effectively positioning the company as a multi-trade residential exterior remodeler under the Lindus brand, with LeafGuard® as the flagship product. The company employs approximately 32 people and reports 150,000+ customers served over its 45+ year operating history. No revenue, funding, or ownership information is disclosed in the source material.

Direct peers

• ABC Seamless: National seamless home-exterior franchise offering seamless gutters, siding, and soffit/fascia installed by regional dealers — directly overlapping with Lindus Construction's seamless product line and multi-service exterior offering.
• HomeCraft Gutter Protection: Gutter guard installer operating a multi-state direct-to-consumer model with comparable product positioning to LeafGuard®, LeafFilter, and Gutter Helmet — overlapping customer base (clogged gutters, foundation protection) and overlapping sales motion (in-home estimates).
• Brothers That Just Do Gutters: National gutter-specialist franchise that installs, repairs, and replaces residential gutters and gutter guards using both proprietary and third-party systems. Directly comparable to Lindus Construction's gutter-focused service model, though it operates as a multi-territory franchise rather than a single exclusive territorial dealer.
• LeafFilter: National gutter protection brand and installer network selling micro-mesh gutter guard systems direct-to-consumer. Competes head-to-head with LeafGuard® on the same homeowner problem (clogged gutters), with a substantially larger national marketing footprint and broader geographic coverage than Lindus's MN/WI exclusivity.
• Gutter Helmet: One-piece reverse-curve gutter protection system distributed through a network of authorized dealers/installers. Closely analogous to LeafGuard® in product architecture and dealer-based go-to-market, making it the most structurally comparable competitor.
• K-Guard Leaf Free Gutter System: National leaf-free gutter system brand sold and installed through regional dealers, using a hooded design conceptually similar to LeafGuard®. Competes for the same exclusive-dealer model and same homeowner pain points in regional markets.

Regional players

• Window Nation: Regional multi-product home exterior company (windows, doors, roofing, siding) with direct-to-consumer in-home sales motion similar to Lindus Construction's parent platform. Comparable in cross-sell structure though centered on different Midwest/East Coast geographies.
• Cochran Exteriors: Indianapolis-based residential exterior remodeling contractor offering roofing, siding, windows, and gutters. Closely analogous regional home-exterior contractor model, although operating in a different Midwest geography rather than competing directly in MN/WI.

Broad incumbents

• Power Home Remodeling: Large multi-product exterior home remodeling company (windows, roofing, siding, gutters) operating a direct-sales, in-home-estimate model across many U.S. markets. Comparable to the broader Lindus Construction entity in cross-sell mechanics and direct-to-consumer GTM, though at substantially greater scale.
• LeafGuard (Englert Inc.): The national manufacturer of the LeafGuard® brand and parent of the exclusive-dealer network that includes Lindus Construction. Functions as the OEM/licensor and broader brand owner, with national marketing that Lindus benefits from at the local level.
