The Story Of MossEaters:
A Gutter Protection Company Built Specifically for Puget Sound
We Tried Them All, But We Discovered MasterShield. Was Nearly Always The Best Gutter Guard For The Seattle Area.
Most of us at MossEaters have been elbow-deep in gutters and roofs across the Puget Sound for years. Over time, it became crystal clear: this region needed a gutter protection company that actually knew what it was doing. So, we built one—from the ground up. We had the experience, the drive, and the right crew to make it happen.
But there was one problem we couldn’t shake: we hadn’t found a gutter guard system we could truly stand behind. Plenty of them stopped clogs, sure—but they also let debris pile up right on top. It was a partial fix that left homeowners frustrated…and us unsatisfied.
After years of battling this same issue up and down the Pacific Northwest, we finally found the answer. It took a lot of experimenting, countless jobs, and a mountain of R&D—but when we discovered MasterShield, everything clicked.
Why do we trust it over everything else? Here’s what sets it apart:

What Were The Problems With
Other Gutter Guards,
like LeafGuard?
Like we’ve said—plenty of gutter guards can keep debris out of the gutter. That part’s easy. But most of them just shift the problem: now you’ve got a solid sheet of gunk on top of your gutters instead of inside them.
We saw it all the time—mounds of pine needles, soggy leaf sludge, moss growing like it paid rent. And the kicker? You still had to climb up there and clean it off if you wanted the system to work.
So yeah, technically the gutters weren’t clogged. But the guards were doing a terrible job of protecting anything.
That’s not good enough for us.
We set out to find a system that didn’t just look good on install day—it had to keep working year after year, without you having to babysit it. No regular scrubbing. No seasonal maintenance. Just clean, flowing gutters and a roofline that stays protected. Period.
What Was So Different About MasterShield?
MasterShield solves the one problem every other gutter guard seems to ignore: the shelf effect.
Most systems flatten out at the gutter line, creating the perfect spot for debris to collect and rot. Sure, the inside of your gutters stays clean—for a while—but now you’ve got a soggy, mossy ledge growing along your roofline. Not exactly a win.
MasterShield is different. It’s designed to follow the slope of your roof, so debris doesn’t stick—it slides right off and drops to the ground. No buildup. No babysitting. No climbing up a ladder to clean your gutter guards. Just clear gutters and a clean roofline, year-round.
And here’s the kicker: MasterShield’s micromesh is infused with copper. That means it naturally fights off algae, mold, and that nasty green fuzz we all know too well around here. No other system comes close.
No clogs. No growth. No maintenance. Just a gutter system that actually works in the Pacific Northwest.
Our Relationship With MasterShield
We built MossEaters because we weren’t willing to slap our name on anything that didn’t actually work. Around here, we’ve got a special kind of gutter nightmare—thick fir needles, moss, seed pods, and gritty roof runoff that chews through most systems in a single season.
So we did what roofing nerds do: we tested everything. We installed every major gutter guard brand we could get our hands on. Not in a lab—in real yards, on real homes, through real Northwest storms.
And every single one failed. Some faster than others, but none made it through a full season without gumming up, backing up, or turning into a moss farm.
Here’s the truth no one else wants to say: every gutter guard looks great the day it’s installed. The real test is 12 months later—after the storms, the pollen, the sap, and the needle bombs.
That’s why we trust MasterShield. It’s the only system that passed our torture tests and kept performing season after season. No gimmicks, no shortcuts—just a brilliantly designed, field-proven solution engineered by Alex Higginbotham himself.
It keeps pine, fir, roof grit, and moss out of your gutters. It works. Period.
