MasterShield Gets it Done!

🏡 MasterShield Case Study: Flawless Gutter Guard Installation on a Tile Roof in Seattle, WA

📍 Location:

Residential Home – Seattle, WA (Issaquah Foothills)

🏠 Home Type:

Custom Mediterranean-style home with a full clay tile roof and mature tree canopy

⚠️ The Problem:

The homeowner had invested in a beautiful tile roof for its longevity and classic look—but year after year, the gutters were filling up with pine needles, fir debris, and moss runoff from the surrounding tree cover.

Cleaning them was a hassle and a hazard. With the heavy tile roof, traditional ladder work became risky, and the homeowner was tired of hiring someone multiple times a year to do a job that never seemed to stay done.

To make things worse, most gutter protection companies told them “it can’t be done” because tile roofs are too fragile, too complicated, or “not worth the risk.” That didn’t sit well.

💡 The Solution:

Enter MossEaters.

We specialize in the tough jobs—and this one was a perfect fit for MasterShield, installed with precision on tile.

Our team conducted a full roof and gutter assessment, then crafted a tailored installation plan that:

• Respected the integrity of the tile roof (no cracked tiles, no lazy shortcuts)
• Matched the pitch of the roof to ensure debris would shed cleanly
• Maximized water capture at all valleys and roof transitions
• Used copper-infused micromesh to combat moss and organic buildup from nearby trees

🔧 Installation Details:

• Tile Spacing Adapters: We used specialized brackets and flashing to support the MasterShield system without disturbing the tile layout or compromising water flow.
• Custom Angle Matching: Each section of MasterShield was precision-cut and sloped to match the varying pitch of the multi-tiered rooflines.
• Non-Invasive Mounting: No roof penetration. All attachments were made at the fascia and gutter edge, preserving tile warranty and eliminating leak risk.
• Debris Flow Optimization: Key roof valleys were reinforced with extended micromesh runs and diverters to channel debris away from critical points.
• Copper-Infused Micromesh: Prevents the moss, algae, and black sludge that tile roofs are notorious for attracting in our Seattle climate.

✅ The Results:

• Gutters now flow freely, even after heavy storms and strong wind events
• Zero tile damage, zero leaks, and a fully intact roof warranty
• No more seasonal cleanings, no more climbing ladders, and no more clogged downspouts
• A clean, sharp install that blends perfectly with the home’s architectural style
• Homeowner satisfaction: 10/10
