Elkhorn, Nebraska
Your gutter guards are made in your own town.
Elkhorn is the one place in the country where LeaFree® is manufactured and installed in the same community. The panels on your roof are made at GPI Gutter Products on 222nd Street, a few minutes from your driveway, then bent to your roof pitch on site by a local roofing crew. Nobody else in the metro can say their gutter guards traveled less than five miles to get installed.
LeaFree is made right here in Elkhorn.
What fills Elkhorn gutters?
Elkhorn grew fast on former farmland, so the picture splits two ways. The newer subdivisions west of 204th are ringed by young honey locust and maple street trees now, but they also sit next to old farmstead windbreaks of cottonwood and cedar that shed fluff and needles across property lines. Closer to the original village and the Elkhorn River, the big mature cottonwoods and silver maples drop the cottony seed and the whirligig helicopters that mat into mesh guards. A solid hood has no mesh to blind, so all of it slides off the edge instead of building up in the trough.
A lot of Elkhorn homes are newer construction with sound 5-inch and 6-inch gutters, which is exactly what LeaFree is built to cover: the hood installs over the gutters you already have, under your first row of shingles, with no screws into the roof or fascia. If you are building or just moved in, adding the hood now means you never start the leaf-scooping cycle in the first place. Because the plant is in town, a replacement panel or a warranty question never has to cross a state line to reach you.
Elkhorn gutter questions
Is LeaFree really made in Elkhorn?
Yes. LeaFree has been manufactured by GPI Gutter Products at 3636 N 222nd Street in Elkhorn since 2005. Rocket Roofing General Contractor is the certified LeaFree installer for the Omaha metro, so your panels are made and installed by two local teams in the same community.
Can I buy LeaFree straight from the Elkhorn plant?
GPI makes LeaFree but does not sell it directly to homeowners: it is installed through certified installers. In the Omaha metro that is Rocket Roofing General Contractor. You get a free quote from us, and we handle the measuring, custom bending, and install.
My Elkhorn house is new with newer gutters. Do I still need guards?
New gutters are the best time to add a hood. Your gutters are sound, so nothing needs replacing first, and LeaFree installs right over them. Adding it now means you skip the whole cycle of clogs, ladders, and rot that older homes are trying to escape.
