Frequently Asked Questions
Are gutter guards worth the investment?
Gutter guards reduce (but don't eliminate) cleaning frequency. They're worth it if: you have many trees, your roof is high/dangerous to access, or you pay for professional cleaning 2+ times per year. Budget guards ($1-$3/ft) pay for themselves in 1-2 years. Premium guards ($8-$15/ft) take 5-10 years.
What is the best type of gutter guard?
Micro-mesh guards are the most effective, blocking even small debris like pine needles and shingle grit. Reverse-curve guards are good for leaves but can fail in heavy rain. Screen/mesh guards are the best value for most homes. Foam and brush inserts are least effective long-term.
