Never Clean Your Gutters AgainGutter Guard Installation in Colfax, IA

What a clog-free warranty actually promises

Almost every guard is sold with some version of a no-clog guarantee, and the wording varies enormously. Read for three things. First, what the remedy is: some warranties pay to come out and clean the gutter, some replace the product, and some refund a portion of the price, which are wildly different promises. Second, what voids it: nearly all of them exclude damage from ice, from falling limbs, and from anyone else working on the gutter afterwards. Third, whether it covers labour or only materials, because on a guard the material is the smaller half of the cost, and a materials-only warranty on a product that rarely breaks is close to worthless. Also check whether it transfers when the house sells, since a lifetime warranty tied to one owner is a shorter warranty than it sounds. None of this means the guarantees are dishonest. It means the document is the product as much as the metal is, and it deserves the same few minutes of attention.
