Never Clean Your Gutters AgainGutter Guard Installation in Corydon, IA

Guards reduce maintenance, they do not end it

The honest version of the pitch is that a good guard turns a twice-yearly job into an occasional look. It does not turn it into nothing, and any company promising nothing is setting up a disappointment. Material still lands on top of a guard, and while most of it dries and blows off, some of it stays, particularly in a corner or under an overhanging branch. Grit still accumulates. A stray shingle tab or a tennis ball can sit on a mesh and divert water past it. None of that is a defect; it is a surface outdoors. The difference is what you have to do about it. Instead of a ladder, a scoop, and a bag, you are looking up from the ground a couple of times a year and checking that water is coming out of the downspouts during a rain rather than over the front edge. When something does need attention, it is on top of the gutter where it can be reached, rather than packed inside it.
