Drop in gutter guard

Clips on to the front bead of the gutter. Installs in 3' lengths.

Vinyl Snap In Gutter Guard

Installs by snapping the 3' sections on to the front edge of the gutter. No screws necessary. some come with a plastic outer screen as well. This product never installs easily, usually looks bad and fails rather quickly.

Hinged gutter guard

The hinges clip to the front of the gutter. This type of leaf protection is very easy to remove in case any small debris gets past the screen.

Most of these other products we would not recommend either due to the price or due to failure. These are products that we have either installed or repaired in the past.

Other Products

Leaf Relief

Mounts directly to the gutter. No lifting shingles. Virtually undetectable from the ground. This is a decent gutter guard but the rubber strip on the back is kind of pointless and we have seen debris get behind it.

Leaf Shelter

Installs to the front of the gutter and under the first row of shingles. The problem with this product is that 1 - 2 years after installation the slits get filled with junk and the product stops working altogether.

Leaf Guard & K Guard

These are a one piece system that has a reverse curve on the top. The system is very hard to clean out when debris gets in the gutter. (the entire system must be unscrewed and taken off the fascia) Not recommended for winter use.

Gutter Helmet

This helmet is attached to the roof under the shingle with a big bracket. We do not recommend this as it could cause roofing issues and winter time blues.

Gutter Brush

This is an easy system for the do-it-yourselfer but does not work very well, once enough debris gets stuck to the brush its all over. Also its not very easy to clean.

Leaf filter

This systems works ok if its installed properly. There is a problem with their nylon filter deteriorating after about a year. Its to costly for what it actually is.

Gutter Cap

This system lets water in ok but also lets birds, bee's and debris in as well. The system is too expensive and hard to clean the gutters out if debris gets in. Also bad for winter unless buying their heated system.

Leaf Defier

Systems like this are known to cause mold and make the gutter overflow. Imagine if you had a half full glass of water and put a big sponge inside it, and then added more water.
