Gutter protectors
Has anyone had any experience with gutter protectors to help keep the leaves
out? I am building and thinking about putting in gutters with covers but the one system I have looked at (LeafGuard) is about 12 bucks per foot of gutter and downspout. Yikes! My two story, 2600 sf house gutter budget went from around 1200 clams to over 2300. It only cost 60-70 bucks to pay a guy to come out and clean them. Can't seem to justify the extra expense. Anyone had any experience with these products and able to recommend one that is reasonably priced and works? Thanks skeeter |

Try Lowe's....I installed my "screens" three years ago and haven't done anything to them since. They work!! They come in a box of 25...each screen about 36" wide and are a snap to install in your gutters. |

You may get better responses on alt.home.repair Consensus is that they don't work anywhere near as good as they should and are very expensive. Ed |

I had leaves, too, [and ice dams] til I pulled them off about 6 years ago. A simple diverter over each doorway, and some crushed stone around the foundation does the trick. JG |

They work fine, but the brand we got didn't conform to the end of the gutter very well. This year the birds got under the end and built nets in the gutters. The same thing happened to our neighbor's and he had a different brand. Fortunately, the company that put his in had a no-clog guarantee and they came out, cleaned out the gutters and corrected the problem on the end. The people that did ours was out of business. So, if you do get them, try to go with a company that has a guarantee and who has been in business for a long time. |
