I've been planning to have our gutters replaced for some time. They are not in the greatest shape (lots of slope problems), and collect a lot of leaves and pine needles because they only have screens protecting the gutters.
My plan has been to replace the existing units with some sort of solid gutter cover...
So, I got estimates from 3 sources. One of 'em got ruled out completely because the price was the highest of the 3 and the offer was "good right now only". I don't care what you're selling, I smell a sham or a sucker deal when the offer is "only good right now".
I realize that none of these systems is perfect, and some debris may get into the gutters anyway. I also realize that some water may come over the top of the system in hard rains, particularly in places where roof valleys meet the gutters. Even with these problems, I think the top cover is a better solution than me climbing a 25' ladder 3 or 4 times a year and reaching into a filthy, wet gutter to remove debris.
Anyway, what experiences have people had with Gutter Guard, Leafguard, Gutter Helmet, etc?
Thanks in advance..
