What is gutter guard, leaf protection, leaf guard?
These are technologies or tools that help keep your gutter clear of leaves or other debris. However, in my practice, the best option is to use gutter cleaning services at least once a season to keep your gutter clean and serviceable.
The main purpose behind all these terms is to limit or eliminate the need for routine maintenance and cleaning of rain gutters. Currently, there are literally hundreds of products on the marketplace which all claim to achieve the aforementioned goals. However, through our experience and time tested installations we have found a few products outperform the rest, but our favorite and best performing product has to be Alcoa’s Leaf Relief gutter protection. Unlike many other products, this gutter guard does not get installed under the roof shingles which can cause leaks and void the roof warranty, it is installed directly in the gutter and rests against the fascia. Furthermore, the water actually goes into the gutter. Click here to learn more.
