MAINTENANCE

Those who don’t want gutter guards to show from below might want to consider the A-M 5-inch aluminum gutter guard.

It fits snugly inside the top of the gutter and is virtually invisible once installed, so it won’t detract from a roof’s good looks.

Rain-Resistance Rating (15%) Most gutter guards come in lengths ranging from 3 to 8 feet.

The length of each gutter must also be measured to determine the correct size as well as the number of gutter guards necessary to protect the entire gutter system.

Finally, to keep gutters looking as good as new, wash them down a couple of times a year with a damp cloth and either soapy water or a proprietary PVC cleaner. Regularly maintained they will add a touch of class to your eaves! PVC covers are an incredibly economical way to protect your gutter from clogging. Because these guards simply snap to fit on almost all styles of gutter, the products are easy for a DIY-er to use. However, with affordability comes a reduction in quality—PVC gutter covers do not last long, especially in harsher environments where branches or hail may easily cause damage. Foam Inserts Cast Iron: Premier Primed Standard Rainwater, Premier Primed Sand Cast Rainwater, Premier LCC Soil, Halifax Soil & Drain Systems Fittings OnlyFoam inserts offer another easy and affordable option for DIY-ers hoping to protect their gutters from debris. The foam is simple to install: homeowners cut the foam to the desired dimension and then insert the pieces into the gutter. The foam inserts are easy to replace in sections which makes regular cleaning and maintenance straightforward, but these products are not designed to last and disintegrate in a few short years. Mesh Screens Once installed, we liked how these gutters looked and performed. LeafTek guards aren’t visible from below, nor do they create any odd bulges under the shingles. And since they’re held together with so many screws, these guards aren’t going to easily shift, warp, or pop out.
