I live in a place with a several trees surrounding the house. I have to get on the roof with the leaf blower once a week, ever week from mid September to mid November.

Am considering getting gutter guards, but am not convinced they work.

Any of you folks have them and have an opinion on them?

very expensive.........but customer satisfaction is relatively high.

People sleep better at night knowing someone is guarding their gutters.

I got the cheap plastic ones that do a fairly good job. Until May, I was in the same boat as you, God bless those tree guys, and I only go up there once a year.

I know there's newer more pricy ones, that may do a better job.

....and hide your booze. I've had these jokers fall right off the roof before.

You might want to take a look at the article in the link below. Be prepared to pay big $$ and make sure you get a guarantee. You still have to inspect, and then clean the gutter guards. Good luck.

There are some screens that clip to the gutter, and wedge under the shingles . . .

Yeah, Jetblasted hit it on the head. Those are the ones I have. Nothing special and can't be too expensive. Plastic strip that clips and slides under the shingle. Give that a try.

It really depends on the size of the leaves your having the problem with. I tried the plastic ones here but the California Pepper trees leaves are just too small for anything to work.

Ricka, if you wish to continue, how about taking it to e-mail, and let's let these other nice guys get back to cigars.

Sorry guys, this was a reply on another thread, and my computer burped and repeated here. Sorry, I'm a goober.

My company sells them and customers complain about icicles forming and dropping from them in the winter.
