Don’t let yourself be hassled with the messy and stinky job of cleaning your gutters. With an effective gutter guard installation, maintaining your gutters will be easy-peasy. To know which ones to install, here is a guide on different roof gutter guards in the market with varying costs and efficiency.

Screen gutter leaf guard systems are perhaps the most common and cheapest type of gutter guards. They are relatively easy to install and most suitable for gutters suffering from major leaf fallouts. The downside though are the larger holes since seeds and pine needles can still bypass it. Gutter maintenance is still needed but is greatly reduced when compared to gutters with no gutter protection.
Surface tension gutter guard systems requires having the same slope as the roofing. Water clings to the rounded nose of the guard and flows into the gutter, while leaves and other debris fall off over the edge. It’s the easiest to clean with just a spray from the water hose. The most expensive to install but is very effective.
Fine mesh gutter guard installations function similarly as the screen types, however are a lot easier to clean and can filter the smallest seeds and pine needles. For a better performance, consider using the surgical stainless-steel material.
