We have seen and worked with many types of gutter guards in the past, but we have found one to stand out above the rest. We use Shur-Flo gutter guard, which is made from aluminum sheets, not plastic or a mesh within a frame. Shur-Flo mounts to the front lip of the gutter and the top of the fascia behind the gutter, creating a securely mounted shield against leaves, branches, pine needles, and anything else that may clog your gutters. Our guard will not blow away, crack, rust, or deteriorate through its entire lifespan. in addition to protecting your gutters from clogs, they can also strengthen your gutters against physical damage, heavy rain, or heavy falling debris. By screwing to both the gutter and the fascia board, it creates another connection to the house that will prevent it from coming detached or buckling in the future. It's recommended that gutters to be cleaned at least twice a year, but with a gutter guard installation, you'll find them paying themselves off in as little as two cleanings!
