Gutters installed with gutter guards or screens will need to be cleaned less frequently.

Answer: True
Explanation: This is True. While many basic screens still require occasional cleaning, our premium Aluminum-Backed Micro-Mesh Gutter Guards are guaranteed to be maintenance-free for life. They are engineered to block all debris, including pine needles and shingle grit, while allowing maximum water flow. This means you eliminate the need for future cleanings entirely. Our guards come with a Lifetime, Transferable Warranty to ensure your peace of mind and long-term, low-maintenance home protection.

Answer: False
Explanation: There is still a lot of debris that caught in the mesh that interferes with the drainage.

Answer: True
Explanation: Gutter guards and screens help keep leaves, twigs, and other debris out of your gutters, which significantly reduces how often they need to be cleaned. While they don’t eliminate the need for maintenance entirely, they do prevent clogs and water overflow caused by debris buildup. This means fewer cleanings, less risk of water damage, and better protection for your home year-round. At Sacramento Gutter Guard, we install high-quality guard systems designed to maximize these benefits.

Answer: True
Explanation: Gutter guards that are installed properly should never have to be cleaned.

Answer: True
Explanation: Gutters with guards or screens require cleaning less often because the covers block most leaves, twigs, and debris from entering, reducing clogs. While they aren’t maintenance-free, gutter guards significantly minimize the buildup of debris, allowing water to flow more easily and decreasing the risk of overflow or damage. Occasional cleaning is still needed to remove fine particles, pollen, or anything that might accumulate on top of the guards, but overall, they save time and effort compared to uncovered gutters.

Answer: False
Explanation: We recommended that no matter what type of gutter guard you have installed, you clean them twice a year. Gutters can still collect fine particles and dirt which can cause a backup of rainwater.

Answer: False
Explanation: While gutter guards or screens can help to prevent larger debris from entering your gutters, they do not completely eliminate the need for gutter cleaning. Over time, smaller debris such as leaves, twigs, and dirt can accumulate on top of the gutter guards or screens and eventually clog the system. A vacuum pump system can be used to clean gutters with or without gutter guards or screens. However, if your gutters are equipped with gutter guards or screens, the vacuum system may need to be used more frequently to remove the accumulated debris on top of the guards or screens. Additionally, if the gutter guards or screens are not properly installed or maintained, they can actually cause more harm than good by trapping debris and causing water to overflow from the gutters. Therefore, it's essential to regularly check and maintain your gutter guards or screens, in addition to cleaning your gutters with a vacuum pump system.

Answer: True
Explanation: Gutter guards or screens prevent debris such as leaves and twigs from entering the gutters, reducing the amount of buildup and clogging. This means that the gutters will not need to be cleaned as often, reducing the need for maintenance and prolonging the lifespan of the gutters. Additionally, gutter guards or screens can help prevent water damage to the home by ensuring that rainwater flows freely through the gutters and away from the foundation.

Answer: True
Explanation: This is generally the case, and of course is the whole purpose for gutter guards. However, be aware that most will still need to be cleaned at some point, depending on the quality of gutter guard. I recommend a quality, fine metal mesh gutter guard that keeps everything out. Run from the vinyl ones, unless you live by the ocean.

Answer: True
Explanation: True, but it depends on the quality of the screen/guard. Some systems will block debris while others will act as a filter, allowing finer material to penetrate, thus still requiring some level of regular cleaning. Other environmental factors come into play as well such as light, moisture, and trees or landscaping placement.

Explanation: We offer 2 products - a 10 year no-clog (never clean those gutters) and a transferable lifetime warranty product that guarantees it for life and if you sell your home, the new homeowner gets that same warranty

Answer: True
Explanation: True.... if you have a good brand of gutter guard that works as promised. Some gutter screens do not actually decrease cleaning frequency, because leaves become stuck in the mesh or in the holes where the water runs through. In addition, even the best gutter guards rarely prevent very fine debris from slipping through, and that dirt still creates blockages that need to be addressed.

Answer: True
Explanation: This is entirely dependent on the area you live in and the type of guard or screen you choose to be installed and the manner in which they are installed. Example: if you choose a simple mesh screen installed flat on the gutter and you live in the middle of a wooded area you will spend as much time cleaning the screens as you would the gutter. An experienced and professional installer can lead you in the right direction with this choice. Installed correctly with the appropriate guard for the area= yes.

Answer: True
Explanation: Gutter guard eliminates the need to clean gutters, although in some areas they may need to be cleaned off once a year.

Answer: True
Explanation: This is mostly true. It depends on the quality of the cover or guard system. How well it was installed and again what type of trees are around and how close they are. Most systems are not 100% maintenance free. The price can range from 4-6 dollars per foot up to 23 to 25 dollars a foot and the top end ones definatly need less maintenance going forward. The problem is it may take 10 to 15 gutter cleanings to break even on the cost of installation of the top ones. So the decision is a personal one. Some people just do not want to think about the gutters. Some people just do not want to put up so much money in advance since the average time in a house is 5-7 years.
