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. |
Shasta Gutter Cleaning and Guards |
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. |

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. |
Odd Jobs |
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: Not sure Explanation: The right gutter screen makes a HUGE difference. A screen vs a flat panel vs a round panel each perform differently depending on how much foilage and the pitch/size of your roof |
Willison Seamless Gutters LLC |
Answer: True Explanation: True but only to an extent. Difference being that although the gutter may be clear from debris, a buildup of material will occur that is sitting 'half on the roof and half on the screens'. So instead of gutters holding material 'inside', where it possibly could be flushed out it, it now sits on the roof and can retain moisture that could lead to wood rotting and other problems. |

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. |
AAA Seamless Gutters LLC |
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. |
