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

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: False
Explanation: Gutter guard still need attention from the homeowner. Gutter guards can be stopped up or clogged by leaves, pollen, debris or damage. Routine maintenance is needed to ensure that the gutter operates in its intended fashion.

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: True
Explanation: Gutter guards help keep debris out but never 100%.

Answer: True
Explanation: It depends- Having leaves piled up on top of them still allows them to function, but you're collecting moisture that can get behind your gutters and under shingles by allowing debris to stack on top of your guards. This can cause wood rot and other damages to your home. Soffit, facia, etc.

Answer: True
Explanation: They still need cleaning, but not near as often

Answer: True
Explanation: As long as they are installed correctly you will very rarely need to clean them.

Answer: True
Explanation: depending on the covers or screens you may need to blow the debris off them occasionally.

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: Less frequent than before but you will need to keep guards clean so covers can do it’s job at least once a year

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.

Answer: True
Explanation: Got to God's will keep the big leaves and sticks and twigs out but you should still clean them once a year general maintenance will provide a happy long life for those gutters I don't clean gutters anymore but other people do

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: 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

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: A good no clog screen will keep leaves, shingle sand, pine needles, bee's etc.. out of your gutters and downspouts. Avoid any kind of helmet or screens with too large perforations, as these will still let most debris into the gutters.

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.
