Customer Reviews

After much research... and now real life experience: IT WORKS!!!
We live on a wooded secluded lot with many 40ft plus trees around. Every few months or so, especially during thunderstorms, we found our gutters overflowing because the pipes are clogged with leaves and debris. This can do much damage to fascia and siding and the roofing even.
So we set out to find a working gutter screen solution. We read and surfed and read and finally found that the only type that people seemed unanimous about was that the diamond shaped gutter screen of this brand worked (consumer reports also suggested it). I checked the home improvement stores and found it to be very expensive. Much to our surprise we found it dirt cheap on Amazon and ordered enough , and some, to do our house.
Installation was literally a snap as these snap on. The only real work is measuring the end pieces and cutting them (a sharp hobby knife or scissors will do).
Very easy to install and after many moons of use we have found our gutters clean and functioning! No more muck to scoop out!!

Works much better than reviews I have read
Have 50 trees in my backyard, with a 70 foot sycamore overhanging the back of my house. Installed these on all of the gutters in the back of my house 8 years ago, and they work great, and they have held up exceptionally well (none have broken, and when I had my roof replaced two weeks ago, some of them were removed and then re-installed without breakage).

Some leaves may lay on top of the gutter guard, but when the winds pick up, the leaves blow right off the gutter guard. This week I purchased more of them and installed them in the front of my house. The new ones came with small mesh screen cloth glued on top of the plastic diamond gutter guard, but I went ahead and removed the small screen cloth in order to make sure they would not get blocked up by the asphalt shingle grit since all the previous ones I have had so much luck with did not have the optional small mesh cloth screen.

Bottom line is that these work great as long as you have trees with leaves (have no idea how they would work with pine needles, etc.)

One time each year I do go up on the roof and inspect my gutter guards. Typically I have a few twigs that have fallen from the trees that get stuck in the guard, but nothing that would prevent the gutter guards from working properly.

Great product, and easy to install.

Good product... but
Gutter Screen performance depends on what you are trying to filter out. If you have trees that drop tiny berrys- they get through these guards. Leaves from oak and maple trees may get caught in these guards and may create a clog on top of the guards which you will need to clean. Tree seed pods will tend to get stuck in these guards too. There is a more current version available that has a fine mesh screen adhered to the outside which may eliminate some of the clogging- take a look at those too. These are well made and lock onto the (aluminum) gutter edge. Screws may be needed to really secure that connection. They can be easily trimmed with tin snips. The upper part of the guard slides up and under the roof shingles- do this on a sunny day in case you need to unstick the shingles from the roof water barrier material. I give these a provisional buy rating.
