Gutter Guards

In 1990 I purchased 200 feet for my newly constructed home. About 2005, when I removed the guards for a day to clean the gutters, there was mostly just granules from the shingles that had been deposited over the decade and a half. In 2009 and 2015, I purchased again to replace small sections that were damaged after trees fell onto the gutters after some nasty windstorms. In 2020 it was time for a new roof. While the gutter guards were still in great shape, the roofers damaged many while tearing off the old roof. Yes, it could have been prevented were I not so lazy. I could have pulled them all off prior to the new roof installation. So, at age 67, I purchased 200 feet more and now my gutters are good for the next 30 years or when the next tree comes down on the house. Are they perfect? No, but try to find another brand that will last 30 years. I am sure it will be difficult. I found them easy to install. 95% of the time all the water goes into the gutters. A few times a year when we get a very, very heavy rainstorm some of the water does overflow as the guards just can't take in the water fast enough. To me, this is a minor issue. Additionally, I still have my original sale flyer from 1990 and it features the same photograph of the person installing the gutter guards as they use today. I trust he gets residuals!

Quality Product, quick service and great price. usually it's: "You can only pick 2".. got all 3!! Nice!!

I would tell others about your Gutter Guard

We have used these guards for several years. They work great for leaves and pine needles. They even stayed on through the installation of a new roof. I can't say enough good things about this product.

Guards are nicely made, better then most, but are still way too thin gauge to withstand the elements, and they collapse into the gutter. They are too narrow (they don't reach under the shingles enough). They should either be made of thicker aluminum, or stainless steel, and be offered in wider widths. Why is it that the industry in general makes gutter guards so cheap and flimsy, when they are to become a permanent part of a building, and are so hard to access for replacement? These guards are better made then most, but still not good enough! I double them up, but still they are not strong enough. C'mon, Kimsman, aluminum is not that expensive! The next time, I will buy 1/16" thick punched aluminum stock, and cut it to (wider) width myself! The plastic clips are total folly, and fall out (perhaps they would fit into cheap narrow gutters?) I drop deck screws into the holes after fitting them, against the inside edge of the gutter. This keeps the guard from creeping further under the shingle (doesn't fit under enough!) and collapsing into the gutter. I rate "3" because it is better then what industry offers, otherwise I would rate "1".

Easy to install, no drilling for screws. If shingles are thick or stiff, use a steel roofing/builders square to lift a section, using the short arm as a lever - and insert guard underneath. Cut into two foot sections for even easier install - but you'll need extra clips.

For this price you cannot match this product! It is lightyears ahead of comparable gutter guards. My contractor loved it. I can see that it could be tricky to install on older, bent gutters, but our were newly installed at the same time we installed the guards. The only change we made was not to use the plastic clips. Instead we chose rivets. We also used the gutter guards to cover the venting holes under the soffits. The material cuts easily and the stainless steel staples went through easily as well. No more varmints under the roof.As you can see, we are happy with this product.

I had to return the item because the clips would not fit beneath the lip of my gutter.

These gutter guards work well, if you have precisely installed them. Where two cross, riveting them together works well. However, in snowy areas, if there is the least bit wrong with the installation, the snow will pull the gutter guard right off the gutter over the winter.
