When faced with the job of choosing gutter covers
for your Maryland home, it can get pretty confusing. Many homeowners are looking for the
product that will make their gutters totally maintenance free. Some salespeople will tell you
they have this device, but despite the fact that there are some great gutter guard designs,
the miracle product just doesn't exist.
Most of the products do a pretty good
job keeping full sized leaves from entering your gutters -- but it's the little stuff like maple
seeds, pods, flower petals, and buds that cause them all to fail to some
degree.
I've Been Experimenting with Gutter
Covers For Over 30 Years!
I've been experimenting with gutter
covers for over 30 years now, and I find that some work much better than others -- and
the more expensive guards are not necessarily the best. Some of my customers tell me that they
spent over $25.00 a foot for some of the "Nationally Famous" brands, and then when they did clog,
the company never came back to honor their warranty! I hate to see it when people spend a lot of
money on something that doesn't work as promised.
Many "High Priced" Gutter Guards
Can Actually Damage Your Roof
Most of these "high end" products
actually slide under the second layer of shingles and require a screw to pierce the shingles and
roof deck. I don't like that design one bit! It may also void your shingle warranty. I've been on
service calls where these screws have led to leaks and major damage! That just doesn't make sense
to me.
These types of systems are also almost
impossible to remove when there is a problem. And of course, most of the units that are easily
removable, like screens and plastic strainers, simply don't work and can cause even more
problems.
My Ideal Gutter Guard Must Have These
Features:
- The system must keep most of
the debris out of the gutter without restricting water
flow into the
gutter.
- The guards must be strong
enough not to "cave in" yet easily removable for occasional
cleaning.
- The units must not interfere
or cause a puncture to the roof and void the shingle warranty.
- And, finally, the system must
be engineered so that it works without adjusting or repositioning the entire
gutter system.

Alcoa's "Leaf
Relief" Passes ALL My
Tests:
Passing my requirements is one thing,
but my customers have put Leaf
Relief to the test, and so far it seems to rank
as the favorite.
"My Leaf Relief
system doesn't clog, just like Alcoa says in it's
warranty, it costs less than 1/4 of those high
priced brands, and it doesn't stick up in the front of my house like the others do. I love
it!" says Tajeta Rice, of Bowie,
Maryland.
. . . and I
agree. Leaf
Relief looks good, it works great, and
right now, it's only about $7.97 per
foot, installed. Not too shabby. To get yours,
just fill in your contact information, and click the "Get Leaf Relief"
button.
