Some videos say they're the best, others say you'll ruin your roof. Seems like the detractors of them say that just brushing them off once a year completely negates the whole thing but I can't really tell. Only really have large leafs to worry about.Installing them myself btw so it will be like $400 not $3,000.
>>2997877Gutter spikes in general are a death sentence for fascia. Try the guards out and see what happens.
>>2997877I use the cheapie snap in plastic ones from home depot, with the additional screen, never have a problem. I get leaves and big seeds on a 5.5/12 roof everything falls right off
>>2997877those gutters are mounted too high up, btw, should be mounted lower so the guard is self cleaning 99% of the time
>>2997877Gutters are stupid just have a longer roof.
>>2997917I have wondered what's even the point of them. My roof goes about 2 feet past the walls.
>>2997917>>2997949Washouts are the issue. My house lacks gutters (common in Florida probably due to hurricanes) and I have spots around the perimeter that get absolutely destroyed by rainwater pouring off the roof. Even my driveway has a line where the surface of the concrete has been eroded. I could ring my house with stone to take the brunt of it, but I'm going to get gutters so I can direct the water away properly. I've covered the worst areas with pavers in the meantime.
the mesh kind like in the picture will still let small stuff in that can build up and clog your downspouts. if you check them once a year, you should be okay.
