Leafguard gutters have been working perfectly on my house for 10 years now
without cleaning.

I am getting too old to climb ladders and clean the gutters so I am
asking for any input about how to protect the gutters from being
filled with leaves and debris.
Thanks for any help.

I just installed a new roof and my roofer installs Leaf Guard.

However, he told me not to bother. No "clean gutter" system really
works well. They may prevent big, dry leaves from getting in, but wet
"gunk" will always find its way in there, and with most of them, you
can't really clean it out.

He suggested I save the money you would spend on such a system and use
it to pay a landscaper to clean the gutters a few times a year.


My sentiments exactly. After my buddy told me the contractor's estimate
for installing Gutter Guards on his home I pointed out that he could hire
a handyman to clean his gutters twice a year for 30 years. By that time
he and I will either be plant food or drooling on our shirts.
