I don't know what "foam stuff" you're referring to.


The stretched aluminum mesh with the arch in it is a joke. Debris
builds up behind it. The wind blows it over and it hangs from the
gutters, looking like hell. It's visible from the curb. A waste of
money.

I decided to give that stuff a try. I installed it on one section of
gutter to see how it does over the winter. But unlike the picture shown
on the product, I installed it *under* the shingles, so it isn't very
noticable, and there isn't any humped up part for debris to pile
up behind.


Do you want to prevent the gutters from getting clogged and backing
up? Then there is no better, cheaper or more effective product than
Steelco gutter screens.

Your description basically makes it sound like Home Depot stuff, only
installed differently and having colored tabs.

Wow, that website doesn't really provide me with any confidence that I'm
dealing with professionals.

Sheesh. What website? I think Jungle Man is a shill.


I use to install the gutter screens as a side business for a couple of
years. I live at the beach on the remote Outer Banks of NC. Not many
trees here, so my phone wasn't exactly ringin' off the hook. All the
clients I've spoken with over the years seem to be pleased with them.

I guess anyone you don't know who has something good to say about a
product is a shill. Try the screens... then call me a shill.
