Last year I had new gutters installed and was told that gutter guards
always failed and would cost 3X as much. I had mesh type with large
holes self installed and would still have to remove a few pieces to
remove particulate that accumulated.* I see a micro mesh being
advertised and it may work better but probably costs even more.* A
quick Google shows cheapest at about $25/ft.


Ouch, I'd have gueseds half that.* Better to just let them fill up and
replace them every few years and come out ahead


We were discussing ovens in another thread, it is practically impossible
to get someone out to the house for less than $100. The oven guy is up
to $150 and blames workman's comp insurance cost.

It is possible to avoid that expense but if someone is injured working
on your property you may be subject to a law suit. One of our sons in
an insurance company lawyer and has some frightening stories of suits he
has seen. Homeowners insurance usually does not cover workmen.
