Not all gutter guards are created equal! There are many types of guards, including filters or mesh, screens, roof to gutter covers, and all in one systems. The quality of materials and installation methods vary greatly, which can impact their effectiveness. It is important to choose the right system for your home's needs.
For instance, if you want low to no maintenance, filters are probably not the best idea here in Georgia. With the amount of pollen, these clog externally, leading to overshoot concerns. In Georgia, these style of guards require regular cleaning to unclog the pollen.
If you like to have options or want something with a secure hold, roof to gutter covers are probably not a great fit either. These covers damage your first layer of shingles when they are removed or blown off by a strong wind.
If you want something with a lifetime warranty, that adheres to your fascia with no damage to shingles, you might prefer an all in one system. Different all in one gutter systems have different quality and materials, so be sure to do your research and ask plenty of questions!
