LeafTek Gutter Guards for Leaves - Heavy-Duty Aluminum Protection System with Vented Raised Ridge Edge - American-Made Shield Covers for Gutters - DIY-Friendly Leaf Barrier White, 8" Sample

Sample great to try out for fit and problems. Only need a 5". I used the 6" piece to try tin snips and a small blade circular-table saw to cut the length if I need to adjust width. Saw worked great. Snips not good to cut 4 feet. I ordered the 200 ft after playing with the sample. The tabs will help stiffen and are a good size. The sample kit convinced me to place my order.

My neighbor complained about rain water coming from my property and asked me to direct my gutter water to a spot where it will flow into the street. I dug a trench about 18" and put 4" PVC pipe. My neighbor's trees dump a lot of leaves on my roof, and I didn't want a clog in a pipe 18" under ground so I wanted to install a gutter guard. I went to Lowe's to check out what they had. I read a lot of reviews and watched a lot of YouTube videos of professionals reviewing the available products. I settled on this. It's aluminum which, according to Frank Costanza, has a high strength to weight ratio. It screws in rather than just snapping in waiting to get blown away by the next heavy wind. And it doesn't tuck under the shingles thereby voiding the warranty from the new roof we just got. This is a preliminary review. The real test is going to be in October. I'll update this then. But there are a lot of things that can be said about this now. First is waterflow. I took one of these and held it under the faucet, and the water went straight through with a heavy flow. It will easily handle a heavy rainfall with no problem. Second, it's easy to install. It comes with screws AND a drill bit to fit the screws. You just install the gutter guards and then with a cordless drill. It's so easy it will make you feel like a master handyman. The only problem I had wit installation was the wasp nest that was already in the gutter. Yikes. Third is customer service. It's a small, family-owned, U.S. company. The product is made in the U.S. I think they're in New Jersey (got give 'em strength). I never had to call the customer service because they're so easy to install. They also have a feature whereby you can buy a sample piece for less than ten bucks to make sure they fit your gutter. These are being marketed to Harry Homeowner weekend warriors DIYers through Amazon. If you get the sample, they'll give you a coupon code for purchasing the product which is more than the cost of the sample piece so it's not ten buck down the drain. Follow Up: Well, the fall came and went. My neighbors' trees dumped a hundred pounds of leaves on my roof. But I didn't have a problem. They say that you still have to clean the leaves off the gutter guards, but I didn't have to. The leaves just fall right off. Not a single clog. Not a single problem. This is amazing. I mean, this is fantastic. Great product. By the way I only got it for the back of the house. I'm going to buy another 100 feet for the front now.

What can I say? These Gutter guards are the best thing Since sliced bread very happy with the quality. These guards are unbelievable. They do the job.

They were easy to install even though are gutters are older. We really like that are gutters are free of leaves etc. We highly recommend this product.

Perfect Fitment, Quality product. Keeps the leaves out with no problem. Not seen how they work during a heavy rain yet.
