I just spent $880 to have gutter guards installed on my house in the Bay Area, covering about 40 feet on each side. I'm starting to wonder if this was worth it because they don't look that impressive. What do you think? Here's a link to pictures of what they look like: https://imgur.com/a/W0dSNqq

That setup looks a bit like the Leaf Blaster Pro, but they should have screwed them in for better stability. If you’re in a colder area, keep in mind the tiny holes might freeze up and cause issues. Just something to watch out for!
Just a heads up, even with gutter guards, you’ll still need to clean them out at least twice a year, especially after the leaves fall and once spring bloom hits. They help, but they're not a complete fix!
Exactly! It’s like a trend that keeps coming back every decade. They just limit water flow and can give you more headaches than help.
You might want to reconsider the price, though. It does seem a bit steep. Personally, I think that would typically go for around $400, max. It shouldn’t cost more than $10 per foot installed if you ask around.
Those are decent gutter guards! As long as they’re installed properly with screws in a few places and with overlapping screens, you should be alright. But honestly, you could have done this yourself for under $150 if you had a good ladder!
Totally! It’s like they just lighten your wallet instead of the workload.
