Do Gutter Guards really work as good as advertised?
I am having new 5inch seamless gutters installed, and I do get a lot of leaves.
What are some of the pro’s & con’s? Is it worth the extra money?
I know there are other brands available, is one any better than the other?
Please help,
Lou

Lou, I put up 5 inch gutters with gutter guards. They kept out the big leaves, but small stuff (ash seeds) came through and plugged all my down spouts at the ells. This cost me wet basement, big time.
I tore off the 5 inch and replaced it with 6 inch half round. Vinyl, from Denmark. I used 4 inch drops.(Actually 10 CM drops, they don't quite match 4 inch vinyl down pipe) I used 45 degree angles instead of the more common 57 degree.
When it rains, Wow! Even sycamore leaves go sluicing down.
