Regular gutters or K Guard?

bc | Posted in General Discussion on

Not sure whether to repair some parts of a house w. gutters from lowe’s/hd then add a gutter guard or just pay for the K guard… any thoughts? K guard worth the money? (About $9 per foot installed)

    Option 3: Repair the gutters and skip the guard.

    That one gets my vote.

      Option 4: Do away with the gutters, if possible.
