Gutters, Gutter Guards, and Attic Services

Gutter guards work, but the brand-name price is mostly sales machine: the same class of screen installs for a fraction of the big-brand quote. And no guard means never cleaning your gutters again; that promise is a myth.

3 Questions About Gutters, Gutter Guards, and Attic Services

Are gutter guards like LeafFilter actually worth it?

The screen itself is not expensive. Most of what the big brands charge covers marketing and an in-home sales process, not a better product.

Will gutter guards really mean I never clean my gutters again?

No. Guards reduce how often and how unpleasant the job is. Fine debris, granules, and pine needles still accumulate, and the screen surface itself needs clearing.

Which gutter guard actually works through a Utah winter?

The guard chosen for snow and ice, not just leaves. Gutter guard types winter very differently, and the choice of type matters far more than the brand on the box.

DIY Roof Repairs and Replacement: What You Can Safely Do Yourself

Some roof jobs are genuinely yours to do, and a roofer should be honest about which ones. Gutter cleaning, sealing a pipe flashing, a gutter screen on a one-story: fine.
