Our company has been installing gutters for over 30 plus years and to this day it’s question. There’s over 100 different variation of gutter gloves or devices sold in the United States. A variety of big box stores even offer their in-house versions, specialty providers carry their go-to manufacturers, and local hardware stores have their own. However, what is the best gutter guard system?
Aloha Gutters a company we manage uses a line of gutter guards manufactured from an actual contractor such as the Bulldog gutter guard and Leaf Sentry Gutter guards (Premium Model). These products are found exclusively at all Lansing Building Product’s. The simplistic nature of the design and the fact that our installer’s prefer these due to the ease of the installation has made these our go-to. However, are these the best?
That’s an open-ended question, because it comes down to price and end-goal for which you seek. There are gutter systems that cost from $40-$50 a linear foot (gutter helmet, leafguard). The benefit of our system is they won’t break your budget, but to ease your mind you are looking at an entry price point of $10 to $20 a linear foot.
The questions to ask yourself:
What type of tree or debris are clogging your gutters?
How often do you find yourself cleaning the gutters?
How long do you intend to live at your home?
How much is your health insurance deductible?
These are the four questions we ask all of our clients, because each gutter guard system varies in their intention and way they shed debris. If you live in an area exclusive to whirley birds or pine needles a heavy duty deterrent is worth it. We you fill out the 4 questions and then contact a trusted contractor that specializes in gutter installations. All area’s vary in the product offerings due the actual native trees and issues with the season.
