Seamless Gutters

[DVerbarg]

Be careful with gutter guards. The concept of keeping the gutters clean is great but the way in which some work or are installed leaves much to de desired. Some cost too much and others end up being more work then they are worth.

One design that looks very good both in theory and in actual use is <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.leafguard.com>leaf-guard</A>. The only problem with these is the price, about double normal gutters. If I had large trees surrounding the house I probably would have gotten these.

Pulled the trigger on the job today. Seamless gutters (.032) thickness with gutter guards. I have a two story (2632sq ft living area) and the total came to a little over $1300 for the job.

It was difficult getting quotes because everyone seems to be booked solid. We've had a pretty rainy spring here in west Michigan and I couldn't stand seeing my backfill wash away any longer.

I'll post the results when the job is complete. Thanks to everyone for the great advice!
