Gutter Guard Rip-Off!
A client called about blocked gutters. Water was overflowing, leaves were everywhere, and the homeowner had been told that the solution was to install gutter guards.
One gutter cleaner quoted $35,000 to install gutter guards on their roof.
Yes… $35,000.
The client was stunned. For what? A piece of plastic or mesh that still lets debris in, still needs cleaning, and doesn’t solve every leak.
Why Gutter Guards Are Overrated
Gutter guards are not a magic fix. They often:
- Still let leaves and debris in
- Cause blockages where water finds gaps
- Don’t stop leaks from old joints or poor roof design
- Can cost thousands unnecessarily
