Gutter guards can be a great solution — but they’re not for everyone.

 

Here’s a quick look at both sides:

 

✅ Pros:

• Reduce frequent cleanings

• Prevent large debris from entering your gutters

• Improve water flow efficiency

 

⚠️ Cons:

• Still require maintenance (small debris and shingle grit can slip through)

• Poorly installed guards can trap moisture and damage fascia

• Higher upfront cost
