GUTTER LEAF PROTECTION:
HOW DO GUTTER HELMET COVERS, SCREENS, AND FILTERS COMPARE?

Are you ready to get serious about gutter leaf protection?? This website will give you the tools to help you decide whether a low cost screen is for you, or whether you need something more permanent.

And we'll help you objectively compare the major designs of permanent gutter leaf protection so you will be an educated consumer!

Also did you know that you can collect water from your roof to LOWER YOUR WATER BILL if you filter the leaves and other debris? We'll discuss this on the Rainwater Harvesting page.



“Honey, it’s time to clean the gutters again!”

Yuuuch. So you are climbing up your ladder, catch your breath as you get to the top and then gaze out over your new "collection" of overflowing leaf clogs and other crud, and then you think...

  • “Hey, didn’t I do this just a few months ago?? There's GOT to be a better way!”

Then when you’ve looked into your gutters with amazement at how “efficient” your “leaf catchers” are, have you ever pondered...

  • "How could my 'modern' house be designed to actually CATCH CRUD like my kid's hoop catches basketballs??"

Perhaps you've finally gotten to the point you've decided you have better things to do with your precious Saturday mornings… and you want to find the best PERMANENT gutter protection solution.

See the picture on the left? Those were my gutters before I found a solution!

BECAUSE I HAD TO CLIMB A 36 FOOT LADDER OFTEN, I WAS HIGHLY MOTIVATED TO SPEND PLENTY OF TIME TO FIND THE BEST PERMANENT GUTTER PROTECTION SOLUTION FOR ME!

Okay, so you ask yourself "What’s the best choice... for MY home?"

Of all the products on the market, you can go the low cost route with inexpensive screens, or you can choose from a myriad of PERMANENT gutter leaf protection systems, all of which boil down to just three major design approaches:

  • Gutter helmet/cap/shield/guard/covers,

  • Stainless steel mesh gutter screens, and

  • Polyurethane gutter filters which fit inside the gutter.
Okay, there are a few others which we'll discuss briefly, but due to their serious limitations, we don't put them in their own category.

You'll learn more about these designs, and compare their strengths and weaknesses. And hey, I'm not going to kid you...

    ...ALL THREE HAVE THEIR OWN WEAKNESSES WHICH MUST BE OVERCOME! I'll show you how they do that.

I will objectively review the three major designs, but first a quick video about one product that worked best for me:
