Summary |
We recommend Waterlock micro-mesh guards for homeowners who want a high-end DIY guard that blocks pine needles, seedpods, and leaves. |
We recommend Raptor for its well-made micro-mesh screen that blocks small debris. It’s easy to modify for homeowners who have nonstandard roofs or gutters. |
We recommend A-M’s aluminum gutter guard for its high-end all-aluminum screen that blocks medium-sized debris and withstands heavy impacts. |
We recommend Amerimax’s lock-in mesh guard for homeowners in climates with heavy rain. Its mesh screen can withstand heavy downpours. |
We recommend GutterBrush for homeowners who want an easy and fast installation and don’t mind a less effective guard that will require more maintenance than other products. |
We recommend Frost King’s guard for homeowners with long gutter systems. Its low price allows you to protect larger systems for a lower price. |
We recommend Home Intuition for homeowners with long gutter systems who want an easy installation. Its low price allows you to protect larger systems cheaply and quickly. |
We don’t recommend Waterlock Pro due to its poor performance compared to its high price. |
We don’t recommend GutterFoam due to its low material quality and high relative cost. |
We don’t recommend Amerimax’s micro-mesh guard due to its constant overflows and poor material quality. |
We don’t recommend Amerimax’s reverse-curve guard because of its inability to filter water without overflowing. |
