Gutter Guard recommendation?

[Stampede]

i would assume they would clean them before putting guards on them, I had my gutters replaced at the same time though.

Was thinking of using them just as a cleaning service - in case the gutter guard price is too much.

I went with the solid 'Reverse Curve' type because I have loads of pine needles to consider. All the mesh screen things I tried would get loaded with needles sticking through the screen. Had the solid put up 12 years ago and never had to touch my gutters since. Yes they may miss some runoff during heavy GA rainstorms, but work great 99% of the time. Cost is high, think over $10 per/ft . They were installed by an independent contractor, he's moved on to other pastures by now, so I have no one to recommend. Cost assume your gutters and downspouts are in good enough condition to support the installation.

Thats sounds a bit ridiculous. How many linear feet of gutter is on your house?

do not remember the figures they had, tossed all the paperwork but I have a 5600 sq ft house

I learned a hard expensive lesson with repairs to the wood , boards , bands etc behind poorly maintained gutters filled with pine needles , leaves and muck. I tell anyone that will listen to take the gutters down until you have the trees cut down that drop the leaves /pine needles on your house. In my case, the gutters created way more problems than they ever solved.

I'm starting to think I need to take mine down. Too many pine trees and I'm constantly up there cleaning them out.

Hmm, a house that large I could see where they got those numbers. Still think it may have been a bit high, but makes more sense now.
