LeafTek Gutter Guards for Leaves 6" x 200' Black – Heavy-Duty Premium Aluminum Gutter Cover System with Vented Raised Ridge – DIY-Friendly Leaf Guard – USA Made – Lifetime Protection

So after reviewing all the old, ineffective types of gutter guards that were on my house, I decided to buy these and I'm glad I did.Time will tell how these will perform but I feel super confident that these will be very effective with the type of leaves and other things that fly off the trees along the back of my home. Anything with a rough surface is just like velcro to the stuff that comes off my trees. These are smooth with pretty small holes so I think the will be far better than most products on the market to keep thing off and out the gutter. They screw in so they're not going anywhere. Thin, but rigid, nicely painted.The black color, they will be better to have in the winter as they will heat up faster.They look very nice IMHO, nice clean look to them. My pics were as I was installing them. It's a shame no one can see them, lol.They are very easy to install, instructions, plenty of screws and a drill bit provided. You'll need a good pair of tin snips to cut them though.Took me hour and a half to remove the old guards, blow the gutters out with a leaf blower and install approximately 60ft on the first floor. The second floor probably will take longer.My only recommendation would be to change to a smoother rounded screw, for same reason as above, prevent things from getting stuck. Despite that, I'm very happy with these!!I definitely will be buying another 100' to finish off the rest of my house.

I ordered a sample pack of this style and another one, since I didn't know which size I needed. I also wanted to check the size and number of holes. I live in Michigan where the snow melts, but when it hits the gutter guards, depending on the style you have it refreezes and then makes the gutters useless. These seem to have a good size hole without being able to let in pine needles or whirly birds, and don't look like they would freeze shut as easy as the other styles, and they are very sturdy and appear very easy to install even for a DIYer. I also like the black color, it should blend better and hopefully will draw a little heat to help with the snow and ice.

These perform higher than my expectations. I've tried the big box stores off the shelf gutter guards and they all were terrible. I did a lot of research into different gutter leaf guards, reviews, cost, installation instructions and techniques. These Leafetek gutter guards are a solid, legit, high performing gutter guard. I live I'm Chicagoland, installed these this past fall. Easy install once you dry-fit a few pieces in order to format a plan. Installing left to right or right to left made no difference to me. Some of my gutters, rather new ones, were not exactly even far as width. This challenged install by needing to maneuver and negotiate the gutter and guard to ensure fit prior to screwing guards in place. This was a fun and rewarding project. I installed on my house and separate 4 car garage.Far as performance... wow, no complaints. At all! Fall leaves, not a problem, did not collect, did not block. Bitter cold, snow and ice, yes a few icicles, less than prior to Leaftek gutter guards. Only a few. The design allowed melting to take place pretty quickly. No clogs or blockages. Spring downpours, and I mean heavy deluge of rain, not a problem. The Leaftek gutter guards kept up with demand, never overflowed, never was there more rain than these could handle. I am very impressed and super glad I ordered and installed them. I recommend angled aluminum cutting shears, cordless drill, tape measure, straight edge to ensure you are cutting correctly and a marker or similar for marking cut lines and corner points. I was intimidated by the measuring, cutting and screwing these to my gutters. After initial first few, it became pretty simple. A home DYIer can definitely install these on a single story home. Multiple stories I can not speak to installation, only to performance.I am very pleased. Wish I did this years ago.

Install was easy. Fit was good. Sleek and unnoticeable from ground level. Really helps with keeping the gutters cleaner. Haven't seen how long they will last. Did not like how the screws to attach on the backside were not accessible when installed.
