Seems like gutter guards dont work. Is it better just to clean or pay to have the gutters cleaned twice a year? Local input requested.

My neigbor had his done last summer, it was the roll over lip not the mesh type. Ayway when we had the heavy snow and rain they froze up and he had a big mess. Oher neigbor has the mesh cover and it seems to work. I saw a new 1 in bj's that was a soft insert that filled the gutter but let the water drain.


I just clean mine in the fall...

I have copper gutters.

I had 50 ft.of down spouts stolen 2 weeks ago.

And i'm embarrassed to admit that i'm sure

the guys that stole them scammed me a week earlier.

I've got copper too, now I guess I better go out and check my downspouts. What was the scam the week before?

The guy was slick. He knocked on my door and he said
he'd done work in our neighborhood for years. And said he's
clean my gutters for $80. I thought..cool. I didn't even remember
the last time my gutters were cleaned.

So...he distracted me as his accomplis, who was supposed to be cleaning the gutters was checking my house out...
to find out which down spouts were loose...etc., etc.

and then

Sucks. He was probably cracking the solder as he was up there so they could come back later and quickly slide 'em off and be gone. Bastards.
