I installed gutter guards in my eaves troughing years ago. I no longer
have to clean them. I used to have to clean my gutters 2-3 times a
year, and I hated it. I have a lot of big trees on and near my property
and the eaves would be full. That water in there is cold in the fall,
and I usually had to do it at least twice in the fall and then again in
the spring.

One year I was climbing up to do the eaves on the overhang by the living
room. I thought the ladder had been well positioned but it kicked out
and down we went. One leg slid down between two rungs and then my other
leg hit the ladder and pushed it against the shin on the other leg. I
thought I had broken my leg. Four hours in the ER. As soon as my leg
was well enough to climb ladders again I investing in the Allguard.

When a tree fell on my house and I got as new roof, eaves trough, fascia
and soffit courtesy of the insurance company, I pointed out that I had
had Alluguard on the gutters, so they replaced that too.
