Best Gutter Guards of 2025

"I've had these gutter guards for over two years, and they fit perfectly with no issues. I love that they are low maintenance and have saved me thousands of dollars compared to professional installations. They perform well in all weather conditions, including rain, ice, and snow."

"With over 200 feet of gutters surrounded by trees, I needed something effective. After trying various types, I found these gutter guards to be completely successful at keeping out debris. They are rugged and easy to clean, and I appreciate the quality construction."

"I really like these gutter guards for their value. They've held up well for over a year, although I wish the aluminum ends were more uniform and that they included joiners. I found a solution by cutting the ends and using strips for a cleaner seam."

"I found this product to be exceptionally easy to install, taking just a few hours for my 150 feet of gutter. The fit was perfect with overlapping ends, and I felt secure using two screws per guard for added stability. After heavy rain, there were no overflows, and I’m confident I've made the right choice for my oak-filled environment."

"Having replaced my old gutter guard, I noticed this mesh is much sturdier and I don't expect it to sag over time. I found it helpful to loosen my metal roof screws a bit to slide the guard underneath. The end result was a neat installation, and I believe this will solve my issue with those pesky helicopter leaves."

"This gutter guard is a great value compared to others I've seen! It's lightweight and easy to cut, making installation a breeze. When leaves collect on top, I simply use my blower to clear them off, eliminating the need to scoop out any wet leaves. After installation, they become almost invisible!"

"As a 60-year-old woman, I installed 50 feet of these gutter guards by myself in about 3-4 hours. They fit perfectly, though I had to make some adjustments due to uneven gutters. They’re sturdy and seem to strengthen my gutters. I previously paid hundreds for poorly installed guards, so I was pleased with this product's performance. I only wish there were pre-drilled holes for easier installation, but overall, I'm impressed."

"At 67, I opted to install these A-M Gutter Guards myself after getting a quote for a traditional installation. They were $100 cheaper than other options and promised to reduce annual cleaning. The installation was mostly straightforward, but I had to work from a ladder due to visibility issues. I appreciate the spare panels provided and found the material easy to cut. I highly recommend these guards for their strength and flexibility."

"I was thrilled with the thick material of these guards compared to flimsy alternatives. I saved over $2,000 compared to professional installation. The installation was easy enough for one person, and I'm very satisfied with my purchase."

"I found the installation to be easy. I only needed a putty knife for prying up the shingles, and some tin snips made cutting the guard a breeze. I like that these guards are at an angle, allowing debris to roll off rather than sit on top. I have 4” gutters and they fit perfectly. I feel confident in their security, especially since I live in a windy area."

"I have mixed feelings about these guards. I love the product, but I noticed that the gluing method has changed since my last purchase two years ago. The screens now have big blobs of glue, which makes them prone to pulling off. I hope they last longer this time. I've had no clogs in my drains before, but I did have a few issues after some severe hailstorms. I still appreciate how easy they are to snap in and out."

"I just installed these gutter guards, and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and ease of installation. At 79 years old, I thought it would be difficult, but it was very simple. The corners were easy to cut, and the fit was perfect. Honestly, I can't recommend this product enough. It saved me time and money compared to a contractor's estimate!"

"I purchased and installed this product in late summer 2014 after an exhausting presentation from a 'leaf proof' system that cost over $10,000 for roughly 200' of gutter. After the sales guy left and I stopped laughing, I found this product on Amazon. I am delighted! My house is in the northeast US, surrounded by tall trees. Falling leaves have been no problem. Even leaves that settled on top of the guard blew off quickly, and I haven’t had to clean the gutter covers at all. During heavy rainstorms, the guards handled water remarkably well. I had no issues with water overflowing, and the gutter always remains clear of debris."

"If you are considering other gutter guard brands, or thinking about hiring a contractor, stop right there! These Flowguard gutter guards are the perfect choice. They are just as good as the professionally installed types but cost significantly less. I installed them myself and was thrilled with the quality. I installed 102' in just 3 hours! I highly recommend using a 6" magnetic nut driver for easier installation."

"Despite clearing my gutters regularly, they would always clog after a storm, leading to water in my basement. The old gutter guards were flimsy and ineffective. After installing these sturdy guards, I’ve faced several storms without a single leaf accumulation or water in my basement. I wish I had discovered these sooner for the peace of mind they provide!"

"I ordered a sample first to check the fit, and it was perfect. These guards are very durable and will last a long time. I saved a ton of money, spending less than $150 for my ranch house, while a major company quoted me $3,000. Installation was straightforward, and I did it myself!"

"As an 81-year-old DIY'er, I found these gutter guards easy to install and trim as needed. However, I did find that the package lacked enough metal screws and the driver, which was a bit inconvenient. Regardless, I still recommend this product for its reasonable cost and effectiveness."

"Installing these gutter guards was simple and made my gutters look great! My son and I managed to cover 202 feet in just 8 hours, spending only $150. In contrast, a TV-advertised company wanted $14,360. It's truly a steal with a 50-year warranty!"

"I canceled a costly order for a gutter guard after seeing samples of a competitive brand that were destroyed in one season. I found a similar product on Amazon for a tenth of the price. After six months of use, my gutters are clear and the guard is undamaged. I couldn't be happier!"

"Living in the Pacific Northwest with 100' fir trees, I was constantly cleaning my clogged gutters. I decided to install these guards myself, which took some time but wasn't too difficult. I had to make some adjustments around the corners, and while there were some minor issues, they are doing a decent job at keeping the tree debris out."

"I received my order quickly and was impressed with the easy installation. The overlapping sections of the screen help keep debris out of the joints. After using tin snips to cut corners, I was ready for the first rainstorm to see how well they perform!"

"I find these very effective at keeping leaves out of my downspouts. I would definitely buy them again."

"Installing these was a breeze; my husband did it quickly with no complaints. He’s really pleased with their performance."

"I appreciate that they stop leaves from clogging the downspout while still letting smaller debris through. They do cut down on maintenance, but regular gutter cleaning is still necessary."

"After this winter, I will know better if these hold down and don't get blown out by the wind, but installation was fairly easy and they seem to be durable. Only time will tell."

"My property is surrounded by pines, and the gutters I had were complete trash. I avoided major upgrades, but after extensive research, I found a permanently attached mesh solution that I created myself. The magnetic strip keeps the mesh from sagging, making maintenance much easier. I'm quite happy with how things are turning out!"

"While this product is definitely easy to work with, the constant repairs and adjustments required are almost as tedious as cleaning out a clogged gutter. In the Florida sun, the clips fail, pushing the screen into the gutter and rendering it useless. I think I’ll try a competitor next."

"I used to have plastic guards, but they only lasted a few seasons. These aluminum gutter guards are solid. Installation is easy if you have the right size; however, I wish they included screws to save me a trip to the local hardware store. 1/2" #7 metal screws would do the job."

"I found the quality to be good and comparable to big box hardware stores. Very easy to install and lightweight, plus it's a great price."

"These guards fit great in my gutters! I learned that I needed to measure for the correct width, as they come in different sizes. Installation was easy too!"
