Myth vs. Reality
Myth
You don't need gutter protection if you don’t have trees.
Leaves and debris often clog gutters, but birds, rodents, and insects can also contribute by nesting or leaving droppings. Wind and storms may bring additional dirt and debris. Installing gutter guards helps prevent these clogs and reduces the need for frequent cleaning, even in areas without trees.
Myth
Gutter guards eliminate the need for gutter maintenance.
Gutter guards reduce debris but don’t eliminate maintenance, as they can't maintain; consider using The 360 Degree Utility Cleaning Brush, explicitly crafted to clean any gutter guard effortlessly.
Myth
Gutter guards are only effective in certain climates.
Some homeowners mistakenly think gutter guards are only helpful in areas with heavy rainfall or many trees, but they benefit any climate. Even in drier regions, gutter guards prevent dust, dirt, and debris accumulation in gutters, reducing the need for frequent cleaning.
Myth
Gutter guards are unsightly and decrease curb appeal.
Homeowners concerned about the look of gutter guards can find modern, discreet options that blend with their roofline and are virtually invisible from the ground. These designs protect effectively and enhance or maintain the home's curb appeal.
