You Have Better Things to Do Than Clean Your Gutters

Most homeowners aren't searching for the best gutter guard because they're excited about gutter guards.

You want the problems that come with clogged gutters to go away.

You want to:

✓ Stop cleaning your gutters year after year
✓ Stay safely off the ladder
✓ Stop worrying about clogged gutters and downspouts
✓ Keep rainwater moving away from your home
✓ Help protect your basement and foundation from water problems
✓ Prevent overflowing water around landscaping, fascia and walkways
✓ Feel confident when heavy Kansas City rain moves in
✓ Invest in a solution you won't have to replace a few years from now

A good gutter guard should make owning your home easier — without getting in the way of your gutters doing their job.

So, What Makes a Gutter Guard the Best?

There are a lot of gutter guards on the market, and almost all of them promise to keep leaves out.

But keeping leaves out is only part of the job.

Your gutter protection also has to let rainwater in, preserve enough capacity to carry that water, work with your home's roof and gutter configuration, withstand years of exposure to the elements and eliminate the maintenance you're trying to get away from.

After more than 25+ years serving Kansas City homeowners, we've seen what works, what doesn't and what can happen when gutter protection isn't designed around the entire gutter system.

What Should You Look for When Comparing Gutter Guards?

1. A Design That Keeps Debris Out — Without Creating Another Cleaning Chore

Can leaves and debris get into the gutter?

Leaves, sticks, seeds and other debris shouldn't be entering the gutter where they can collect and eventually create clogs.

But there's another question worth asking:

What happens to the debris that lands on top of the gutter guard?

If a system relies on tiny openings, screens,mesh, micro mesh, or filters, consider whether those openings can become obstructed and whether the gutter guard itself may require maintenance.

2. A Design That Gets Rainwater Into the Gutter

Keeping debris out is only half the equation.

Rainwater still has to get in.

Different gutter guards manage water differently. Some allow water through openings or mesh, while solid-cover systems use water's natural adhesion to guide rainwater around a curved surface and into the gutter.

Whatever type you're considering, look beyond the leaf-protection claim and ask:

How is this system designed to manage water — especially when the rain gets heavy?

3. The Position of the Water-Collection Point

If you're considering a surface-tension gutter guard, geometry matters.

Water travels across the cover, follows the curved nose, and releases into the gutter. The shape and position of that nose affect where the water enters.

A nose-forward design positions the water-collection point farther over the gutter rather than farther back toward the home.

It may look like a small design difference, but it's an important feature to consider when comparing surface-tension systems.

4. Full Gutter Capacity

This is one of the easiest differences for homeowners to overlook.

Your gutter still needs enough capacity to handle the rainwater coming off your roof.

Some gutter-protection designs can change the usable interior space of the gutter. Others install over a traditional full-size gutter, preserving the gutter's water-carrying capacity.

The size of the gutter and downspouts should also be appropriate for the amount of roof runoff the system needs to manage.

5. A System That Can Adapt to the Home

Not every house is built the same.

Roof pitch, roofline, gutter position and drainage requirements can vary from one home to another.

That's why gutter protection shouldn't necessarily force every home into exactly the same configuration.

A system with installation flexibility can be positioned based on the home's actual roof and gutter setup.

6. Strength and Support

Your gutter guard isn't only exposed to leaves.

It's part of an exterior system that faces rain, wind, snow, ice, temperature changes and Kansas City weather year after year.

When comparing systems, look beyond the visible surface.

How is the gutter guard constructed? How is it supported? And is the entire system designed for long-term exterior exposure?

7. Roof-Friendly Installation

A gutter guard shouldn't create another problem while solving your gutter problem.

Ask how the system is installed around the roofline and whether the installation method unnecessarily alters or interferes with the roof.

8. Professional Installation, Warranty & Company Reputation

The product is only part of what you're buying.

Who installs it matters too.

Proper gutter protection requires more than attaching a product to the house. Gutter size, pitch, downspouts, roof runoff, and water movement all need to be considered.

And because you're purchasing something intended to protect your home for years, ask another important question:

Who will be there if you need help later?

Now See How Advantage Gutter Guard® Measures Up

Advantage Gutter Guard® wasn't designed around just one of those features.

The entire system is designed to work together.

Solid-Cover Protection

The solid top helps prevent leaves, sticks and other debris from entering your gutters and creating clogs.

Nose-Forward Geometry

5-Inch & 6-Inch Gutter Options

The system can be paired with properly sized gutters and downspouts based on the needs of the home.

Two-Piece Customizable Design

Rather than combining the gutter and cover into one fixed configuration, the two-piece design provides installation flexibility for different roof and gutter conditions.

Heavy-Duty Support

The system is constructed with strength and long-term exterior performance in mind.

Roof-Friendly Installation

Advantage Gutter Guard® can be professionally positioned without requiring the system to be permanently attached underneath your shingles.

Lifetime Performance Warranty

Your investment is backed by a warranty designed to give you confidence long after installation day.

More Than a Gutter Guard — It's Part of Your Home's Water-Management System

Your gutter guard doesn't work alone.

Your roof, gutter protection, gutters and downspouts all have to work together to move rainwater away from your home.

That's why we don't believe the best gutter protection should simply cover the top of a gutter.

It should allow the entire gutter system to do its job.

Keep debris out.

Get rainwater in.

Move water away from the home.

That's the thinking behind Advantage Gutter Guard®.
