I gave these great gutter guards four stars because not everyone will be able to install them on their own. While easy for the mechanically inclined, working on a ladder is not for everyone. So four stars for that reason. Otherwise, this is definitely a five star product! I had four runs to do. Two boxes of eight pieces created the least amount of waste and, in round numbers, 25 dollars less than the 100 foot quantity. So measure twice, buy once. Then, measure twice and cut once.

I purchased the black anodized ones to melt snow in the winter. In my research, it was suggested that for single story applications like mine that one buy a cheap street broom and mount the handle through the bristles. This way, if needed, you have a way to clean the snow off the gutter covers. This is so ice does not form. However, being black, I think that should not really be a problem. Nonetheless, I have seen things go crazy in the Northeast winters. Things you think you do not need to plan for can happen and then you may have a real job on your hands to correct. So, better to plan for something and not need what you buy than not to plan for it and need it like this reverse broom idea.

After I did the first two of four runs, we got a real soaker rain storm. It came down so hard I heard the rain fall on the roof over my air conditioner fan noise. When I looked out my front door, there was no run over from the gutter covers. Whe I opened the front door, there was a strong water flow sound and zero dripping, and no overflow.

The next day, I finished the remaining two runs and we got more rain in copious amounts! It rained so hard, the rain looked like fog! The gutter covers processed even that much rain! No heavy dripping and no overruns.

I expected to see water flowing over the edge, overrun, but nothing! That sold me 100 percent on this product. I am already recommending it to others that may benefit from this product. Even if you have a two-story house. Do this once and never climb up that high on a ladder again for many years to come.

I have also included a phone photo that shows how a gutter cover run should look when finished. As per the instructions, three screws along the front gutter cover lip and two in the back through the fascia board. Then keep adding 4 foot pieces until you reach the end of the gutter. If you have a short empty space, or any length to cover, you then cut a 4 foot piece to fit. The remaining gutter guard length, after being cut, will serve for other short spaces that will need to be covered to complete any total covering of a gutter run. See my photo of 8 feet of covered gutter to see how it should look when complete.

The product was of high quality and easy to install. Just as advertised.

After reading through the reviews, I'd like to clear some things up. I ordered 2 sets of these, 1x in white (32 ft) and 1x in black (100 ft). The gutter guards arrived fully in tact without dents or anything missing (bit, screws, etc.). They were very easy to install on my brand new shingled roof (08/24/2023). Took about 3 hours to install on 2 different roofs of my 1880s American Federal Style Historic home. Since installation, I've had multiple heavy rain storm here in Upstate NY and I must say, these gutter guards work like a charm! Cutting them to create a 90 angle was simple using aviation snips. Note: My photo(s) was taken during installation so disregard the part(s) that are not secured yet!

Just installed these today. Easy install. Self tapping screws were great. Couldn't be happier

Well made,decent gauge steel, is not flimsy. Installation was straight forward. My roof has a drip edge, and some complained about installation being difficult in this scenario. The drip edge becomes an issue when you get to the highest pitch area of your gutter. As some others commented, you may have to gently lift the shingles and drip edge to be able to drive the screws into the facial board. Not a big deal, and was easy to do during a time of day when the roof had been warmed by the sun. Product seems to be solid, a Michigan winter will be the real test.
