I got a quote on a gutter install and decided I would skip the install of a gutter guard and install a Gutter brush myself. (Of course, I'm sure I'm in the majority who gets an upsell to do the roof after the salesman checks things out.) I researched a little and I came a cross these Amazon Recommended A-M Gutter Guards, which were $100 cheaper than the Gutter Brush, and, more importantly, were designed to eliminate the need for annual cleaning for most people. I knew it was going to be a little more work having to screw them in, but the long term rewards would make it worth it. I really don't like going up on a ladder, and my yard is uneven making it all that more difficult. Plus, I'm getting up there in age at 67, so I want to go up there as little as possible.

My original plan was to install these while on the roof, but it was really hard to see what was going on in that position. The first section I tried would not go in place. So, I moved the ladder under the gutter, and the problem was that the roofers forgot to screw in one of the gutter mounts. I could not see that from above. So, at that point, I decided to do the whole job from the ladder.

Everything, for the most part, went well. I went left to right, front of the house to the back. The final few feet of my gutter were a little tight for some reason, so I had to cut down the width of the gutter guard to get it to fit in place. The aluminum is easy to work with and I was able to cut it to size with tin snips. It was getting a little hot out and I was pretty exhausted, so I'm thinking I might give it another go at another time. I have plenty of spare panels that I can work with, AAMOF, I think they give you a few extra panels, which is nice.

I ordered these on Saturday, the day after my roof and gutters were installed, and Amazon delivered them to me on Sunday, with the screws I ordered, when both of these items were expected to be delivered the next Friday. Very nice of them! Since I do not have prime. So, I was able to start work at 8:30 AM on Monday, Labor Day and I was done at about 11:30 AM.

I was prepared to use the A-M Gutter Guard Screws and magnetic Driver just to use the recommended product. But, apparently they are out of stock since it would have shipped a week later than the gutter guards. So, I followed some of the recommendations here in these reviews and ordered them as well.
"120PCS #8 x 1/2'' Sheet Metal Screws 410 Stainless Steel Hex Washer Head Fast Self Tapping Screws with Screwdriver Bit Silver" https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BWN392S9?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1 (Includes a 7mm magnetic driver which works great.)

Overall, I highly recommend these gutter guards. They are strong enough for whatever Mother Nature may throw at them and flexible enough to be reworked for the areas that might not be exactly as expected. And, they are cheaper than Gutter Brushes, which have to be cleaned out annually (at a minimum). At my age, I'm hoping I can avoid ever having to go up on a ladder again.

Just got my guards installed. They were super easy to install and appear to be the answer to my leaf and debris problem in the gutters. Will add more to my review after time passes and I see how they fare.

I Purchase these gutters because I had called Leaf Gutters to come to work at my house and finding out the price of gutters were $5000. I just told them just put the gutters up for 3000 and I'll find the leaf guards from Amazon I purchasing these got them from Amazon 5 inch perfect fit I couldn't be more happier. I cut the cost down $2000 I found that Leaf Gutters were too expensive when you can do it yourself
I just know that these companies out there brothers that just do gutters and all those other gutter companies are way too high in their prices. It's a simple job and you can do it yourself these leaf guards that I bought from Amazon were a perfect fit, and it made the job even easier

I have 6" gutters and have wanted gutter guards/covers installed for years. Finally pulled the trigger after realizing the cost of someone doing it was terribly out of the range I wished to spend.

My gutters bother me twice a year. Once in spring, after the helicopters and those stringy oak things that come raining down from everyone else's trees, then in the late late fall due to all the leaves.

After reviewing so many utube vids and amazon reviews, I picked these to go with. I first ordered a sample pack and made certain the 6" sample would fit my gutters.

I ordered 200 feet and the package delivered by UPS was a bit battered. I had a couple bent guards, but they are easily bent back into shape, so no big deal there. There was also a deal going on with a couple screw packs that would save me 8 bucks. Glad I did it.

Don't expect your roof to look like all the pics in the reviews. Don't expect the drip edge to be exact in every spot. Don't expect the gutter guard to be "perfect" in every spot. I did my danged best to get them straight as I could, but I could only install on top of the drip edge in the back of my house. The rest of the house it wasn't possible. They did go nicely behind the drip edge and I put a couple support screws on the back here and there as necessary.

Some spots didn't have enough "hanger support" holding up the gutter guard. That's where I had small dips in a couple spots. I'm not going to worry too much about it though. I spent two weekends putting these things on, primarily because I was perplexed by how hard it had become to get the guards to install in front of the edge, a bad shoulder, and the blazing hot sun. But, it's finished now. If all I have to do this fall/spring is wipe the guards off with an extension pole and a wiper of sorts, I'll be happy. No ladder.

I'll update the review after I find out how well they work. Also, DO wear some gloves for hand protection. Have some good tin snips and if you have a Dremel with a cutting wheel, use it! Naproxen for the knees may help for you older people going up and down the ladder.

I live in the Northwest. I have a tri-level house (high gutters) with tree leaves that clog the gutters. I wanted a permanent solution with guards that would keep leaves from piling on top . I researched gutter guards on Amazon and on independent websites. A-M was mentioned more often than most. I ordered the sample product, ordered 170 foot of 5 inch .This summer I hired someone to clean, repair and install the guards. He told me I mis measured the width of the gutters. They were closer to 4 inches wide.

**This is important**There are very few 4 inch gutter guards on the market and nothing like A-M****My installer was able to trim the back flange and then install the guards easily****.

It hasn't rained yet but I'm confident that based on the material and the design (raised ridges and tight drain hole pattern) , even with the additional trimming (if necessary) , this is the best and most economical of all the gutter guards for sale.
