I had the Gutterglove Pro installed, it has more support than the Costco. After five years, the system is working well. I am too old to be installing gutters or cleaning them.
Can’t you just tuck the end screen inside the cutter. Not sure I like the look of the mesh outside and screwed. Also, using the tape might make any future maintenance a nightmare.
Great work! Thanks for sharing. Got a few questions for ya, 1) What drills size did you use to bolt them with? 2) How many pieces did you use for the 70 feet again? Mine is 155 altogether and wanted to ask before buying them. Thanks man!
Should those gutter guards be removed prior to replacing shingles? I would hate for them to be damaged in the process. Though, I would also hate to remove and reinstall the guards after the roofing is done!
@@livingaboard You are correct! I installed the same covers (but from Home Depot), 4 years ago and they are great! But, you do have to blow them off with a blower every year or so.
Well I just went to install my Gutter Guards and they shorted me an inch. They are not 4 foot in length. They are 47 inches. Now all my calculations are off.
Not so easy for 3 in gutters. Need a sheet rock 8 in blade to slip under the shingle course, to insert the extra depth of the guard under at each section. Hammer, drill, acohol, screws, sheet metal cutters. Even with slipping them under the shingles u still need to bend/cup the mesh to meet the gutter edge. About 10-15 mins per section on a 60 deg plus day.
@@THEMIDNIGHTCHOPPERMy roof also has a fairly steep pitch. Finished my last 40 ft section yesterday with low 60 deg temps. Actually went in a lot better since the shingle tar stayed separated. Tended to stick back down during install process during 75 plus deg weather.
Very good price. I could install them. The material looked like it would filter the water great AND the stupid leaves wouldn’t get caught up in the metal. So far so good. The company even sent me an extra box ($60 value) because one piece was a little torn. 100% worth it.
I only watched 1 second of this video then stopped it... what is with people on TH-cam when they make a video not getting to the point... I didn't click on this video to watch you set up your ladder instead why don't you just jump right to the install....
The ends should be tucked inside the gutter, as previously mentioned by someone else.
Says who ?

Gotcha
Wondering what snips you’re using. I’m having trouble making the cuts.
Midwest, I think.

The mesh iS supposed to be tucked inside the gutter per the instructions. Definitely wear gloves, that wire mesh can hurt!
15:54 😂 "aagghhh shit.." we all can relate
How these working out? Was thinking about picking some up and remembered you posted this video on them!
Haha. Dude pretty good. I mean really no issue at all.

I’ll take a look when I get back home. I’m out of state right now. I think that they come with a bit for the self tapping screws.

I have no idea.
Just did the same thing today, nice work!
Hey thanks. It’s amazing but have much better water flow and drainage now.
The downside of using tape is that you won’t be able to check if the gutters require cleaning. Nice work though!
Yea it’ll be alright.
Excellent video. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks
You must of seen by now the tests done that show that half the water goes over the guard on the ground and not in the gutter.
It goes in the gutter, not over.
Yes, if you don’t install them correctly this can happen. That’s why you bend them as necessary so this doesn’t happen and you test it with a hose.

Do you think are they worth it?
Yes

Damn that sucks. Call the company. I called them because some of the guards were torn and they sent me a whole new box.
You always give yourself an allowance on most building supplies you buy
I thought the taped edge went under the shingles.
The directions say you either use the tape or self taping screws to fasten it to the gutters…I think.
Leaffilter overpriced! High-pressure sales tactics... Don't fall into their trap! They pray on the elderly.
That’s why I bought the Costco ones.
Don’t like the way it bows down a bit. Stuff will lay in that and stick
It does have a little dip. But it’s 100x better than original.

Yea it’s not made for 3” gutters

How these guards doing so far?
Real good
Thanks for sharing! What made you want to upgrade to the Costco ones?

@@THEMIDNIGHTCHOPPER Right on. That's awesome customer service.
Can you give us a 1 year update? Thank you.
Work as expected.

I don’t give a fuck what you care about.
