Do I Really Need Gutter Protection?
Consider The Alternatives...
1. Do Nothing
The option of “Doing Nothing”
will likely result in “Expensive Damage and Repairs”.
Clogged Gutters are responsible for
costly damage to homes, such as: rotting
fascia boards, water damage to interior walls and ceilings, surface erosion
around
the home, wet basements, cracked foundations. As a result we suggest
using a gutter protection system or gutter guard.
2.
Regular Gutter Cleaning
Cleaning Gutters is Dangerous
Work - Working from ladders or on the roof is dangerous. In the U.S.,
more than 500,000 people
are treated for ladder related injuries each year.
Gutter protection helps maintain clean, flowing gutters and can reduce time
spent
on ladders and the associated risks.
Cleaning Gutters is
Expensive! - If you are paying someone to clean your gutters, you could
purchase and install the LeafBlox
simple gutter guard for about the
price of 2 – 3 gutter cleaning bills.

F.A.Q.
How can the LeafBlox Gutter Guard be so
effective and inexpensive at the same time?
The simple design and quality manufacturing allows the
LeafBlox Gutter Guard to be installed quickly and hassle-free. The
LeafBlox Gutter Guard system is the best solution because it is based on
a simple premise that prevents your rain gutter from clogging and does
not affect the capacity of the rain gutter to carry torrential rainfall
runoff. There is no complicated assembly of the LeafBlox Gutter Guard
system, no touching of roof material, no holes or fasteners are placed
in or on your home’s roof, fascia or rain gutters. This means the
LeafBlox can be purchased and installed for a small fraction of the cost
of other, more complicated rain gutter protection devices. Plus, if the
LeafBlox Gutter Guard ever requires maintenance, the system is easily
and quickly removed and re-installed with no damage to your valuable
home. The simple yet incredibly effective design of the LeafBlox Gutter
How do I know
what size LeafBlox Gutter Guard I need?
Measure your rain gutter opening from the back of the
rain gutter to the front lip: 5 inch = Standard,
6 inch = Oversized.

|
An oversized gutter requires a bigger LeafBlox specifically
designed for 6" gutters. Oversized LeafBlox is available for a
small up-charge. |
|
Will I still need to clean my rain
gutters or the LeafBlox Gutter Guard after installation? If so how do I
clean them?
Your rain gutters will remain clear and flowing after the
installation of LeafBlox Gutter Guard. However, if you ever do need to
address gutter debris or a trouble spot, cleaning your rain gutters
becomes as easy as removing a section of the LeafBlox Gutter Guard and
giving it a quick shake or a brush with your hand.
Gutter covers are large and unsightly.
Is the LeafBlox Gutter Guard visible from the ground and will the gutter
guard take away from the look of my home?
Although we think our product is the best on the market, we also believe
it best if you never see it working. The LeafBlox Gutter Guard is
manufactured of the highest quality materials that contribute to its
low-profile application that keeps your rain gutters clean while
remaining almost undetectable from ground level. For example, in lower
level gutters you may just see the tips of the Gutter Guard bristles and
in rain gutters 10-12 feet off of the ground the LeafBlox Gutter Guard
will not be visible.
