Easy On Gutter Guard Review and How To install

Thank you for this informative video. I’m 58 and my s-dad had Parkinson’s for about 5-6 years before he just passed last year. I’ve been trying to keep the house up, cleaning gutters etc for my mom and s-dad. Moms blind. So this was such a great video. I will be installing these guards myself. It looks easy enough. Then I won’t have it so hard cleaning the gutters. Just constantly moving the ladder is enough for me. Cleaning up the mess afterwards takes me out. I finally made a chute out of cardboard into the green waste so I was able to send leaves and beaches fun the chute instead of picking them all up at the end. This will save me even that hassle. Thank you

[@Isitworthitreviews]

I definitely think you can do it yourself. Good luck.

Just a small detail is that the screws provided are NOT stainless and will rust in time, and have to be replaced. I purchased a bag of stainless screws, (not magnetic), so that is no longer an issue.

I watched the video yesterday and today did my shed (first part of three ever-increasingly larger gutter projects. I am NOT a DIY kind of guy, but his step-by-step instructions and tips made this job really easy. I am confident enough with my imperfect but satisfactory first effort to tackle the rest of the project. I'm getting too darn old to get up on ladders twice a year to clean out leaves, twigs and maple helicopters and this will eliminate that unpleasant chore for a very long time. Thanks!

[@Rhaspun]

Same here. I'm 68 and going up and down the ladders many times during the afternoon is becoming tougher to do each year. I noticed that dirt has a possibility of building up. That's about the only advantage of leaving the gutter open. A hard rain leaves my gutters shiny clean.

[@davidstringer2375]

I have a new roof and the end shingle seal is very tight. So the shingles do not lift to slide the guard end under, without force, breaking the shingles seal? Should I force the guard end under anyway?

[@Isitworthitreviews]

@@davidstringer2375 Thats a tough one.. I would try to call the company on that one.. I don't want to tell you something that will end up breaking your roof.

[@dennisgarcia5511]

Nicely done video and worth a watch for sure! One quick observation and solution intended to be a helpful "tip", , ,There is a decent amount of "roof grit"/small debris in the gutters after only 7 months. I anticipated this with my install and came up with a "fix". Place a 6 inch piece (only 2 screws needed) of gutter guard over the "high-end", and another 6 inch piece (2 screws) over the "downspout" (low end). Your video shows that trimming the panels together flush is easy and quick. Every few years you might need to run a garden hose (with jet nozzle) into the high-end to blow all that grit/debris into the downspout as you snake it down. Having small 6" panels is so much easier to handle and remove compared to a full size 4 foot panel, , , just a thought.

[@Isitworthitreviews]

I like it! Since I did not set it up that way I will prob just take off the last segment (which is why its important not to use the adhesive and instead use the screws.. Thanks for watching!

[@jimlafrance9546]

Useful tip.

[@janicehamilton3891]

[@JohnBGood-kq3ul]

[@joq702]

EXCELLENT SUGGESTION. I also have an easy access point for using a hose with a nice nozzle end that I can weave down into the gutter troughs. I use some flexible pen tubing zip tied to the hose and nit keeps it stiff as I feed it into the trough. Nothing works as well as this method, in my experience., Main point, have a service access point (or points) on your installation that you can access anytime.

This was a great video - really well done and very helpful. The most helpful part for me was the recommendation to cut a little of the mesh out on each screen in the lower corner so that the sections can snug up to each other better. I did not think of this when I did my first install (on our stand-alone garage) a couple of years ago and your video was not available at that time. I just bought some more of the gutter guards to install on our home gutters and I found your video. This tip was so helpful and definitely made a difference in the quality of my installation this time. I'm proud of the installation on our home and am thankful for this tip. Nice job! I really think that the manufacturer should either make the guards with this cut-out, or put your suggested method in the instructions! Thank you for sharing this important tip.

Good vid thanks! All my shingles were on so well I needed to use an 8 in drywall mud blade to get underneath the shingles to allow each guard to slip underneath.

[@jacksprat1124]

[@joq702]

Really well done, nice demonstration, information, real-time installation on standard 5 inch K style gutters on a real home that is seasonally getting tree debris.. I think it is also important you showed realistic conditions of having used the cheap plastic/vinyl ones. That’s what I see a lot of also. I am always wondering why you want a dip though on the new ones you installed. Your angle you installed to me is really great because your roof is not too severely pitched (I agree if the roof is severely pitched, you need something to slow down the water a bit to allow more fractional time (as the water flows downward) into the troughs. On normal pitched roofs or flatter pitched roofs, I like the natural angle andI just do not like the dipped in portion, personally. It seems to me the only real purpose of the suggestion to bend in (slightly) a dip at the front edge is to slow down the flow of water so there is little run-over (over the top of the gutter screens when it rains fast and hard). In my work of gutter cleaning I see the dips as a channel which typically collects and accumulates (quicker) aggregate and tree debris like pine needles and other smaller seasonal tree debris that is more difficult to simply blow or roll off. One thing for sure as you all are aware - you still need to check your gutter screens once a year (just the tops of them and how they are or are not collecting debris that sits on the top and prevents water from entering the troughs). A tool to lightly brush and blow off the debris is worthwhile. I modified a cob-web tool on a 16’ pole to do my own. It screws onto the end of my extendable pole and I just lightly brush off. To know the conditions without getting on a ladder (what’s up there on your screens seasonably) you can do a simple diy and place a small and cheap mirror from Walmart on the same extendable pole such that the mirror is pointed downward and can be angled. You guys and ladies can figure out how to use 90 degree 1” or 1 1/4” PVC conduit from Lowes to do that. I use that with another piece of pVC plumbing that allows me to pivot and angle the mirror. CAUTION: If I see someone patenting this claiming they came up with this, I know I will be sure to show pics of me using mine from at least 3 years ago now.

[@Isitworthitreviews]

First, thanks so much for watching.. Honestly I think on the roof that I showed the dip really would not be needed. But, on a steeper pitch like my main roof the company recommends it, I assume to ensure the water doesn't rush right over on the steeper incline.. You are still getting the benefit of gravity so you might be ok without the dip but, I think the dip does ensure water won't rush over and if I am installing on a more pitched surface I would be sure to do it. Great recommendation on the tool to check btw.. I will go up once per year at take a look under the guards as well.

I read the pamphlet that comes with the gutter guards. For those asking about corners, the instructions with pictures are there. Also, when joining sections, it states; Lay one end of the mesh so it overlaps directly over the other section. Note: The rear rail has more exposed mesh than the front rail. This is intentional. (Therefore, all the extra snipping to butt up where the guards are straight and not at the end or corners isn't necessary.) I'm thinking the older guards didn't have this overlay and now they do.

[@Isitworthitreviews]

Great point. It is not much different from doing the ends that I showed.

[@richards5843]

I installed guards on my brothers house. Costco had them on sale. I wonder in heavy rains if the water will run over the gutters? Great video thou.

[@Isitworthitreviews]

Thank you for watching.. so far I have not had any issues.. and I have had some very heavy rainfall storms roll through

[@mikedunn7795]

Excellent video. A couple of thoughts. The gutter guard that worked was the micromesh type. You have them on at the same pitch as the roof,which I have read is *vital* ( if the guards are horizontal,or near so,they will collect debris like a shelf,and stop draining water). And finally,why on earth do you have a downspout strainer? Whatever grit that got through would not be significant,and would only be impeded by the strainer when going down the downspout. One final tip. I have shirts with breast pockets,and if I have to carry a bunch of screws up a ladder,I put a rare earth magnet in the shirt pocket,and plaster the screws on the shirt over the magnet,and pull them off as needed.

[@Isitworthitreviews]

First, thank you so much for the kind words and watching the video! Second, I LOVE the idea of the magnet in the pocket.. thats genius!!! Can you recommend a specific magnet and where to buy it? The strainer probably is silly.. I am considering removing it for the reason you mentioned.. I guess I just have PTSD from my last gutter system.. As far as the pitch is concerned I don't think it has to be exactly the same as the roof but it should definitely be pitched.. That steeper the pitch the more vital that little valley you create by bending it is so the water does not just run off during heavy rain.

Nice work & great advice! One observation, if you don't have the type gutter with a wide flat surface to anchor with the self tapping screws, and you prefer using the adhesive strip to secure in place, you can remove them using a heat gun to free the adhesive. you can buy a roll of 3M adhesive from many sources to reinstall them.

You’re forgetting that if you needed to reinstall, you could always just use the screws.

[@nokieng6502]

If you know that you will need to reinstall them, then I think it kind of makes sense to use the screws in the first place, right? Removing the adhesive will probably take longer than installing the gutter guards in the first place 👍. And using a heat gun while on a ladder?🧐🧐🤣😵‍💫😖. Haven’t seen any rain gutters that didn’t have a flat lip in the front for the edge of the gutter guard to clip/screw onto.

[@dennisgibbs5708]

Your video here is very good! One of the advertised “GutterLeafGuard” problems/complaints was when rain water freezes on cold days (32 degrees or less), the next rain will run over flow over the gutter guards and then onto the ground! This causes problems. Have you heard about this problem?

[@Isitworthitreviews]

I think if it is draining correctly this should not happen. The water should go right into your gutter and then down your downspout. If water is pooling long enough to freeze I would assume there is a blockage.

[@randyk4482]

I actually had done my gutters using the same product last summer but was looking for a video that showed a method. He just bought a house a block away and it needs these guards. Your method was almost exactly like mine though I overlapped the adjoining ends a bit longer than you did. We don’t get ice or snow here in south central Texas but lots of small oak leafs and oak tassels and these have worked super.

Gosh, my daughter and I put these gutter guards on our home. Using tin snips was very difficult in sizing these to fit. Sometimes the gutter guards would be snipped, sometimes snipping was so difficult, we ended up snipping and bending back and forth to break the metal. The mesh was easy to cut.

[@Isitworthitreviews]

My guess (and this is only a guess) you need a higher end pair of tin snips. For me it wasn't necessarily incredibly easy like cutting paper. But, I did not find it overly difficult. How did your project turn out?

[@nokieng6502]

I have high quality tinsnips, but it’s very hard to cut the aluminum channels after awhile. These are the solid metal pieces. What I did instead was to use my jigsaw with a metal cutting blade. Makes it super easy. you don’t overcut into the mesh. You also do not distort the solid metal as you would using tin snips.

Thanks!! Well check them out!

[@BrianJackson-f2l]

I do believe the ones you’re focusing on are superior to the white plastic ones; however, I do believe the white plastic ones es are good. I snip one side of each at the lip only about an inch. This way I have a 1-inch overlap that cannot be seen. The lips are still flush. I then use stainless steel pan head screws on each side. Then the lip wont come loose from the gutter where it snaps into. I’ve seen them on a 15 year old install and only the mesh was deteriorating a lot from the Elements. For the price and how easy they are to install…. Totally worth it.

[@Isitworthitreviews]

That was my biggest issue with the white ones.. that mesh would deteriorate and even start to pull away. The metal ones just seem so much more sturdy to me. But hey, for a garage or a shed I could totally see using the white plastic ones.

I agree that these types of gutter guards do a great job of filtering out small debris like pine needles, dirt, leaf buds, berries etc. I have found that the trade off is that this type of debris sits on top of the gutter guard and clogs the micromesh. Because of the debris on top and how small the micromesh is and the steep pitch of your roof I think you’re at risk of the gutter guards being overwhelmed by heavy rains in which case the rain water overflows the edge of your gutter and you’re at risk of the water leaking into your basement. It would have been really helpful to see a video of things in action and footage during a hard rain to see whether the gutter guards restrict the water to the point of causing overflow over the sides of your gutter. I understand no one wants to take video high up on a ladder in a pouring rain and subject their phone or go pro from being ruined but that’s the real test.

[@Isitworthitreviews]

I can see your point. I can say that on my lower roof I have seen some pine needles that do tend to stay on the lower part of the gutter guards (never fully covering it) but that is only on my lower roof which roof to gutter is very low slope so the gutter guard is close to being flat.. On my higher roofs the slope is much greater. On those I do not see any debris that stay on the gutter guard. I would anticipate on others higher roofs this would also be the situation. The company does also offer a brush on an adjustable pole for cleaning debris.

I just ordered mine from HD. Thanks for the great video. Great tip about cutting the mesh to allow them to butt together better. Didn't see that on other videos.

[@markengledow5792]

Good video!! Excellent explanation & demo. Question - having a concave dip at the drip edge, versus a rounded out convex surface would seem to catch & hold a lot of debris in the dip. Any idea why the manufacturer would include the concave dip? Thanks, High Country Mark

[@Isitworthitreviews]

Thanks for watching Mark. I think the dip is to ensure the water does not flow over the gutter guard. There will be a little debris on the surface. The manufacturer does offer a free brush with an extension handle for this issue. I have not gotten around to ordering that though. As far as the rounded edge vs the dip I guess it comes down to installation and user choice. Not really sure why they chose one way over the other.

[@jaycathedral9079]

@@Isitworthitreviews I think the reason is so that water "pools" slightly during heavy rain and will slowly edge up the screen but still fall into the gutter. If there is no dip, the water may overflow over the edge of the gutter and fall directly down to the ground and not go into the downspout and thus allowing water to flow away from the house.

[@terryroemer361]

Would like to have seen a corner joint install.

[@Isitworthitreviews]

I did not have a corner on my house to show. I would handle it very much like the ends. Cut off the hard metal ends on one of the runs and overlap the metal mesh onto the other run.

[@watchthisusa]

[@LorraineHespell]

I just received my box of easy on gutter guard. I called the company to ask where the magnetic drill bit was since it was not in my package. Disappointed to hear they are not providing the magnetic drill bit anymore. I need to go buy one but completely not sure of size or what exactly it is called. Sorry I am so clueless any help with information of what I need to ask for is greatly appreciated. You video was awesome!

[@Isitworthitreviews]

Thanks so much for watching... That is disappointing to hear that they no longer include the magnetic drill bit. I am wondering if that is just the Costco package that does as usually there has to be a kind of "value add" with warehouse clubs. When I get home I will check to see if I can see the size of the bit. You CAN use a non magnetic one but the magnetic bit does make life easier (and safer when on the ladder).

[@LorraineHespell]

@@Isitworthitreviews Thanks replying I am impressed that you continue to reply 2 years after making this video, that is wonderful and so nice of you. Yes I did buy them from Costco. In the Costco box is a bonus offer for a free gutter guard brush after you register your product, you have to pay for shipping and handling (it was $4.99 or $5.99). I just measured the head of the screws and I believe I need a quarter inch bit. Thanks

[@dnaka723]

Great video. One question, how did this product handle heavy rain? Did all water flow into the gutter?

[@Isitworthitreviews]

It has handled heavy rain very well so far. I have not seen the water going over the gutters. TBH I have not been specifically looking for this but, it has been some time since I installed these and I have not seen this.

[@MonicaFabrizio-qp7qv]

I thought this was a great video. However, my main concern is ice damning in the winter. Raising the shingle to slide the metal screen underneath gives me significant pause. You might want to tell viewers to make sure that the roof has a rubber ice barrier 2/3 feet up from roof edge before installing to prevent leak or damage issues. Should be SOP with roof shingle installs, but, in warmer climates not always the case. Otherwise, great presentation. Thanks.

[@michaellindsey7753]

Great, easy to follow video. Thank you.

[@Isitworthitreviews]

[@charlescabana7849]

I have two corners in my gutter. Wondering how to do that.

[@Isitworthitreviews]

Luckily I did not have any turns. But, if I did, I would imagine I would treat it similar to how I treated the edge. That is for the portion that would overlap I would most likely cut off the bottom and top solid metal pieces and just let that metal mesh overlap the turn.

[@edwardvigil9557]

Excellent video and very educational and all the questions I had were answered. Thank you.

[@Isitworthitreviews]

Thank you for watching Edward!

[@juliedeane9541]

Will a regular drill work? I don’t have an impact driver available right now

[@Isitworthitreviews]

I think it will work.. just not as well.. Get an impact driver they are a great help. But, I do think you can get by if you have to with just a drill.

[@rafaeldiazus]

Great instructions. Thanks for taking the time and effort to show us.

[@Isitworthitreviews]

Thank you for watching!

[@jabojr5171]

Thank you for the video and the recommendation. Question: why didn't you overlap the pieces and just use one screw to pull them together??

[@Isitworthitreviews]

Hm, I guess you *could* do that.. the only negative I would see is creating a little bit of a gap at the overlap point. And also using more material... but I think it could work..

[@jabojr5171]

Thank you and again, thank you for the video, I will be using this product.

[@chex313]

That would scare the crap out of me to use my extension ladder like that. I want it to be at least 2 or 3' above the gutters. I do like the guards though and I'll switch to them. I have had great luck with plastic ones that are on the N side of my house. Without the sun on them they stay locked on. The front ones squirrels knock out of place. I have a combination on the front of aluminum and plastic but I am getting too old to climb a ladder every year to check them. Never seen the bolts before. Seeing the shingle gravel tho, I like to clean that out every year.

[@Isitworthitreviews]

Completely agree on the shingle gravel. I still clean my gutters about every other year... I just made a video showing how to make a hose extension to a wet/dry vac so you can clean them easier.

[@SuzanneMcCotter-j6n]

My daughter and I successfully installed gutter guards on the longest lowest run of gutters on my house a year ago 6:48 . I hired out the higher gutters and after two months the screws are popped up and the guards loose. Could the 110 degree weather during install have caused that or did the “professional” just miss the flat gutter edge? Frustrated!!

[@Isitworthitreviews]

I don't think the temps had anything to do with that honestly.. perhaps they used crappy screws or did not screw them in properly.. Not sure without seeing it myself but, 110 degrees should not be near enough to allow metal screws to slip out of metal.

[@billycrocker3362]

My home originally, did not have gutters and because of that, there is around 2 to 3 inches of shingle bent and hanging over into the 6" gutter. Should I trim the excess or try and bend it upwards?

[@Isitworthitreviews]

I am not 100% sure.. but what I would definitely not do is bend it up.. because then you are going to trap water on your roof which is the opposite of what you want to do.

[@TheAloeAccordionGuy]

thanks I am looking to buy this product...

[@michaelgrieco8810]

Couldn’t you slightly pry open the end to allow the mesh from the adjoining piece to slide in, then clamp it down with a pair of pliers?

[@Isitworthitreviews]

Good thought.. that *might* work but I would assume that would be a huge PITA.. and you would have to do it multiple times.... on a ladder.. so for me I would not do it.. but, that would make it even more solid.
