No. Solid gutter covers do NOT work. Action Gutter has been in the Georgia gutter cleaning business for over a decade, and despite examining every covered system currently available we have yet to find a covered gutter system that is not flawed.
Why Don’t Gutter Covers Work?
Smaller debris gets into the gutter or fills the narrow opening and causes clogs and overflows. Approximately every 3 weeks we tear down these overpriced, clogged, usually not cleanable systems to install new gutters for frustrated customers.
Are Gutter Covers Cost Efficient?
These covers can cost over $13-21.00 per foot compared to gutter guards at around $2.00-3.50 per foot. Every time I see the Mall or Costco display for these flawed systems with the “hardest flow in 100 years” I cringe, because the area drained is only a few square feet.
Every house is different in its drainage needs and a mall display cannot fairly represent the differing square footages of roof area drained.
