Does anyone else have gutter helmets? What is the average cost for house/garage? Do you still need cleanings with them? Any general opinions?
Thanks again

We looked into Gutter Helmet, and Leaf Guard. Either system for our house would run around $1800. The thing we didn't like about either one of these gutter systems, is that the downspouts had to be oversized and looked really klunky. We saw them on neighbors houses, and found them to be an eyesore. We went with a professionally installed leaf filtering system that uses surgical screening, and conventional width downspouts. It seems to be worked very well through this winter and this past autumn. However, since we are still waiting for some minor tweeking on the roof, from the installer, I would, at this time, be reluctant to give you a contractor recommendation.
