Ultimate Gutter Guard Challenge is our popular YouTube series in which we test gutter guards, on a garage, in tough, real-world conditions. Filmed over 3-years, for each season we tested the most popular gutter guards from the biggest and most popular manufacturers in the industry. The gutter guards were tested for one year.
We tested 22 gutter guards, including LeafFilter, MasterShield, Gutterglove Pro (old version), LeafSolution, LeaFree, MicroMax (formerly known as GutterLove), HomeCraft, Clean Mesh, Valor, All-American Gutter Protection, Gutter Rx, Shur-flo and Englert. We also tested newer gutter covers such as RainDrop and HydroFlo, as well as several DIY gutter guards sold at big box chain stores.
This in-depth series showcases how each gutter guard performs during spring, summer, fall and winter. If researching and looking for the best gutter guards has become a daunting task, this video series for you.
