We often get questions from potential customers who are trying to work out the best gutter protection for their situation. Here we talk about how to deal with wood shake roofs.
I'm considering installing a Perforated Metal Gutter Guard on my home gutters. I have a wood shake roof and trees with leaves but no pine needles.

Do I need to be concerned about debris getting through the holes?
A. Absolutely. The measure of a gutter guard’s effectiveness will be the warranty provided by the manufacturer. Some products offer warranties on the material only and nothing on performance, while others offer it on performance and material.
I would select a gutter guard from a manufacture that includes a performance warranty. This means the gutters will be professionally cleaned at the manufacturer's expense if they clog or they will offer a money-back guarantee.
