Easy On Gutter Guard Review and How To install
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
In this video I detail why I recommend the Stainless Steel EasyOn Gutter Guard. I also talk about how to make sure you are getting the best price when comparing buying at Costco vs big box hardware stores. I cover the best way to install and show the real life results of using the product for 8 months (through fall and winter) in the North East with many trees in the area.

Thanks so much Frank. I really appreciate that. And thank you for watching!
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.
You just convinced me I can do this project. Great job explaining the process, especially the cuts needed.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
Have viewed a few review videos - like yours the best. To secure the flap of perforated steel between sections, I might use a heavy guage stainless wire like a twist tie (started up from the bottom of one and then through the neighbor and bent over at the top - easy to unbend to dismantle and check inside). Good video - thanks!

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.

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
2 жыл бұрын
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
Жыл бұрын
@@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.

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
8 ай бұрын
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.

Personally I put it under the shingles but, not on the plywood.. there is a like an adhesive paper (?) stuck on the plywood.. the gutter guards sit on that for me.. I *think* that is the proper way but I am not 100% sure.
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.
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?

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.

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?

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.
Great job, I just installed these today 9/16/22.. was a breeze. Wish I had seen your video before though. But almost everything you did, I did. I didn't trim the edges though, but was able to butt them pretty close. Didn't use the adhesive either, same reason. Access...Why did you keep the down spout guard in place on the up high gutter. Seemed as though it was starting to get gummed up with the small debris. But man they were so easy to install.
