Easy On Gutter Guard Review and How To install 

An incredibly well-constructed video. Producing a training video--of any kind--is difficult. You have mastered it and helped many homeowners, including me.

You just convinced me I can do this project. Great job explaining the process, especially the cuts needed.

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.

I can thank you enough for showing every little step in detail. nothing is more frustrating than a video that tells you something but they don't show how to do it or they speed it up and you can't see how it's really done. Keep up the good work! These are going on our new gutters before the fall!

After getting a high-pressure sales call and a cost of $6000!!) from a local installer, I've decided to do this. Thanks for the informative video!

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.

Thank you. I've been looking for gutter guard solution and have found nothing I like or trust. Your solution is my solution. Definitely going to do it. Thanks for installation instructions.

Just wanted to say thank you! Bought my easy on gutter guards and had the back of my house done in 3 hours. The tip with notching out the screen so it butts up clean was great. Thanks again!!

Thank you for doing every step and explaining why and how to seal the edges

I watched the video yesterday and today did my shed (first part of three ever-increasingly larger gutter projects. I am NOT a DIY kind of guy, but his step-by-step instructions and tips made this job really easy. I am confident enough with my imperfect but satisfactory first effort to tackle the rest of the project. I'm getting too darn old to get up on ladders twice a year to clean out leaves, twigs and maple helicopters and this will eliminate that unpleasant chore for a very long time. Thanks!

Great job! I will put these on my house and my 3 rental houses! You did an amazing job explaining and would make a great teacher! You did scare the hell out of me when you were up there working though! But you obviously know exactly what u are doing! Thanks! Your friend, Barry

This is one of the best how to videos I've watched on gutter covers. Thanks for your help.

I really appreciate how you showed how to handle the abutment with the next segment of easyon gutter guard.

These worked great for me. They were easy to install and are doing a great job. Far, far, cheaper than the rip off companies advertising on TV.

Great video, very well presented! I will be installing these in the coming weeks on 3 houses and I will definitely use your methods.

Thanks for a great video. I just received my guards from Costco-good price on sale. You answered the install questions I had. Thanks again for a great job.

Great job and very helpful! Whatever ya do, don't go with Leaf Filter. They overcharge by thousands, lie and their warranty is not what they say it is. They got me!!

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.

Good vid thanks! All my shingles were on so well I needed to use an 8 in drywall mud blade to get underneath the shingles to allow each guard to slip underneath. When that is an issue u also need to wait for a warm day to soften the tar underneath a bit for best results. Plus they stick back down better.

Great video, very informative, I like the facts that you explain every steps of the ways. Thank you

I just bought mine and found your video, very well done thanks for all the tips.

I just ordered mine from HD. Thanks for the great video. Great tip about cutting the mesh to allow them to butt together better. Didn't see that on other videos.

Thanks for the detailed video and installation instructions. Just got my Gutters replaced and now I'm looking to put a guard on them myself, this by far looks like the best option other than more expensive products out there or hiring a company to do it

Thank you for your video. I’m a handy homeowner getting ready to do this to a small structure in our yard and this helped me out. I’m getting these from Costco and have to do a bit of a front panel bend to make them work. But they will! Your recommendation to screw them down makes sense, and they trimming advice helped.

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.

Dude, excellent video......very informative without mindless chatter. Good and engaging camera presence too....well done! Thanks for posting!

Doing Mom's house this spring. Looks as easy as I thought

Awesome upload! Have to change my plastic gutter guards to ur product. It looks more effective than mines. Having same problem as urs before. Rubbish accumulates on the gutter guard N there's lots of finer rubbish in the gutter itself. Enjoyed ur step by step n camera angles on how to install ur type of guard. Kudos. New subscriber because of this vid. Anticipating ur next one. Aloha from Hawaii

You certainly are a great presenter. I will be installing the Costco brand soon and will definitely follow your procedure. Thank you for taking the time for clear instruction and very good video

Glad you made this video! Just bought a new ranch style house and didn't want to hire some one to do something I can do, Thank you!!!

Thank you I did two houses after watching your video!

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.

Great video! I liked that you cut to the chase with your evaluation at the beginning and then also showed how they worked over time. Thanks a bunch!

Excellent presenter, very complete how-to video. I do have lots of tree fallout. I'll trial this product on a segment of gutter and see how it goes--currently using Gutter Dogs (long-spire brush segments) which are helpful; but I'm still cleaning the gutters several times during Fall... (And, no, those plastic segments don't stay on well!)

Nice work & great advice! 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.

Very helpful instruction. Thanks a lot!

LOOKS SO EASY… who knows maybe I can do it myself😅 Great video

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!

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.

You convinced me. Hopefully my Costco will have them again.

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.

My Plastic P.O.S. gutter guards are coming off this week and Installing there's ........thanks for the great video !

impressive start with an upfront recommendation! very good instructions on installation. many thanks for the video.

great details explained so anyone should have little trouble understanding the task ahead.Thank You

Thank you for your personal reply.

Great video, all good content no BS "fill chatter", with great examples, explained well! Thank you!

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.

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?

Thanks for the video! You answered all my questions on installation!

Gosh, my daughter and I put these gutter guards on our home. Using tin snips was very difficult in sizing these to fit. Sometimes the gutter guards would be snipped, sometimes snipping was so difficult, we ended up snipping and bending back and forth to break the metal. The mesh was easy to cut.

Excellent video. A couple of thoughts. The gutter guard that worked was the micromesh type. You have them on at the same pitch as the roof,which I have read is *vital* ( if the guards are horizontal,or near so,they will collect debris like a shelf,and stop draining water). And finally,why on earth do you have a downspout strainer? Whatever grit that got through would not be significant,and would only be impeded by the strainer when going down the downspout. One final tip. I have shirts with breast pockets,and if I have to carry a bunch of screws up a ladder,I put a rare earth magnet in the shirt pocket,and plaster the screws on the shirt over the magnet,and pull them off as needed.

Thk for showing specific details for fit

Thanks for the great demo and tips. Very informative and thorough. Perhaps next time you could show us how you do inside and outside corners?

Thank you for taking the time to make this video!

Good video. I noticed you still used the drain filters even with the gutter guards in place.

Nicely done! Not an easy thing to record and do this kind of job…Very informative👋👋

Very well done. Answered all my questions and helped me feel confident about my installation. Thanks.

Thankyou I'm so happy to see your video it's very thoughtful and clearly detailed. Watching you on recording a video upon the ladder and exploring your thoughts .I am interested on working my home now .Thanks

Good video but you would think for the price of these things there should be a mechanical connection between sections not cut and stuff.

This is good but if you live in a high wind velocity zone in FL your shingles will will be stuck to the decking with peel and stick underlayment. . If you pry them up with a bar you void the warranty and also severely reduce the ability to withstand a large storm or hurricane.

You should take the guard sticking down the downspout, out. Then the little bit you do get in you your gutter will flush down the downspout when it rains, or it will build up and clog the downspout. Been doing roofing for 49 years. I do like this product.

I installed guards on my brothers house. Costco had them on sale. I wonder in heavy rains if the water will run over the gutters? Great video thou.

Great instructions. Thanks for taking the time and effort to show us.

Great job of demonstrating how to install the gutter guards. One question though...would I have to take the gutter guards down to re-shingle my roof? I'd really prefer not to...lol. Your thoughts

Very nice and clear presentation. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for this video! I almost installed the exact same plastic ones you showed earlier in the video. These look like they are much better quality and appear to be much more effective. One question: how do you get your Christmas lights onto your gutters now lol? I’m mostly kidding, but we do a nice Christmas light display every year and I use the clips for the gutters. Anyway, I’m going to grab some of these guards and get them installed. I just spent two days cleaning out my gutters having never done it in the last 10 years! Thx again!

I just installed them, need to spray test them now, thanks

Thanks. This is the best video on this product.

Great, easy to follow video. Thank you.

I just received my box of easy on gutter guard. I called the company to ask where the magnetic drill bit was since it was not in my package. Disappointed to hear they are not providing the magnetic drill bit anymore. I need to go buy one but completely not sure of size or what exactly it is called. Sorry I am so clueless any help with information of what I need to ask for is greatly appreciated. You video was awesome!

You did a first class install. I did mine before watching this of course and was not near as precision with the ends like you but come on, I will be dead before enough debris gets in to clog anything up compared to no guard at all. I also used the sticky strip as I don't plan on messing with them ever again hopefully. I'm an older guy so my time is limited and again by the time it becomes an issue I will be to old to give a crap if I'm even still around.

Excellent instructional video! Very helpful indeed.

Nice presentation. You did a good job of presenting the steps. I subscribed; be interested in whatever you do next.

Good video!! Excellent explanation & demo. Question - having a concave dip at the drip edge, versus a rounded out convex surface would seem to catch & hold a lot of debris in the dip. Any idea why the manufacturer would include the concave dip? Thanks, High Country Mark

thanks I am looking to buy this product...

Putting a strainer in the down spout opening simply becomes a plug. You could see the build up around the strainer. This debris will be flushed away by rain fall. Never put a strainer in the down spout. This is a descent screen, but the mesh opening is too small to collect heavy rain falls. Oh yes, they will keep out leaves, twigs, acorns...also water. You have gutters on you home for one reason, to collect and carry away water...

Excellent instruction video, good job.

Great job explaining this and informative. Thanks!

You don't have to cut the mesh between the pieces to get them to butt up to each other. Just do not put the last screw in until you have them together. Tuck the one under the other. You want it to overlap. That's why it's made that way.

I really appreciate the job you did with this instructional video, it was very helpful to me thank you.

Excellent video and very educational and all the questions I had were answered. Thank you.

This was a very helpful and well explained video!

Thank you for posting this helpful video!

Very appreciate for sharing this. I found your video really helpful !

thanks. your instructions helped me alot.

thanks for this! just starting this project !

Better to use drill with adjusted tension so you won't strip the screw when you tightening

Nice! Thanks for the tips.

Thank you very much!!! Explained very well.

Thanks for the video. I'm curious why you left your downspout catchers in. Seems like the little bit of debris (shingle dust) that comes in would easily go down the spout - but it looked like yours was backing up a bit on the catcher. I was contemplating if to leave mine in or not when I install these. After seeing that, I think I'll remove them. Just wondered if you've checked them again and kept them there. Thanks again for the helpful video.

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.

costco and sams club too pricey at the moment but got them for less at home depot today. 4/24/2023.

Awsome, was looking for quality guards .

Thanks for the video, very well explained 👍

Thank you for the video and the recommendation. Question: why didn't you overlap the pieces and just use one screw to pull them together??

I would put the screen under the left one when you butt them together. That way it would not stick up loose.

Great video...thanks! I'm going to buy these.

I see that Costco has this on a 5 inch and 6 inch wide what size is the one on this video ? I don’t have gutters on my roof yet and I’m trying to decide what size will be better thank you for your advice in advance, Great video .

Thank you very much it was very helpful

Great explanation. I think I can do this.
