ps: I know some of you are thinking: Clean yer dang gutters out  ! I do that but still couldn't keep them all unclogged to my satisfaction, and it was an ongoing maintenance hassle. |
Two words: Gutter Guard. I installed the plastic stuff you can buy at the big box home stores and haven't had a problem with gutters plugging since. The only issue I have is when it's cold and snow builds up then thaws. I get some AWESOME Icicles but I really don't like those things hanging around 18 feet in the air with my kids playing outside.
