Gutter Guard / Gutter Cover Recommendations?
DH wants to get some gutter guards or covers of some sort for our new house because on one side it's 3 stories high and he doesn't want to have to climb up there to remove the leaves (and I don't want him to).
Does anyone have recommendations of good companies in this area that do installation?
A quick google search gave me these companies. If you have any experience with any of these, let me know.

Re: Gutter Guard / Gutter Cover Recommendations?
We have gutter guards and it's the BEST thing we've ever done. It's been about a year but in that year DH hasn't had to go up on the roof to clean out gutters.
I have no experience with those companys, we ended up using Thompson Creek and couldn't be happier. I remember they were expensive but they have a lifetime guarantee which is what sold us on them, also the fact that they were installed the next week really helped too!
We actually just had our gutters and downspouts completely replaced and had gutter guards put on too. We did it as a package deal with our windows, through Window World so I'm not sure of the cost for just the gutter guards. I noticed though, that the guys that did the installation were from Gutters For Less (might have been Gutters 4 Less). They were super fast and everything looks great - it might be worth looking them up and getting a quote?
They also look pretty easy to install yourself if you want to go that route - you can buy screens at Home Depot.
I liked having someone else do it though, the usually come with some kind of no clog guarantee, so if they do clog they'll come clean them out for you.
I'm glad to hear you've been happy with the investment and thanks for the recommendation. I definitely want to do it with a reputable company that has a guarantee of some sort. The gutter guards we got for our previous home had a guarantee not to clog but then the company went out of business. So, I want to go with a long-standing company even it's a bit more expensive.
Thank you for the recommendation!
That's why we went with Thompson Creek. We were also having our front door and garage entry door replaced (we used them). This is the same company that does Closet America too. They're top rated on Angies list and BBB. There's a 15% off coupon on Angies list for them.
Thanks. That's very reassuring. I'm not a member of Angie's list but TC had a coupon on their website for $300 off any complete gutter system so we may see if we can use that. I did look at their BBB ratings which were good. I think DH is going to get an estimate from them. We also need a new storm door so I'm going to get an estimate for that too.
