Generally, gutter guards cause more inconvenience than benefits.
Many think they are alleviating a home maintenance task by installing gutter guards. The truth is their are many disadvantages in adding gutter guards to your home.
Here are a few:
Debris stays on top of the guard. It does not always flow off of the top of the guard causing water to tuck behind the gutter, this will cause rot to the fascia.
Depending on the guards, shingle sediment can still get in the gutters adding additional weight to the gutter. Because of the guards you can't get into it to clean it out.
The wind will blow seedling into your gutters. It can become it's own greenhouse in there. Growing trees in your gutters that will ultimately have to be cleaned out adding additional cost on your home maintenance.
