Gutter Guards on Maryland's Eastern Shore: LeafBlaster Pro, Alu-Rex, Bulldog and GutterRx

LeafBlaster Pro

LeafBlaster Pro is our leading gutter guard. It's made by Gutterglove. What the LeafBlaster Pro warranty says:

• 40-year limited warranty against defects in the guard's parts. It doesn't cover labor, like taking guards off and putting them back, or hardware or shipping.
• In coastal areas, defined as within 5 miles of a shoreline, the warranty drops to 10 years. The warranty's definition of shoreline names oceans, gulfs, seas and lakes and says it isn't limited to those.
• It's void after damage from salt spray, hurricanes, hail, windstorms and other severe weather, after improper maintenance, and if the guard is installed touching copper.
• Keep the warranty with your original receipt. Gutterglove says the warranty is void without it.
• It transfers to the next owner if you sell the house.

Alu-Rex

Alu-Rex is another option at the same price as LeafBlaster Pro. Alu-Rex makes several gutter guard lines, each with its own warranty. If your estimator recommends Alu-Rex, we'll give you the warranty for the specific product.

Bulldog and GutterRx

Bulldog and GutterRx are aluminum guards that fit new or existing gutters. Both are made by GPI Gutter Products. They're the guards we recommend for homes near the water, and our estimator chooses between them based on the trees around your home. What the warranties say:

• Bulldog has a registered 25-year limited warranty, and GutterRx has a registered 20-year limited warranty. Each covers the painted finish and the guard's performance in keeping leaves, twigs, needles and seeds from clogging the gutters and downspouts.
• Neither one has a rule that shortens the term near a shoreline. Neither covers damage from salt or hurricanes, and both also exclude hail, flood and ice dams.
• Both have to be registered within 30 days of installation.
• Neither covers the cost of removing or reinstalling the guards.
• Both transfer to a new owner only with proof of the transfer.

Guards on your existing gutters

We install guards on existing gutters as well as new ones. We clean the existing gutters first, because a guard sealed over a gutter full of leaves and grit doesn't work. The Bulldog and GutterRx warranties also require the gutters to be thoroughly cleaned, properly sloped and the downspouts cleared before installation.

No guard is maintenance-free

All of these guards cut down on cleaning, but none of them is maintenance-free. Bulldog and GutterRx put clearing debris off the top of the guard on the homeowner, and the LeafBlaster Pro warranty is void after improper maintenance.
