  1. It sounds like they are all half asleep, especially the host.
  2. Their “test” of the various systems is ridiculous at best.
  3. They seem to be pushing gutter systems as the “obvious” choice.

But I suppose, what are you going to do in a 5 minute television segment?  The only one of the bunch who doesn’t appear to be pandering is the woman.  At least they mention the ridiculously steep price of these gutter systems.  They didn’t bother mentioning the price of the Do It Yourself option (which is our pick!).

Seriously, with the DIY option you really only have to go up to clean the gutters once every 3 to 5 years… and the cleaning is simple.  I’ve only ever found a thin layer of gravel-muck.  Spending $4000 to $8000 for a gutter system that *might* work is just retarded.  As many others have experienced, you might spend all that money and be worse off than when you started.

Anyway… here’s the video:

Even if you don’t care about LeafFilter, you should watch this video.

NOTE: Apparently the video has been removed from YouTube for some unknown reason. If anyone has an updated link, we would appreciate hearing about it. Thanks.

Make sure your gutters are in good shape before the first major rain storm, and you’ll be a happy homeowner.

Check out this handy video that explains the proceed such that any gutter newbie can take on the job. It’s basically an advertisement from Lowes, but it still contains some great information and footage.

Cleaning gutters isn’t fun, but the payoff in water damage prevention is huge.
