Leaf Guard Gutters

I had Leaf Guard gutters installed last year. I thought they were a great idea....wrong...the birds think they are a great idea but that is about it. I was leary about having "open" gutters but anxious to get my old gutters replaced, not just anxious, desperate. The water pooring into my basement was getting scary. Replacing the gutters did fix the problem. This spring, I think just about every small bird on the east coast discovered that my gutter was the perfect place to build a nest a start a family. It is so bad that the bricks that make up my front steps are erroding due to the constant waterfall pouring onto them from the clogged gutters. As usual let the buyer beware...especially in times of desperation!
