LeafGuard Gutter FAQ
Whether you are considering new gutters because of a home remodel, new home purchase, or to avoid the perpetual & dangerous job of climbing up on a ladder and cleaning your gutters by hand, you want your new custom gutters to last a lifetime. With Byers LeafGuard Gutter Systems, both the gutters and the workmanship are guaranteed for as long as you own your home. LeafGuard’s custom finishes are also guaranteed against chipping, peeling, and cracking for as long as you own your home. And, unlike other contractors and gutter companies who have closed their businesses, Byers has been happily serving clients since 1987 and is not going anywhere.
Q: Everyone offers some sort of guarantee. How is yours different?
A: Byers provides the ONLY no-clog guarantee with NO EXCLUSIONS. So if your gutters ever clog, for any reason, we will clean them for free. No fine print, no excuses. No one else offers such a simple, ironclad guarantee.
Q: Will LeafGuard Gutters affect my roof warranty?
A: No. LeafGuard installs on the fascia boards or rafter tails, so no attachment points ever go through your roof (unlike conventional gutters, which have straps that nail into the roof sheathing.) Some add-on cover devices actually get nailed or screwed through your roof shingles, which can lead to leaks and dry rot! Your roof warranty is safe with us.

A: Beautiful! The sculpted appearance, similar to crown molding, blends in attractively with existing architecture. You can choose from 10 colors to enhance your trim or body color.
Q: How long will LeafGuard Gutters last?
A: LeafGuard Gutters are guaranteed to perform for as long as you own your home. LeafGuard’s finish is also guaranteed against chipping, peeling, and cracking for as long as you own your home. And our workmanship? You guessed it – guaranteed for as long as you own your home!

Q: I have a lot of oak and pine trees. Will LeafGuard Gutters keep the leaves, acorns, and needles out?
A: Yes. LeafGuard Gutters effectively sheds leaves, needles, seeds, acorns, twigs – just about anything you can throw at it. If small debris does get in, LeafGuard’s oversized troughs and downspouts allow the material to be flushed out with every rain. Do not believe what you read from our competitors about LeafGuard Gutters clogging. Read what our satisfied clients say about Byers and our products.
Q: Do LeafGuard Gutters work with heavy snow and ice?
A: Yes…and No. LeafGuard has proven to be very snow resistant but not snowproof. With conventional gutters, snow and ice will often build up and pry the gutters right off your home. That rarely happens with LeafGuard Gutters. Open top gutters and flat screens tend to exacerbate ice dams that may form at the edge of your roof, causing water to back up under your roof. LeafGuard’s curved design typically sheds snow and ice, minimizing the effects of damage from ice dams. Many customers use heat tape to keep ice from forming on the edges of their roofs, which is completely compatible with LeafGuard Gutters and recommended for clients in subalpine areas.
Q: How much rain can LeafGuard Gutters handle?
A: The LeafGuard Gutter System has been independently tested under laboratory conditions to accept 33 inches of rainfall per HOUR – an amount well above any recorded occurrence anywhere in the world. In fact, the average rainfall in our area is 15-53 inches per YEAR.
