Great product, packaged perfectly, so that nothing was damaged . And very easy to install , I would definitely recommend this product

Art of Gutter is a great company. Their video online shows ease of installation. This is a very well made product Made in USA. My 82 yo husband had no difficulty installing these himself. Perfect fit and Highly Recommend them.

I was tired of having to constantly clean my gutters even going so far this year of hiring a company to come and preform the service. I have a 2-story house with the gutters on one side being over 24 ft from the ground.This sent me down the rabbit hole to find a solution. I watched a lot of YouTube and searched Amazon looking at reviews. One of the reviews I read was from an engineering discussion the pro and cons of various systems. I too am an engineer so I evaluate and research most purchases with an eye for design, durability and function. I made the investment of time and cost as I purchased several samples to evaluate on my own.I am in Texas and I have Arizona Ash trees that put out a ton of seedpods in the fall and another tree with small leaves. If I had known what I know now I would have gotten rid of the Arizona Ash trees when they were small, but it is too late for that now. In addition, since I am in Texas I do not have to deal with ice dams so take that into consideration. Regardless, all of this debris ends up in my gutters clogging the downspouts which have to be cleaned by spring when the rains come.After evaluating the samples I got, by putting them on a low section of gutters using the leaves and seedpods with a water hose my conclusion was the Waterlock DIY system from Art of Gutters was the best for my situation. I will emphasize this there are multiple systems out there, plus several companies trying to sell you stuff. You need evaluate your roof pitch, gutters and tree foliage to determine the best solution. A great reference is the YouTube channel called “Gutter Guards Direct” the guy does a great job of explaining each system and conducts real world tests on his own house. One point made in the videos is that no matter how good the design is, if the installation of the gutters and the gutter guards are not correct your experience will be greatly affected. I 100% agree with this. I did contact a few gutter companies and costs were above what I intended, plus I knew I could at least do as good or better as anyone else.On to my experience, with Waterlock DIY.• Overall, the design and construction are excellent. The Aluminum is a good gauge and micro mesh was the right size for me. I have 5-inch gutters.• The DIY version was easy to install and comes with self-driving screws that match the color.• Depending on your gutters you will have to make some modification as needed to get every section to fit. I did as you will discovery most gutters are poorly installed and you will have to work around those issues. I would suggest getting a good pair of straight cut tin snips. Plus, gloves not to thick so you can feel the screws. I use red Milwaukee gloves exclusively and they worked great.• Because of my need to prevent anything from getting in my gutters I made a few modifications. I intentionally increased the overlap between each section to 1/2 inch by cutting this back before install. Then I would use a couple of screws to secure the overlap between sections.• On exterior corners I would cut off the micro mesh from drop pieces and make a cover to fill gaps at the 45 and hold down with screws.• At the start and end of runs I would make an overlap and screw down the straight edge this way nothing can get under the ends. Be aware this will leave exposed screws but no one really notices from the ground plus my goal is to keep stuff out of the gutters.• Finally, and most important, work as safely as possible. I purchased a ladder stabilizer (Werner), No Bull end caps for the stabilizer, I recommend both. I had a helper with me most of the time and I worked slowly and intentionally. Take your time and you will get the job done.Last comment: The gutter guards have been on a few weeks and so far the results are good. We have had a few rains, no noticeable overrun of water and the leave once dry just blow off.

I used this product on two different types of gutter/roof combinations. On my own home, there is vinyl siding with aluminum wrap. The gutters were more exposed, however, in the upper corners, where the gutter was at it's highest elevation to get the fall, it was a little difficult to fit it in place. But after that first piece it went in pretty easy and looks great. From the ground it is barely noticeable. I had a professional do the rear of my house and I did the front, there is no distinguishable difference in the appearance. On the 2nd house, it was used on a metal roof. It was easier to fit in place, but did not seem a tight of a fit as in the wrapped design. I would recommend this product. For the price, delivery, and ease of installation, if you have a little mechanical ability.

I spent a lot of time looking for good quality and reasonably priced gutter guards. I looked at the big box stores but they only had cheap, flimsy guards/leaf filters. And I certainly didn’t want to spend several thousand on those tv advertised ones. I looked at several on Amazon and decided these Waterlock 5” leaf filters might be just what I had been looking for. So I ordered the sample. As soon as I received it I knew these were it. So I ordered the length I needed (128 ft) and they arrived 3 days later. I spent about 8 hours total over the next 2 days installing ( I’m 66 yrs old, hate ladders and am afraid of heights). But, installation was simple and straight forward. If you are at all handy and currently waste your time on a ladder cleaning your gutters 4-5 times in the fall, you can install these. They came packaged well with no damage. They included plenty of zip screws. All you need is a 1/4 inch drill driver and a pair of tin/metal snips. I am 100% happy I chose these. These are excellent quality. I have no regrets.
