On Memorial Day itself, our only plan is to clean the maple seeds
out of the gutters on the house.  Easy-peasy (relatively speaking)
with the leaf-blower attachment my husband made out of some Schedule 20
PVC.  Bonus for having a single-story house:  we don't have to climb
ladders to maintain the gutters.

I had these put on my gutters about 15+/- years ago.  My
neighbor, who is a roofer, has been on my roof several times
and says my gutters are clean as a whistle with these on
the gutters.

There are companies that will install these, but I got mine
at Home Depot, 25 in a box if I remember correctly, and
another neighbor was doing some work for me and installed
them.

I have something similar on mine. I installed them the year that I fell
off the overhang while going up to clean the gutters. I had them on for
about 10 years before I had that huge branch fall on my house. The
insurance covered the cost of repairs which involved ripping off the
shingles, repairing a few holes in the plywood sheath, and they
replaced all the soffit, fascia, gutters, downspouts and the gutter
guards.  I checked a couple spots last year and they are still clean.

They really do an amazing job of keeping gutters clean.
I thought for sure that little mesh cloth type strainer
that is attached on the underside would disintegrate
in a few years.  Still going strong.
