Questions and Answers for Amerimax Home Products Solid 3 ft. White Vinyl Surface Tension Gutter Guard

A:  The guards will work regardless of roof type.

A:  If the gutter cover is wide enough it will fit under the 2nd course and work fine. Only you can judge that. To make it even more secure you can put a couple sheet metal screws in the front of each section, through the cover into the gutter rim. Don't forget to block off the ends because birds like to go in there and make a nest. When installing, I simply use snips/heavy scissors to cut and bend the end section of gutter cover to block that open space. The covers are very flexible; you can easily bend the end piece at a right angle without breaking them. I've had my covers on for at least 20 years, they work great! I chuckle when I see ads for gutter covers that are so expensive you need to take out a 2nd mortgage to afford them.

A:  Yes it can be

A:  It is designed to be tucked under shingles.

A:  No working knowledge of tile roofs. Suggest asking the roofing specialists.

A:  There are products advertised for painting porcelain but I trust NONE of them! If you need a color other than white I'd suggest you spend a few more bucks and get a toilet of your color choice.

A:  If you are buying from homedepot.com the box quantity is 50.

A:  No, not really. Ice dams form because the attic is not properly ventilated.

A:  Yes, just push more under the shingles. It’s a good idea to overlap about 1-1.5” for strength at the joints. This requires notching the front edge at the overlap points. A little more work but well worth the effort.

A:  My gutters are 4 inch; because of the nailing on my shingles I had to cut some pieces of this gutter cover to allow it to slide under the lowest shingles. I simply used scissors. I did have to screw the front edge of the gutter covers to the gutter to prevent them from being blown out by strong winds. Two gutter screws on each gutter cover was sufficient. Corner/end pieces were susceptible to wind even though glued to the roof with roofing cement. I have had these gutter covers in place for several years now, need to clean my gutters much less often that with large mesh covers.

A:  Kate - the flat part of the gutter guard slides up under the shingle and the side, with the cut outs will clip over the gutter itself. When you clip the edge over the gutter it will be secure enough but some people use a self tapping screw to secure it in place. You can just but the next piece to the installed piece.

A:  These would just slide under shingle further. You could also cut the bak leg that goes under shingle down some.

A:  Yes you can slide it under the shingle, but I've found that the slots that allow the water to flow into the gutter clog easily and the water just runs off but I have a lot of trees. I actually took most of mine out. The screen type that they sale works much better but they are more expensive.

A:  This item is only available in white.

A:  No, it does not come in brown.

A:  Yes. Often when there are nails close to edge.

A:  No cutting necessary if the first course of of shingles was nailed correctly.........not too close to the forward edge. However, if cutting is necessary it can easily be done with aviation snips or even heavy scissors.

A:  No it's not

A:  Yes, this item can handle pine needles.

A:  Yes this product will keep out pine needles.
