LeafFilter vs. Hood Guards
Hood gutter guards may be installed one of two ways – secured under the first row of shingles on your roof, or as a single unit requiring the installation of all new gutters. No matter the type, there are many problems with hood gutter guards, making them a temporary solution, at best.

Large Holes, Gaps, Or Openings
Hood gutter guards feature a large opening that runs the entire length of the gutter, allowing debris to enter and clog your gutter system.
Water Flow
Hood gutter guards feature a large opening that runs the entire length of the gutter, allowing debris to enter and continually clog your gutters. Once installed under your first row of shingles, hood style guards will cause water to run off, damaging your landscaping and contributing to basement flooding and foundation issues.
Difficult To Clean
Once your gutters fill with debris, you’ll have to remove the hood gutter cover entirely to clean inside the gutter. This process can be time-consuming — if not impossible. You may even need to contact a professional to fix the problem for you.
No Clog-Free Guarantee
Many hood gutter guards are backed with warranties that support routine gutter cleanings. Why? They simply cannot guarantee that the gutter will remain free of debris.
Major Roof Impact
Installation may require screwing the product into your roof shingles, which will cause major water damage and can void your roof warranty.
Requires Gutter Replacement
Some hood gutter covers require you to replace your existing gutters with an entirely new system, which is expensive and unnecessary if you already have gutters that are in good shape.
