Gutter guard needed new: What to Check and What to Do Next
If the gutters are new, decide about a guard only after the installer or quote identifies the gutter profile, width, material, hanger support, slope, roof-edge detail, and downspout plan. A guard can reduce leaves and other large debris, but it does not correct an undersized, poorly sloped, sagging, or badly discharged gutter.

Gutter guard needed: What to Check and What to Do Next
A gutter guard is a project decision, not a reason to climb onto the roof or ladder and install a product yourself. From safe ground or a window, note how much tree debris reaches the roofline, whether gutters overflow during ordinary rain, whether sections sag or separate, and whether downspouts discharge away from the home.
