How to Pick the Best Gutter Guards for Your Environment
Customer Testimonials
A Word from Our Customers
Our house is a challenge for gutter guards; we have large trees including some pine trees… Gutter Guards Direct assured us they could get the guards installed before Thanksgiving and they did just that.
The crew was on time and personable. They were careful around the house and did a very good job. The color of the guards matches the house trim so they have a nice appearance.
Beverly and Alan B. | Loveland, Ohio
Johnathan Skardon (the owner) worked hard with me to design appropriate solutions, and he spent a lot of time making sure everything was right before work even began. He and his small crew are well-experienced, and care about doing quality work.
Daniel B. | Westerville, Ohio
We did extensive research on what style of gutter guard we wanted and brought in multiple companies to give us quotes on different systems and tell us why theirs was “the best.” Jonathan was the only representative that didn’t push us to make a decision that day to “get the best deal” they offered. He was also the only one who really listened to what we wanted to do (Another company tried to talk us out of new gutters saying all we needed was the guard when our 25+ year old gutters were overflowing regularly). Jonathan was knowledgeable, informative and extremely professional. We felt no pressure to make a quick decision with him.
The team who did our installation did a phenomenal job and were even kind enough to explain a few things they were doing to our two toddlers who were fascinated by the process. They also were extremely respectful of the fact that our children went to bed early and cleaned up well before dark so as not to disrupt our children’s routine.
We would absolutely recommend Gutter Guards Direct to a friend to get the job done correctly.
Ashley D. | Cincinnati, Ohio
I couldn’t be more thrilled with the gutter guards we purchased from Gutter Guards Direct! Their product, MasterShield, has exceeded all our expectations. It’s been a full year since installation, and it has performed flawlessly, just as advertised.
From the moment we contacted Gutter Guards Direct, their team was professional, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful. The installation process was smooth and efficient, and the results have been outstanding. Not only has MasterShield effectively kept leaves and debris out of our gutters, but it has also prevented clogs and water damage, giving us peace of mind year-round.
I highly recommend Gutter Guards Direct and their MasterShield product to anyone looking for reliable gutter protection. With their top-notch customer service and high-quality product, they’ve certainly earned our trust and satisfaction.
Thank you, Gutter Guards Direct, for providing such an excellent solution to our gutter maintenance needs!
Robert B. | Columbus, Ohio
Wanted to wait and see how product performed through heavy rain, leaves (wooded lot), ice & snow and the results were incredible.
The recommended Mastershield gutter covers, installed at the prescribed sloped orientation, eliminated any of the accumulation, drainage issues and regular sweeping we encountered with our previous conventional flat gutter covers.
Johnathan’s thorough testing experience with product options and tailored recommendations were key to our decision to proceed.
Very satisfied and would recommend!
Dale H. | Miamisburg, Ohio
Gutter Guards Direct did a great job on our house installing their gutter system to keep out leaves and other types of debris. I looked at other gutter guard systems, however the method in which the owner gathered information specific to our house, like using a drone to see upper level issues and the professional manner in which all tasks were carried out and the product review sold me on this system. We have literally had no problems and elated at the job it does.
I have recommended them to others; a good company to go with.
Deborah B. | Indianapolis, Indiana
We were pleased with the new 6″ gutters and MasterShield gutter guards Gutter Guard Direct installed on our single-story commercial [architectural design firm] building. The installers did an excellent job of installing new gutters and gutter guards using quality materials.
It has been more than a year since the installation and the gutters, downspouts and guards have performed very well over all 4 seasons. We would recommend their services.
