What is Gutter Genius?
Gutter Genius is a heavy duty, solid aluminum gutter protection system that is professionally installed nationwide by our network of Gutter Genius Franchise Owners. It is the most affordable professionally installed gutter protection system available, and it comes with an amazing warranty that provides 100% protection . . . not just clogs.

How does Gutter Genius work?
Gutter Genius works on the same principle of capillary action, or surface tension, that all other solid metal gutter protection systems work on. Water rolls around the curve and into the gutter, while debris slides over and to the ground. Gutter Genius can handle up to 8” of rain per hour, more than enough to handle the biggest downpour.

What is the advantage of Gutter Genius over other systems?
Gutter Genius is installed for a fraction of the cost of most competitive systems, and it comes with a much more comprehensive, fully transferable product and performance warranty. With Gutter Genius, you’ll get equal protection at a much lower cost, and far better overall value over the life of the system.

How much does Gutter Genius cost?
Gutter Genius can be installed for about 20% of the cost of other branded systems. Prices start from $4/foot, but pricing depends on the condition of your existing gutters and downspouts, and the complexity and elevation of your roofline. Generally, the higher the roof and the more complex the roof line, the higher the price.

Why do I need Gutter Genius?
The best gutter protection is a clean gutter. Gutter Genius Franchise Owners clean, repair, replace, install and protect gutters. For the cost of most branded systems, you can have your gutters cleaned for decades. Gutter Genius is affordable, and it eliminates the need to clean your gutters ever again. It’s backed by the best warranty in the industry, and it works . . . year after year and season after season.

Will Gutter Genius affect my roof warranty?
No. This is a marketing gimmick used by many gutter protection companies to sell their systems. Gutter Genius does not void your manufacturer’s roof warranty.

How will Gutter Genius look on my home?
Gutter Genius is the lowest profile solid aluminum gutter protection system in the industry. It is nearly invisible from the street, and once installed, you’ll hardly notice that it’s on your home. See our Photos page for more information.

Will Gutter Genius work on steep roofs?
Yes. Gutter Genius has been installed on Dutch-style homes and on nearly vertical roof lines. Steep roofs do affect performance in heavy downpours, since water velocity is much higher, but installation is no problem, and the product works and looks great. See our PHOTOS section.

Will Gutter Genius work on wood, metal, slate or tile roofs?
Yes. Gutter Genius has been installed on every type of roof imaginable. Installation does take longer on wood shake, slate, tile and metal roofs, and it does drive up the cost a bit, but Gutter Genius is still a small fraction of the cost of competitive branded products.

Will Gutter Genius cause ice dams on my roof?
No. Gutter Genius does not cause ice dams, but it doesn’t eliminate them either. Gutter Genius does prevent ice and snow from getting into the gutter and downspouts, where most of the damage is done.

Does Gutter Genius work in climates with heavy snow?
Yes. Gutter Genius is certified to handle heavy snow loads, and we’ve installed it in the most severe winter climates in North America, including Michigan, Minnesota, Maine and Wyoming.

With Gutter Genius, does anything get into the gutter?
Small amounts of debris will enter the gutter, usually 3 to 5 percent, but debris simply washes out the downspout. We do encourage our customers to install larger 3 x 4 downspouts to eliminate clogs entirely, but even 2 x 3 downspouts can go for years, even decades, without clogging.

How is Gutter Genius installed?
Gutter Genius is installed nationwide by highly trained aand professional Gutter Genius franchise owners. Most installations take 2 hours or less, and our crews are trained to be prompt, polite, professional and fast. Our crews are happy to answer your questions.

How does Gutter Genius compare to screens, mesh and filters?
There are literally hundreds of products on the market today, ranging from inexpensive screens and mesh that clog quickly, to expensive filter systems that perform adequately but don’t offer the durability of a heavy duty solid metal system like Gutter Genius. With Gutter Genius, you’ll get superior performance and an amazing warranty . . . at a fraction of the price of other brands.

What is the warranty for Gutter Genius?
Gutter Genius has a 20 year limited manufacturer’s warranty and a 1 year unconditional money-back guarantee . . . the only one in the industry! In addition, Gutter Genius has a fully transferable lifetime performance warranty that covers not just clogs, but everything from wind damage to hail damage and limb damage, even fires. In fact, if you ever re-roof your home, we’ll remove your Gutter Genius system and reinstall it when the roofers are done . . . free of charge!
