Which two warranties cover a gutter guard installed on a Canton home?
One comes from the company that makes the guard. The other comes from the company that fits it. They cover different things, and knowing which is which saves an argument later.
| Leaf Solution Lifetime No-Clog Warranty | Guttrz 10-year workmanship warranty | |
|---|---|---|
| Who stands behind it | Leaf Solution, LLC, the manufacturer | Guttrz, the installer |
| What it covers | The guard material, its finish, and clogging from leaves, twigs, needles and seeds | The installation: parts and labor |
| How long | Lifetime, under the manufacturer's terms | 10 years from the install date |
| Labor | Not covered | Covered |
| Passes to a new owner | No | Ask the owner at the inspection |
What does the Leaf Solution Lifetime No-Clog Warranty cover?
Three things. First, defects in the material and in how the guard was made. Second, the finish: it should not chip or blister under ordinary wear. Third, the no-clog promise itself. When the guard is installed the way the manufacturer specifies, the gutters and downspouts should not fill and overflow from leaves, twigs, needles or seeds.
What does the manufacturer warranty leave out?
- Labor. It is a material warranty. If a panel is replaced under it, the manufacturer supplies the panel, not the work of swapping it.
- A new owner. It is not transferable. It belongs to the homeowner who bought the install and does not pass to a buyer when the house is sold.
- Routine care. An occasional rinse of the mesh is expected. Lifetime does not mean maintenance free.
- Outside causes. Storm damage, the house settling, mesh coated by roof oils or tree sap, and improper installation are excluded.
This is a plain-language summary. The manufacturer's written document is what governs, and you receive it with your photos on install day.
What does the Guttrz 10-year workmanship warranty add?
It covers the part the manufacturer does not: the fitting. For ten years from the install date, a guard that comes loose, lifts or does not drain because of how it was fastened is put right, parts and labor. A problem you report with the install is fixed within 30 days. It also closes the labor gap above. If a panel ever needs replacing under the material warranty, you are not left holding a box of parts.
It does not cover damage from falling limbs or storms, or guards that someone else has removed or altered.
What do you have to do to keep the warranties good?
Very little. Rinse the top of the mesh with a garden hose when it looks dull, and use a soft brush on anything that sticks. Do not paint the guards or mix in parts from another brand. If another contractor has to take panels off for roof or fascia work, call first so they go back on correctly. Shaded lots under mature trees should plan on a look once or twice a year. Our gutter guard FAQ covers how to rinse the mesh safely.
How do you make a claim?
Call the number on this page. It is answered by Guttrz at any hour. Describe what you see, and send a photo if you have one. Guttrz comes out, works out which warranty applies, fixes what falls under workmanship and handles the claim with Leaf Solution if the product is at fault. You do not have to sort out the paperwork between the two.
Does the warranty change what a guard costs?
No. Both warranties come with every install and neither is sold as an add-on. What changes the price is footage, height and gutter condition, which the cost page explains. The steps that keep an install inside the manufacturer's terms are on the installation page.
Questions about the fine print?
Ask them before you buy. The owner will walk you through both warranties at the inspection.
Warranty questions
Is the gutter guard warranty transferable when I sell my house?
The Leaf Solution Lifetime No-Clog Warranty is not transferable. It stays with the homeowner who bought the install and does not pass to the buyer.
Does a lifetime no-clog warranty mean I never touch the gutters again?
No. The warranty expects a routine rinse of the mesh. What it means is that the gutter and downspouts should not fill with leaves, twigs, needles or seeds while the guard is cared for.
Who do I call if a guard comes loose?
The number on this site, which Guttrz answers day and night. A guard that loosens because of how it was fastened is a workmanship matter and is fixed at no charge within the ten years.
