2.0 PRO® vs. Mesh Gutter Guards

Mesh gutter guards were initially celebrated for their innovation. They consisted of a fine mesh screen, typically made from plastic or metal, that was installed over the gutters. This mesh was designed to filter out debris and prevent it from entering the gutter, thus eliminating the need for regular gutter cleaning. However, as time went on, it became clear that these guards had their fair share of problems.

 

With over a decade of experience installing gutter guards for every major brand, Jason Wood began to recognize where mesh gutter guards fell short and how they could be improved. From a simple idea blossomed the 2.0 PRO® Gutter Guards. Today, the decision for the best gutter protection system comes down to the 2.0 PRO® vs. the other mesh gutter guards.

The Biggest Problems With Mesh Gutter Guards

If you read any of their reviews online, you will quickly see a common theme among the mesh gutter guard problems. These issues include frequent clogging, deterioration, and infestations.

Clogging

Ironically, one of the most significant issues with mesh gutter guards is their propensity to clog. While they can block larger debris like leaves and twigs, smaller debris such as pine needles and shingle grit easily find their way into the mesh. Over time, this buildup of finer debris can lead to clogs, rendering the guards ineffective.

Not Maintenance Free

Homeowners were promised a maintenance-free solution, but mesh gutter guards often require more maintenance than anticipated. Regular cleaning of the guards is necessary to ensure they continue to function correctly. Climbing up a ladder to clean the very thing meant to eliminate the need for ladder use was a frustrating paradox, often leading homeowners to consider the 2.0 PRO® vs. their current mesh gutter guards.

Highly Fragile

Many mesh gutter protection systems are made from flimsy materials that don't stand up well to the elements. They warp, crack, or deteriorate over time, leaving gutters vulnerable to debris buildup and water damage.

Ineffective in Heavy Rain

Perhaps one of the biggest cons of mesh gutter guards is their inability to withstand heavy rainstorms. These guards can struggle to handle the volume of water, leading to overflow and water damage to your home's foundation and landscaping. Can you really call it a “gutter guard” if it can’t even handle one of the most common elements?

Pest Infestations

Some mesh designs allow pests like birds and rodents to nest in the gutters, leading to potential damage and unsanitary conditions.

 

The number of mesh gutter guard problems often leaves homeowners frustrated and looking for a better alternative. Thankfully, that alternative has arrived in the form of 2.0 PRO® Gutter Guards from Gutter Guard Experts.
