I think for most Villagers there are more grains from the shingles than leaves. I don’t think the gutter filters/guards would work well for that. I did have an old birds nest once, not even sure what type of bird it was, completely oblivious to that happening. Now I just have the guy who pressure washes our house wash them out as part of the job, once ot twice a year.

If you have shingles, you will have granules coming loose. So, if the gutter covers can't shed them in The Villages, they can't shed them anywhere.

I chuckled. It would only take me 52 years to break even. So, if I don't live beyond the age of 123 I wouldn't break even. It was a very hard choice but I turned it down. I check my gutters here in the Villages every year. I think I've seen maybe 5 leaves in the past 4 years.

Good for you for doing the math!!!
