Gutter Guards Feature Stainless Steel Micro Mesh
If you don't currently have gutter guards, it may be something to consider if you're regularly up on the roof unclogging the gutters. Fall is a particularly hard time for those who live near trees.
These gutter guards from Leaf Solution are made from stainless steel micro mesh, which is supposed to keep anything larger than a grain of sand from getting into the gutter while allowing water to permeate through and run off the roof.
The gutter guards can be installed on new or old gutter systems. Installation consists of the mesh being slipped under roof shingles and attached to the gutter lip--no glue is involved.
The Leaf Solution guards work with all rooflines (metal, slate, composite shingle, or cedar) though a custom roof with built-in gutters won't be able to accommodate the system.

Nice post. I've actually had a mesh system on my house for a couple of years and it works okay, but I still have to get up on the roof and clean it off every once in a while. A friend from work installed a gutter cover that doesn't use mesh about a year ago, and he says he hasn't had to do any cleaning at all.
