Dropped $180 on a gutter guard install from Eagle Eye Gutters on W 117th

I figured I'd save money by cleaning my own gutters every fall, but after slipping off my ladder last month and tweaking my back, I finally gave in and paid someone. They put in those mesh guards that snap into the gutters, and so far after that big rain last week, no clogs. Has anyone else had those guards pop off in heavy wind or am I just being paranoid?

You ever notice how the cheap plastic ones always seem to lift up right where the roof meets the gutter... @beth878 is right about the corners. I'd say toss a few landscape stones on the low spots before the next storm.

Ladder injuries are no joke. But $180 for gutter guards? That's cheap install. Must be the plastic snap in kind. You'll know if they pop off during the next good windstorm. Check the corners and downspout areas, those are usually the first to go. Put a brick on the low ones if you're worried.
