I had The Great Barrier Leaf product professionally installed on my house and a complete flushing of my gutters and down pipes. I was very impressed with the cost, product appearance and quality. It is very easy to remove and replace should I need to. The installation to my whole house was fast. The installer was lovely, answered all my questions and was very helpful. I have read a number of reviews on this product and I definitely agree its the best on the market.

Hi Ehret ... great work replacing our gutter guard after the hail and brown deluge of early February. Can't believe it was you who installed our original gutter guard 18 years ago ... and you're still doing great work. It's very reassuring to see a family business that's been around as long as yours with the same professional approach, responsive, punctual and taking pride in your work. Happy to recommend you very highly.
Cheers ... Barb
