Can anyone recommend a company that installs gutters that have a covering to keep out leaves and other debris. Ice keeps destroying my gutters and I have to continually get up on the roof to clean them out.

I used Gutter Topper for my former home in NJ and it worked great keeping out leaves and debris, but we didn't have the ice dam issues there that we face here in NH. Don't know how that would work out.

in the North East states as far as Im concerned the gutters should be taken down in fall and up in the spring

Had Lakes Region Seamless Gutters install gutters and helmet on my new home last week. Family owned and operated ...came highly recommended.

I used Lakes Region Seamless Gutters a few years ago. Reasonably priced, quick work. No complaints on my end.

Twenty years ago, my gutter-installer was surprised when I asked that there be no downspouts installed with my new vinyl gutters. :confused:
To clean out the debris, I connected a few 1" PVC pipe sections together and, with a pair of PVC "elbows" at the gutter end, used it to push the debris out the end that lacked the downspout. This is done from the ground: no getting up on the roof. :cool:
(Vinyl gutters have no exposed braces to block this cleaning method).
Every once in a while, we'll get a rainstorm that cleans the gutters all at once—automatically!
There are gutter protectors (http://www.sweershomeproducts.com/catalog/quick-snap-gutter-screen_p29.html) on the Internet that are half-priced compared to identical mail-ordered gutter protectors.
