5. "Does Sensible Gutter Guard have one of those maintenance-free clauses included?
What about the lifetime warranty that the competitors keep stressing to me?"
There is no such solution out there, nor does this system pretend to be maintenance free. Very little debris will accumulate in the gutter guard system; perhaps some shingle dust or very tiny needles from a nearby pine tree. However, you can expect excellent results with Sensible Gutter Guard... there will be very little maintenance over a long period of time.
In the majority of cases, the customer is not only comfortable with the installation, but is also having no problems with the gutter system. It is the practice of Razorback Residential Service to perform a call-back at the three year mark to check on the system and the customer's experience of it. At that time a determination can be made as to any needed maintenance.
Remember, your home is situated in the real world, where there are real problems related to storms, high winds, and other unexpected events. All of these impact your home; your gutters are no exception.
Another thing to consider is that when you purchase a "special" solution offered by a gutter company, it is more than likely a unique, non-standard rain gutter system, with no easily replaceable parts and no way for the home owner to effect even temporary repairs. And what if that company goes out of business?
As for Lifetime Warranties... if you read the fine print, you may be very surprised to find out they are not lifetime, after all.
