Ned Stevens installs a high quality aluminum screening. It is available for both 5” and 6” gutters. Screening is helpful in keeping large debris out of the gutters, although gutter cleaning is still necessary for smaller debris which can and will penetrate the screening.

The screening can only be installed on houses with asphalt roof shingles. There is a lip in the front of the screening that fits into a lip in the front of the gutter while the back of the screen is tucked under the first row of shingles.

Ned Stevens will never install a product that attaches to your roof. Both of the products we install, screening and Ned Stevens Gutter Guard slide under the shingles. You should never install screening or guards when you have a slate, wood or tile roof, and you should never install any screening that is nailed or screwed into either the roof or gutter.

Plastic screens should not be used. They break easily and are hard to remove from the gutter. They usually come in white and black. They often come in rolls or sections.

Concave screens are attached to the roof. Never attach a product to your roof. These screens have clips that attach to the shingles. Not only can the clips break and get lost but they can damage your roof!

Don’t use louvered screens. They are poor quality, they bend easily, they allow debris to penetrate the gutter, and gutters cannot be cleaned with them in place. There are tabs that are supposed to hold the screen in place in the front, but these tabs break off easily. Once this screening is bent there is no way to bend it back into shape. So, once a clog occurs, the louvered screens will need to be removed and discarded, and that removal usually causes damage either to the gutter or your roof.

Rolled screening comes in rolls and is laid across the gutter. Often it collapses into the gutter making it useless and impossible to clean the gutters without removing it. Once it is removed, it cannot be re-installed.
