The only good gutter guards are the ones you never install. They prevent very little and just make it harder to clean the gutters. If you simply clean the gutters twice a year, you wont need guards anyway .
Those guards are GARBAGE !!!! Reason being they will allow shingle grit to enter them which eventually clogs up the gutter , you have to install the fine mesh style to prevent grit and pine needles !!!!!
To be fair, there are no perfect gutter guards on the market. I prefer these because they allow maximum water flow through the wide mesh. The fine mesh guards restrict more water flow, and once the shingle grit gets into the mesh they do so even more. I generally see significant tiger striping on gutters with the fine mesh, or hard top/rollover style. There are no real maintenance free gutter guards, so I prefer the ones with higher flow rates. Everyone has a preference, and these are mine. Maybe not yours, but far from being garbage. They hold up extremely well when well maintained.
Yes but at the most you would only have to brush them off you wouldn’t have to physically remove them to clean out shingle grit, usually a hard rain will remove the grit from them also, I haven’t had a customer call me to clean them off yet

Does a good job
Do these compromise the drip edge when lifting up shingles away from drip edge? Im worried about water getting under the shingle and wetting the wood
I have never seen any issues with mine, or any that I service.
5:05... I hope you fixed that overlap. It looks terrible
