Are gutter guards bad?

Are gutter guards bad? I’ve heard they help with maintenance, but do they really work, or do they just lead to more problems over time?

Gutter guards can be helpful for reducing maintenance by keeping debris out, but they ain’t perfect. Sometimes they can cause water to overflow if not installed right, or they might clog over time. Regular checks are key. If your gutters often get clogged, guards might be worth considering, but know the potential issues.
