Alex Higginbotham has his own website, gutterguardreviews.co, where he teaches about micro mesh gutter guards. He's has a number of videos on his site teaching about gutter guards that we've poached to bring to you.
He dislikes the fact that no one shares a visual of their gutter guard tests. He plans to test gutter guards in video format where you, the homeowner can see the test results. The first one that he's posted is his test of MasterShield against oil, honey and syrup.
