My shingles overlap/overhan the back of the gutter. The shingles are heavy and can't be lifted to slip anything underneath. Will thiis work?

you will have to lift up the shingles in order to insert the back of thescreen.I just installed several of these on my house. And I found that in some places it took a fair amount of effort to push screen in under the shingles.

No, I will us a wide plank of wood with extra large shims. Be careful. Works best on flat ground. I clean my gutters and there is a good 10-foot drop from the front of the house to the rear.MIke

I also have a metal roof and purchased these gutter guards. They work awesome with the roof, I have alot of trees around including pine trees and they have been installed for about 6 months and have not had to clean gutters yet. Usally had to clean once a month. Will be ordering more for all of my gutters BEST guards I have found. Would highly recommend them.

Does the barrier void the manufacturer warranty on the shingles? That would be where I would start.

If its ice that is froze on the roof might not come off but it gets the snow away so the sun can get at it so the water dont back up under the shingles

Yes, as long as you are able to get the product up under the planks past where the water starts to drip into the gutter. If the planks are nailed to the edge of the roof then no, it won't work.

I don't see a problem. Since vinyl cracks easily drill pilot holes in the vinyl gutter prior to inserting the sheet metal screws. I put down a good layer of silicone caulk on top of the gutter where the guard goes. I'd do this as well.

mine went under some and got stuck on some, I have about 3 diff. types of gutters on my house and the last addition I put on the installers (I think) put spikes too low or at a downward angle to the house and it gets stuck on about every other one of them. I just gave up this year and bought leaf guards. ouch!

You will have to drill through the shingles. We used some roof cement to seal off the holes.

If it was me, I would remove one between downspouts and as necessary and use a hose to spray clean into downspout and have a bucket to catch shingle debris. But make sure to clean first before installing is best first step.

If it is placed on the proper rungs, it will bridge the gap for gutter maintenance. Not exactly sure what you mean by "On the roof"?

Hi, Trish:My stand-off can be mounted as shown for a vertical wall, or it can be mounted upside down, so the standoff might be able to go onto the sloping roof above the gutter. I suppose it depends upon the slope of the roof.Years ago, I used the standoff against a sturdy 2X fascia board, which extended well below the gutter. I was very careful to make sure the legs could not slip. I hope this rambling response might be useful.Best wishes, Theodore

It uses a tar adhesive so it will stick to just about anything including corrugated metal or normal roof shingles for that matter. Just be sure of where you're going to put it because it will be difficult getting off.

This is what I found on shingle application on Home depot web site. "Not recommended on shingles as curled edges may result during drying of older shingles." This article goes into more detail; http://www.durabilityanddesign.com/news/?fuseaction=view&id;=4864.

That might work. I guess it depends on how far forward or back the bag is on your roof. The straps that come with the bag might not be long enough to go thru the back door but you can buy strapping at some fabric stores and possibly at some hardware stores. It might help to put some of that rubber mat drawer liner on your roof to prevent slipping. That can be purchased at many $1 stores, Big Lots, KMart, etc.

My roof is also rubber, but I have not tried emplacing the panels. I just unroll on the roof for the stay then roll back up afterward.

clips are to shingles, and will rust over time. IF you do as they show it was plenty to do the whole length. If you run straight on gutter it wont work right. It is not that powerful. Hope this helps you
