BroGuard · Hudson Valley
The BroGuard warranty, and what it means on a Hudson Valley roofline
Lifetime coverage on the material, a twenty year no-clog guarantee on the performance, and local crews in Poughkeepsie standing behind the whole system. Here is what each piece covers, and why the clog guarantee carries extra weight in a valley that sees rain, leaf drop and snowmelt in the same year.
Why this warranty pays off in the Hudson Valley
A lot of gutter guard warranties only promise the part itself. If maple leaves mat over the guard, the cleanup is on you. If the company that put it on has disappeared, so has your recourse.
BroGuard works the opposite way. The mesh is warranted for life against material defects, and its performance is guaranteed for twenty years not to let your gutters clog, with the product cost refunded if it does. Put it on with a new seamless system from our Poughkeepsie crews and the whole system falls under one Limited Lifetime Warranty, from one local team, at one number.
NOAA’s 1991 to 2020 normal for the Dutchess County Airport station in Poughkeepsie is 41.90 inches of precipitation a year, rain plus melted snow, spread across all four seasons. The same National Weather Service Albany record shows 62.01 inches in 2011, the wettest year in the Poughkeepsie series that runs back to 1931 (sources: NOAA NCEI U.S. Climate Normals; NWS Albany, Poughkeepsie Annual Precipitation).
When that much water arrives in a wet year, a trough full of maple, oak and sycamore leaves sends it over the edge and down the foundation. Leaves left in through winter hold meltwater at the roof edge. BroGuard is fine stainless micro-mesh that keeps leaves, maple seeds, oak catkins and pine needles on top while the water drops through, and the warranty means you buy that once instead of booking a ladder every October.
The warranty, in BroGuard’s own words
What follows is BroGuard’s warranty language word for word, as the manufacturer publishes it. We did not shorten or restate any of it, because the terms that protect your home should be the binding ones, not a summary from us.
BroGuard Premier provides a 20-YEAR PERFORMANCE WARRANTY, which guarantees that BroGuard Premier will keep the interior of your gutters from clogging if installed to our factory specifications, and we substantiate this with a money back guarantee. BroGuard will, at its sole discretion, either replace any failing area of the BroGuard Premier system with a new or reconditioned insert that returns the guard to its original operational standard; or refund you 100% of the BroGuard Premier product material cost. Labor and/or installer shipping costs not included.
BroGuard provides a LIFETIME MATERIAL DEFECTS WARRANTY for BroGuard Premier. All products will be free from factory material defects that occur during the manufacturing process. If a product is found to have a manufacturer defect, BroGuard will repair or replace the defective part(s) at no charge. We guarantee that the finished product will not chip, bubble or flake under normal conditions of wear. Our warranty is limited to the terms, exclusions, limitations, requirements and legal rights stated within this warranty.
In the event you sell your home, the balance of the warranty will transfer to the new owner. Change of Ownership forms can be obtained by contacting our corporate headquarters.
The above-mentioned warranties are void if any of the following apply:
- Damage caused to product from any outside force, natural or accidental
- Performance failures due to improper installation
- Damage during installation
- Natural wear caused by weather or other unique environmental conditions
- Damage caused by chemicals
- Improper use of product other than that intended by manufacturer
- Removal of product
- Contact with dissimilar materials
- Insert clogging due to unnatural occurrences, including but not limited to, tampering with or introducing a foreign element to the mesh, such as paint, caulk, adhesive, etc
Questions Hudson Valley homeowners ask about the warranty
No. The warranty excludes damage to the product from any outside force, natural or accidental, so a limb dropped by a nor’easter or a summer storm is not covered. What BroGuard does cover is the material for life against factory defects and the performance for twenty years against clogging. In the Hudson Valley the bigger day to day risk is a trough packed with leaves when the rain or meltwater comes, and that is the part BroGuard guarantees.
It depends on the job. When BroGuard is installed with a new seamless gutter system from The Brothers That Just Do Gutters Hudson Valley, the entire system carries a Limited Lifetime Warranty. When it is added to your existing gutters, you get BroGuard’s twenty year performance guarantee against clogging plus its lifetime warranty against material defects.
That BroGuard Premier will keep the interior of your gutters from clogging, provided it was installed to BroGuard’s factory specifications. If any area fails, BroGuard will, at its sole discretion, replace that section with a new or reconditioned insert or refund 100 percent of the BroGuard Premier material cost. Labor and installer shipping costs are not included. It is a money back promise that the guard does its job, not a service agreement.
Under normal conditions of wear, BroGuard guarantees the finished product will not chip, bubble or flake, and that is part of the lifetime material defects warranty. The exclusions still apply: natural wear from weather or other unique environmental conditions is not covered. Hangers screwed into solid wood and a properly fastened guard are what let the system ride out snow load and freeze and thaw cycles.
Yes. The performance warranty guarantees BroGuard Premier will keep the inside of your gutters from clogging for twenty years when installed to factory specifications, and normal tree debris is the point. Here that means maple, oak and sycamore leaves in fall, maple seeds and oak catkins in spring, and pine needles year round. Clogging from unnatural causes, such as paint, caulk or adhesive in the mesh or someone tampering with it, is excluded.
It is void for damage from any outside force, natural or accidental; performance failures due to improper installation; damage during installation; natural wear from weather or unique environmental conditions; damage from chemicals; use other than the manufacturer intended; removal of the product; contact with dissimilar materials; and clogging from tampering or from paint, caulk or adhesive in the mesh. Painters working on older colonials and Victorians are the usual way that last one happens.
Yes. Whatever balance remains on the warranty transfers to the buyer of the home, and the transfer paperwork comes from BroGuard’s corporate headquarters. For a farmhouse or river town colonial going on the market, a transferable gutter guard warranty is a concrete item a buyer can check off.
