The BroGuard warranty, and what it means under a South Sound canopy
A lifetime warranty on the material, twenty years on the performance, and one company accountable for the whole system. Here is what each one covers, and why a twenty year no-clog guarantee is a bigger claim in Pierce County than it is almost anywhere else.
Why a no-clog guarantee is a bigger promise here
Most gutter guard warranties cover the part and stop there. If the guard clogs, that is your problem. If the installer has moved on, that is also your problem.
BroGuard is written the other way round. The material carries a lifetime warranty against defects. The performance carries a twenty year guarantee that your gutters will not clog, backed by your money returned if it fails. Put it on with a new gutter system from us and the whole thing sits under one Limited Lifetime Warranty, from one company, with one number to call.
That is the context for a twenty year no-clog guarantee in Pierce County. Needles are the hardest debris for any guard to handle because they are small enough to sit in a mesh rather than blow off it, and our needle drop does not stop after one autumn week. Add the moss that takes hold in a wet, shaded trough and you have the two conditions that quietly defeat most gutter protection sold around here.
BroGuard is metal micro-mesh with an opening sized for exactly this problem, and the warranty is BroGuard putting money behind that claim rather than a brochure line about it. Read the terms below and you will see precisely what they will do if it fails.
The warranty, in BroGuard’s own words
Everything below is reproduced exactly as BroGuard writes it. We have not paraphrased a single line of it, because a warranty you are relying on should be the words that actually bind, not our summary of them.
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 people actually ask
That is the right question to ask any guard here, and it is what the twenty year performance warranty is for. BroGuard guarantees the inside of your gutters will not clog when it is installed to factory specification, and backs that with your money returned. Read the exact terms above, including what is excluded, so you know what you are relying on before you buy.
Moss growing on the mesh itself is different from the trough clogging underneath it, and the warranty is about the trough. A metal mesh gives moss far less to hold than an open gutter full of wet needle litter, but in deep shade nothing on a Pacific Northwest roof stays pristine without a look at it occasionally.
It depends how it goes on. With a new gutter system from The Brothers That Just Do Gutters, the whole system is backed by a Limited Lifetime Warranty. Added to gutters you already have, you get the twenty year performance guarantee against clogging plus the lifetime warranty against material defects.
That BroGuard Premier will keep the inside of your gutters from clogging when installed to factory specification. If an area fails, BroGuard either replaces that section with a new or reconditioned insert, or refunds 100 percent of the material cost. Labor and installer shipping are not included.
Under normal wear it is guaranteed not to chip, bubble or flake, and that sits inside the lifetime material defects warranty. In a climate that is wet for eight months of the year, a finish warranty is worth more than it sounds.
Damage from outside forces, natural or accidental. Failures caused by improper installation. Damage during installation. Chemical damage. Removal of the product. Contact with dissimilar materials. Natural wear from weather or unusual environmental conditions. And clogging caused by tampering, or by paint, caulk or adhesive getting into the mesh, which is worth remembering before anyone moss-treats a roof above it.
Yes. The balance transfers with the house, and change of ownership forms come from BroGuard’s corporate headquarters. On a South Sound home with heavy tree cover, a transferable no-clog warranty is a genuinely useful thing to hand a buyer.
