Why is it important that the gutter cover fits under the first row of shingles?
The difference in the height of a gutter cover that fits under the second row instead of the first row of shingles on a 5/12-pitch roof is approximately 1½ inches. This difference in height means that the gutter cover is much more visible which detracts from the appearance of the home. LeafProof® fits securely under the first row of your existing shingles and will provide a more finished look to your home’s exterior.
