The life span of gutter guards varies based on their material and type. Depending on how well you maintain them (and on the local climate), surface tension and brush guards can last up to 20 years. Foam guards can last up to a decade, although they often deteriorate faster in very wet or sunny climates. Plastic micro-mesh has a life span of around three years, while metal micro-mesh lasts around 12 years. For most other guard types, plastic will last between three and six years, steel between seven and 10 years, and aluminum between 10 and 20 years.
