Most gutter guards promise the world but still leave you climbing ladders to clear debris.
LeafGuard takes a completely different approach—instead of adding another layer to your existing gutters, they replace your entire system with a one-piece design that's engineered so debris never gets inside.

The science is pretty straightforward: water follows the curved hood into the gutter using liquid adhesion, while leaves, pine needles, and debris roll right off. No joints mean no leaks, and the aluminum is 20% thicker than standard gutters. With over 650,000 ladder-related injuries happening annually, eliminating gutter maintenance isn't just convenient—it's smart.

Connecticut Lifestyles readers can take advantage of 75% off installation plus an additional $200 off. That's significant savings on a system backed by a lifetime no-clog guarantee and 25+ years of proven performance.

SUNDAY EVENTS ACROSS CONNECTICUT

TODAY IN CONNECTICUT HISTORY

The Birth of “The Best Built Car in America”

In the early 1900s, Connecticut was home to one of America’s most prestigious automakers — the Locomobile Company of Bridgeport.

Originally known for its steam-powered cars, the company shifted gears in 1902 when former race car driver and engineer Andrew Riker introduced the brand’s first gasoline-powered luxury model. Personally driving the $4,000 car from Bridgeport to New York City to deliver it to its new owner, Riker marked a bold new chapter in automotive history.

The Locomobile quickly became a symbol of wealth and craftsmanship, boasting leather interiors, bronze and silver fittings, and even details by Tiffany & Co. Prices soared to the equivalent of over $100,000 today — a statement of status and style that attracted high-profile buyers like President Warren G. Harding, who proudly drove a $9,000 Locomobile during his presidency.

Backed by racing triumphs like the 1908 Vanderbilt Cup, the company’s slogan, “The Best Built Car in America,” wasn’t just marketing — it was a point of pride. Though the Great Depression ultimately ended its run, the Locomobile’s legacy lives on as a Connecticut-made icon of early American innovation and luxury.
