Are gutter guards worth it?

They help most where trees overhang the roof. They are not a substitute for correct sizing, pitch and downspout placement.

What size gutters do I need?

Most homes here are served properly by 5-inch K-style; larger or steeper roofs and big valley areas often need 6-inch to keep up with heavy Midwest rain.

Can gutters be part of a storm claim?

Often yes. Hail-dented gutters and downspouts are part of the damage, and they also help corroborate the date of the event.
