Abstract
A gutter hanger and covering system used to simultaneously hang and cover a gutter includes a dual-purpose gutter guard. The dual-purpose guard connects to the gutter by engaging a gutter lip and a rear gutter wall. The guard covers an open top of the gutter and defines openings for water passage and debris filtration. The guard can include a screw section for pre-installing screws used during installation. The guard includes a channel for retaining a portion of the overlay panel therein to mount the overlay panel on the guard. The system can comprise a non-hanger covering panel of a different profile than the dual-purpose gutter guard for use in forming mitered corners or as a removable access panel. The system can also comprise an overlay panel configured to prevent finer debris from entering the gutter.
