A screen which is framed with smooth rounded edging is laid atop the roof above the gutter edge and held tightly in place with a clip specifically shaped to grip the outermost gutter lip, support the framed screen and press the screen downward onto the roof. A small extension of the clip inward toward the roof permits the clip to support the screen during installation, and to guide it as it is locked into place.
