1. A modular platform for configuring a gutter guard system for installation onto a gutter system, the modular platform comprising:
a plurality of main bodies;
a plurality of screens arranged to be assembled with at least one of the plurality of main bodies;
a plurality of front receivers arranged to be selectively and reversibly assembled with at least one of the plurality of main bodies; and
a plurality of rear receivers arranged to be selectively and reversibly assembled with at least one of the main bodies, wherein each of the plurality of rear receivers comprises:
a channel arranged to engage the rear receiver with at least one of the main bodies of the plurality of main bodies, the channel comprising:
an upper member with a top surface and a bottom surface;
a lower member with a top surface and a bottom surface, positioned below the upper member when the rear receiver is engaged with at least one of the main bodies; and
a vertical member connecting the upper member to the lower member, wherein the vertical member includes one or more apertures positioned through the vertical member;
wherein, when the plurality of screens, plurality of front receivers, and the plurality of rear receivers are assembled with the plurality of main bodies, a gutter guard system is formed.
