What are Gutter Guards?
Rain gutters are basic and inexpensive considering the purpose they serve: protecting more valuable areas of your house. Gutters keep rain off the siding, windows, porch, deck and basement, routing it discreetly away from your home.
Therefore, anything that protects your gutters from damage and helps them work more efficiently is a great investment too.
Gutter guards are an inexpensive feature you can install on almost any type of gutters, and they function as a protective barrier for gutters so debris and pests won’t get inside of them. Installing gutter guards can be a money-saving measure that you’ll happy with for many years.
There are several types of gutter guard. The style you choose to install depends on your available budget and the type of rain gutters you have. Gutter guards are made of either aluminum, nylon or plastic.

Benefits of Gutter Guards
On average, gutter guards cost around as much per linear foot as the gutters themselves. In the long run, you’re going to save a lot of time and money by installing them. Here are a few of the reasons we recommend to install gutter guards on your home:
Improve Drainage by Preventing Clogs – Gutter guards help keep leaves and most debris out of your gutters. Otherwise larger pieces of debris settle in the gutter first, then smaller pieces collect around them. Of all the many gutter guard styles, all of them block larger leaves and pieces of debris from getting stuck to begin with.
Reduce Mold & Mildew Growth – Gutter guards help water to stream through the gutters faster because it is unhindered by large debris or leaves. Rain is one of the primary causes of mold and mildew growth, so moving the water faster through the gutters limits the amount of time rain remains sitting still, possibly leading to mold and mildew.
Prevent Pests from Nesting – Keeping squirrels, chipmunks, birds and insects out of your gutters and off the roof can be an endless struggle. Every style of gutter guard prevents animals from crafting nests inside of the gutter. A lot of homeowners choose to install gutter guards just for this reason.
Gutter Cleaning Less Often – Gutter guards have to be removed to clean the gutters, but if they are installed, this job won’t have to be done as regularly. Leaf guards reduce the frequency in which you need to clean out the gutters – or hire a professional to do it for you – so that you may only need to have them cleaned out once a year.
Protection From Fires – A typical way fires spread to homes is if embers fall into gutters that have dry debris in them. This debris fuels the fire until it grows and damages the roof, and then the rest of the home. A basic gutter guard installation can protect your home from this fire risk.
Prevent Ice Dams – If you happen to live in an area that gets frequent below-freezing temps, snow and sleet, you’ll be happy to know that gutter guards can help stop snow and ice from staying up on your roof. Their designs purposefully redirect melting snow and ice to get it off your roof faster.
These are all issues that impact hundreds of thousands of homes every year. Gutter guards protect a vital system that protects the rest of your house. If you’ve never thought about installing them before, it may be time to think about it.

Professional Gutter Guard Installation
You can see, there are a lot of benefits of gutter guards. While it may be tempting to run out and install the model you think will work best – how much different could they be, right? – you will still have to install them correctly. In the end, you’re much better off letting a professional gutter guard installer do the project for you.
Not only will their installation be more reliable than DIY work, but a professional gutter guard service and installer is going to be able to suggest the best type of gutter system for your home in the first place. They know all of the choices, and they will consider each factor in detail when making their recommendation.
Here are some of the factors a gutter guard company will think about when deciding the best gutter guards for your home:
Material – Gutter guards are made of aluminum, plastic, foam or a handful of different materials. Some gutter guards are made for temporary use and others are designed to last as long as your gutters. The material is a key factor in how long the gutter guards will last.
Installation method – The type of gutter guards we would encourage for a homeowner to install themselves is the drop in kind that don’t require any fastening to the gutters. However, these are not as dependable. Installing the other types, including snap-in and screw-on gutter guards, could destroy your gutters if they are not installed correctly.
Appearance – Some gutter guards offer a low profile so they cannot be seen from ground level, while some styles are very obvious. If that is an important condition, you will be limited on the style of gutter guard you can install, and limited even more by the style of gutters you have on your roof. If it is important for you to have low profile gutter guards installed, it might be necessary to buy new gutters too.
Warranty – Most gutter guard styles will come with a shorter warranty, but most of the aluminum types are guaranteed for at least 10-20 years. By hiring a licensed gutter guard installer in CITY (rather than doing it yourself), you won’t void your warranty. Gutter guards should never lift your shingles, nor should the installation void your roof’s warranty.
