What are Gutter Guards?

Rain gutters are fairly simple and low cost considering the purpose they serve: protecting more valuable areas of your house. Gutters help keep rain off the siding, windows, patio, deck and basement, routing it discreetly away from your foundation.

Therefore, anything that protects your gutters from damage and helps them work even more efficiently is a great investment.

Gutter guards are an affordable product you can install on any style of gutters, and they function as a protective screen for your gutters so debris and pests aren’t able to get inside of them. Installing gutter screens can be a money-saving choice that you’ll thank yourself for year after year.

There are several types of gutter guard. The style you choose to install will depend on your budget and the type of rain gutters you have on your home. Gutter guards are made of either aluminum, nylon or plastic.

Benefits of Gutter Guards

Typically, gutter guards cost around as much per linear foot as the gutters themselves. In the long run, you will save time and money 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 most debris out of your gutters. Otherwise big pieces of debris settle in the gutter first, then small pieces of debris collect around them. Of all the different gutter guard models, all of them block larger pieces of debris from getting stuck to start with.

Reduce Mold & Mildew Growth – Gutter guards help water to flow through the gutters quickly because it isn’t blocked by large debris. Rain is one of the major reasons for mold and mildew growth, therefore moving the water faster through the gutters reduces the time rain is sitting still, leading to mold and mildew.

Prevent Pests from Nesting – Keeping squirrels, chipmunks, birds and insects out of rain gutters and off the roof is often an endless battle. Every model of gutter guard prevents pests from building nests inside of the gutter. Many homeowners decide to install gutter guards just for this reason.

Gutter Cleaning Less Often – Gutter guards must be removed to clean the gutters, but if they are present, this project doesn’t have to be done as regularly. Leaf guards can reduce the frequency that you need to clean gutters – or or hire a company to do the work for you – so that you may only have to have them cleaned out once a year.

Protection From Fires – A common way fires spread to homes is when embers fall into gutters where there is dry debris. This debris fuels the fire until it becomes too large and damages the roof, followed by the entire home. A basic gutter guard installation can protect your home from the risk of fire.

Prevent Ice Dams – If you happen to live in an area that gets below-freezing temperatures, snow and sleet, you’ll be interested to know that gutter guards can help stop snow and ice from staying up on your roof. Their unique designs purposefully redirect melting snow and ice to get it off your roof faster.

These are all problems that affect hundreds of thousands of homes each year. Gutter guards protect an important system that protects the rest of the home. If you haven’t 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 go out and purchase the type you think will be the best – how much different could they be, right? – you still have to install them correctly. All things considered, you’re much better off having a professional gutter guard installer do the project for you.

Not only will their installation be more reliable than your DIY work, but a local gutter guard service and installer is going to be able to recommend the best type of gutter for your home in the first place. They know all of the styles, and they will consider each factor in detail when making their recommendation.

Here are some of the factors a gutter guard company will consider when deciding the perfect gutter guards for your home:

Material – Gutter guards can be manufactured with aluminum, plastic, foam or a handful of other materials. Some are made for temporary use while others are built to last just as long as your gutters will. The construction is a key factor in how long the gutter guards will last.

Installation method – The only style of gutter guards we would suggest for a homeowner to install themselves is the drop in kind that do not require any fastening to the gutters. Installing the other types, including snap-in and screw-on gutter guards, might destroy your rain gutters if they’re not installed correctly.

Appearance – Some gutter guards offer a low profile so they aren’t visible from ground level, while some styles are visible. If that is an important requirement, you are limited on the type of gutter guard you can have, and limited even more by the type of gutters you have on your roof. If it is important for you to have “invisible” gutter guards, it may be necessary to buy new gutters.

Warranty – Some gutter guard styles will come with a short warranty, however most of the aluminum types are guaranteed for at least 10-20 years. By hiring a licensed gutter guard installation company in Mansfield (instead of doing it on your own), you won’t void your warranty. Gutter guards should not lift your shingles, nor should the installation void your roof’s warranty.
