What are Gutter Guards?

Rain gutters are fairly basic and affordable considering the purpose they serve: protecting more valuable areas of your house. Gutters help keep rain off the siding, windows, patio, deck and basement, directing it away from your home.

Therefore, anything that can protect your gutters and helps them function more efficiently is a good investment.

Gutter guards are an inexpensive feature you can install on any type of gutters, and they serve as a protective screen for gutters so debris and animals aren’t able to get inside of them. Installing leaf guards can be a money-saving choice that you’ll thank yourself for year after year.

There are a lot of styles of gutter guard. The type you install depends 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 cost themselves. But in the long run, you will save a lot of time and money by installing them. Here are a few of the reasons we think you should install gutter guards on your house:

Improve Drainage by Preventing Clogs – Gutter guards help keep most debris out of your gutters. Otherwise big pieces settle in the gutter first, then small pieces of debris pile up around them. Of all the many gutter guard models, all of them block these larger leaves and pieces of debris from becoming stuck to begin with.

Reduce Mold & Mildew Growth – Gutter guards allow water to flow through the gutters faster because it is unhindered by any large debris. Water is one of the main causes of mold and mildew growth, therefore moving the water faster through the gutters limits the time rain remains sitting still, possibly leading to mold and mildew.

Prevent Pests from Nesting – Keeping squirrels, chipmunks, birds and insects out of rain gutters and off the roof can be an endless battle. Every type of gutter guard stops pests from building nests within the gutter. Many homeowners choose to install gutter guards just for this reason.

Gutter Cleaning Less Often – Gutter guards must be removed in order to clean the gutters, but if they are installed, this job won’t have to be done as often. Leaf guards can cut down the frequency that you need to clean gutters – or or hire a company to do it for you – so that you might only need 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 rest of the home. A simple gutter guard installation can protect your home from this fire risk.

Prevent Ice Dams – If you live in an area that gets frequent 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 designs purposefully redirect melting ice and snow to get it off your roof much faster.

These are all issues that affect hundreds of thousands of homes every year. Gutter guards protect an important system that protects the rest of your home. 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 many benefits of gutter guards. While it may be tempting to go out and install the type you think will work best – how different could they really be, right? – you still have to install them correctly. In the end, you’re much better off letting a professional gutter guard installer do the job for you.

Not only will professional installation be a lot more reliable than DIY work, but a local gutter guard service and installer should be able to suggest the best type of gutter system for your home in the first place. They are familiar with all of the choices, and they will consider each factor in detail when making their recommendation.

Here are a few of the things a gutter guard company will think about when determining the best gutter guards for your home:

Material – Gutter guards can be manufactured with aluminum, plastic, foam or a handful of different materials. Some gutter guards are designed for temporary usage and others are designed to last as long as your gutters. The material is a key role in how long gutter guards will last.

Installation method – The type of gutter guards we would recommend for a homeowner to install themselves is the drop in type that don’t require fastening to the gutters. Installing the other types, including snap-in and screw-on gutter guards, could damage your rain gutters if they’re not installed the right way.

Appearance – Some gutter guards boast a low profile so they aren’t visible from ground level, while some styles are very obvious. If this is an important requirement, you are limited on the style of gutter guard you can have, and limited even more by the type of gutters you have. If it is very important for you to have low profile gutter guards installed, it might be necessary for you to buy new gutters too.

Warranty – A lot of gutter guard styles will come with a shorter manufacturer’s warranty, however most of the aluminum types are guaranteed to last for 10-20 years. By hiring a licensed gutter guard installer in Maineville (rather than doing it yourself), you won’t void your warranty. Gutter guards should not lift your shingles, nor should the installation void your roof’s warranty.
