What are Gutter Guards?

Rain gutters are basic and affordable considering how important they are: protecting more valuable areas of your house. Gutters keep rain water off the wood or siding, windows, patio, deck and basement, routing it discreetly away from your home.

That means, anything that can protect your gutters from damage and helps them work more efficiently is a smart investment.

Gutter guards are a low cost feature you can add to any type of gutters, and they work as a protective screen for gutters so debris and pests won’t get inside of them. Installing gutter screens can be a money-saving decision that you’ll be rewarded for for year after year.

There are many types of gutter guard. The type you install depends on your budget and the type of gutters you have. Gutter guards are made of either aluminum, nylon or plastic.

Benefits of Gutter Guards

Typically, gutter guards will cost around as much per linear foot as the gutters cost themselves. But in the long run, you will save time and money by installing them. Here are some of the reasons we encourage you to install gutter guards on your roof:

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

Reduce Mold & Mildew Growth – Gutter guards allow water to stream through the gutters faster since it is unhindered by any debris or leaves. Water is one of the primary causes of mold and mildew to grow, therefore moving the water faster through the gutters reduces the amount of time rain remains sitting still, 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 battle. Every style of gutter guard prevents pests from building nests within the gutter. A lot of 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 present, this job won’t have to be done nearly as frequently. Leaf guards reduce the frequency in which you have to clean gutters – or have someone to do it for you – so that you may only need to have them cleaned only once each year.

Protection From Fires – A common way fires spread to homes is when embers fall inside of gutters where there is dry debris. This debris gives the fire fuel until it grows and damages the roof, followed by the rest of the house. A standard 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 ice, you’ll be interested to know that gutter guards help stop snow and ice from staying up on your roof. Their unique designs redirect melting snow and ice to get it off your roof much faster.

These are all issues that impact hundreds of thousands of American homes each year. Gutter guards protect an important system that protects the rest of your home. If you haven’t considered installing them before, it could be time to think about it.

Professional Gutter Guard Installation

You can see, there are many benefits of gutter guards. While it might be tempting to run out and install the model you think will be the best – how much different could they be, right? – you still have to install them properly. Ultimately, you’re much better off having a professional gutter guard installation company do the job for you.

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

Here are a few of the factors a gutter guard company will take into account when deciding 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 while some are built to last just as long as your gutters will. The material is a key factor in how long gutter guards will last.

Installation method – The only style of gutter guards we would recommend for a homeowner to install on their own is the drop in kind that do not require any fastening to the gutters. However, these are not as dependable. Installing other types, including snap-in and screw-on gutter guards, might damage your gutters if they’re not installed the right way.

Appearance – Some gutter guards boast a low profile so they cannot be seen from ground level, while others are visible. If this is an important condition, you are limited on the style of gutter guard you can install, and limited even more by the type of gutters you have. If it is very important for you to have low profile gutter guards, it might be necessary to buy new gutters too.

Warranty – A lot of gutter guard styles will come with a short manufacturer’s warranty, however most of the aluminum types are guaranteed for at least 10-20 years. By having a licensed gutter guard installation company in Green Bay (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.

Another great thing by having Green Bay Gutters Inc. install your new gutter guards is that we’ll come back and repair them free of charge if there is an issue due to the installation.

Your budget is, of course, the final factor in choosing which gutter guards you will have installed. We provide a wide range of options for all budgets, and will provide the benefits listed above, to one degree or another.
