What are Gutter Guards?

Gutters are simple and inexpensive considering the purpose they serve: protecting much more valuable parts of your house. Gutters keep rain off the wood or siding, windows, porch, deck and basement, routing it away from your foundation.

Therefore, anything that protects your gutters and helps them function even more efficiently is a great investment as well.

Gutter guards are an affordable product you can add to any style of gutters, and they work as a protective screen for your gutters so debris and pests aren’t able to get inside of them. Buying gutter screens can be a money-saving measure that you’ll thank yourself for many years.

There are a lot of styles of gutter guard. The type you install will depend on your available budget and the type of rain gutters you have on your home. Gutter guards are made of aluminum, nylon or plastic.

Dublin Gutter Service installs all styles of gutter guards in CITY.

Benefits of Gutter Guards

On average, gutter guards cost around as much per linear foot as the gutters cost themselves. But in the long run, you’re going to save a lot of time and money installing them. Here are some of the reasons we recommend to install gutter guards on your house:

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

Reduce Mold & Mildew Growth – Gutter guards allow water to flow through the gutters quickly because it is unhindered by large debris or leaves. Water is one of the main causes of mold and mildew growth, so moving the water faster through the gutters limits the amount of time rain spends 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 is often a constant struggle. Every type of gutter guard prevents pests from crafting nests within the gutter. A lot of homeowners choose to install gutter guards for no other reason than this.

Gutter Cleaning Less Often – Gutter guards have to be removed to clean the gutters, but if they are installed, this project won’t have to be done as often. Leaf guards can cut down the frequency that you have to clean gutters – or have someone to do the work for you – so that you may only need to have them cleaned only once each year.

Protection From Fires – A typical way fires spread to homes is when embers fall inside of gutters where there is dry debris. This debris fuels the fire until it becomes too large and damages the roof, and then the rest of the home. A standard gutter guard installation can protect your home from this fire risk.

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

These are all problems that impact hundreds of thousands of homes every year. Gutter guards protect an important system that protects the rest of your home. If you’ve never considered installing them before, it might 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 buy the model you think will be the best – how much different could they really be, right? – you still have to install them correctly. Ultimately, you’re much better off letting a professional gutter guard installer do the job for you.

Not only will professional installation be more reliable than your 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 house 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 things a gutter guard service will think about when choosing the best gutter guards for your home:

Material – Gutter guards are made of aluminum, plastic, foam or a handful of other materials. Some are designed for temporary usage while some are built to last as long as your gutters will. The material is a key role in how long the gutter guards will last.

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

Appearance – A lot of gutter guards offer a low profile so they aren’t visible from ground level, while some styles are very obvious. If that is an important requirement, you are limited on the style of gutter guard you can install, 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 might be necessary to install new gutters.

Warranty – Most gutter guard styles will come with a shorter manufacturer’s warranty, however most of the aluminum models are guaranteed to last for at least 10-20 years. By hiring a licensed gutter guard installer in CITY (rather than doing it on your own), you won’t void the warranty. Gutter guards should never lift your shingles, nor should the installation void your roof’s warranty.

Another great thing by having Dublin Gutter Service install your new gutter guards is that we’ll come back and repair them free of charge if there is an issue related to the installation from our team.

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