What are Gutter Guards?

Gutters are basic and affordable considering how important they are: protecting much more valuable parts of your home. Gutters keep rain off the wood or siding, windows, porch, deck and basement, routing it away from your house.

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

Gutter guards are an inexpensive feature you can add to any style of gutters, and they function as a protective shield for your gutters so large debris and pests can’t get inside of them. Buying gutter guards can be a money-saving decision that you’ll happy with for many years.

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

Benefits of Gutter Guards

Typically, gutter guards cost around as much per linear foot as the gutters themselves. But in the long run, you’re going to save 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 larger pieces of debris settle in the gutter first, then small pieces of debris collect around them. Of all the different gutter guard styles, all of them stop larger leaves and pieces of debris from becoming stuck to begin with.

Reduce Mold & Mildew Growth – Gutter guards help water to flow through the gutters quickly because it isn’t blocked by debris. Rain is one of the main causes of mold and mildew growth, therefore moving the water faster through the gutters reduces the time rain spends 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 is often an endless struggle. Every style of gutter guard prevents animals from crafting nests inside of the gutter. Many homeowners decide to install gutter guards just for this reason.

Gutter Cleaning Less Often – Gutter guards need to be removed to clean the gutters, but if they are present, this project won’t have to be done nearly as frequently. Leaf guards can cut down the frequency that you need to clean out the gutters – or hire a professional to do it for you – so that you may only have to have them cleaned out once each year.

Protection From Fires – A typical way fires spread to homes is when embers fall into gutters that have dry debris in them. This debris gives the fire fuel until it grows and damages the roof, followed by the entire house. 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 frequent 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 redirect melting ice and snow to get it off your roof faster.

These are all problems that affect hundreds of thousands of American homes every year. Gutter guards protect an important system that protects the rest of the house. If you haven’t thought about installing them before, it could be time to think about it.

Professional Gutter Guard Installation

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

Not only will their installation be much more reliable than DIY work, but a professional gutter guard service and installer should be able to recommend the best type of gutter system for your house in the first place. They know all of the options, and they will consider each factor carefully when making their recommendation.

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

Material – Gutter guards are manufactured with aluminum, plastic, foam or a handful of different materials. Some are made for temporary use while some are built to last just as long as your gutters will. The material plays a key role in how long the gutter guards will last.

Installation method – The style of gutter guards we would recommend for a homeowner to install themselves is the drop in kind that do not require fastening to the gutters. However, these are not as dependable. Installing the other types, including snap-in and screw-on gutter guards, can destroy your gutters if they are 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 this 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. If it is very important for you to have “invisible” gutter guards installed, it may be necessary for you to install new gutters too.

Warranty – Many gutter guard styles will come with a shorter manufacturer’s warranty, but most of the aluminum models are guaranteed for 10-20 years. By having a licensed gutter guard installer in Strongsville (instead of doing it yourself), you won’t void the warranty. Gutter guards should not lift your shingles, nor should the installation void your roof’s warranty.

Another great thing about having ASAP Gutter Service install your new gutter guards is that we’ll return and fix them free of charge if there is any issue related to the installation.

Your budget is, of course, the last 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.
