What are Gutter Guards?

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

That means, anything that can protect your gutters and helps them function even more efficiently is a smart investment too.

Gutter guards are an inexpensive feature you can add to almost any type of gutters, and they work as a protective shield for your gutters so large debris and animals can’t get inside of them. Buying gutter guards can be a money-saving measure that you’ll be rewarded for for many years.

There are a lot of styles of gutter guard. The type you install depends on your available budget and the type of rain gutters you have. 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 a lot of time and money by installing them. Here are a few of the reasons we recommend to install gutter guards on your roof:

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

Reduce Mold & Mildew Growth – Gutter guards help water to stream through the gutters quickly because it is unhindered by any debris or leaves. Water is one of the main causes of mold and mildew growth, so moving the water faster through the gutters reduces the amount of 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 can be a constant battle. Every style of gutter guard prevents animals from crafting nests inside of the gutter. Some homeowners decide to install gutter guards for no other reason than this.

Gutter Cleaning Less Often – Gutter guards have to be removed in order to clean the gutters, but if they are present, this project won’t have to be done as often. Leaf guards reduce the frequency in which you need to clean gutters – or have someone to do the job for you – so that you may only need to have them cleaned only once a year.

Protection From Fires – A typical way fires spread to homes is if embers fall into gutters where there is dry debris. This debris gives the fire fuel until it grows and damages the roof, followed by the entire 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 frequent below-freezing temperatures, snow and sleet, you’ll be interested to know that gutter guards help prevent snow and ice from staying up on your roof. Their unique designs redirect melting snow and ice to get it off your roof faster.

These are all issues that impact hundreds of thousands of homes each year. Gutter guards protect a vital system that protects the rest of your house. If you’ve never considered installing them before, it could be time to think about it.

Professional Gutter Guard Installation

As you can see, there are a lot of benefits of gutter guards. While it may be tempting to go out and purchase the model you think will work best – how much different could they really be, right? – you will still have to install them properly. 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 your DIY work, but a professional gutter guard service and installer will be able to suggest the best type of gutter for your home in the first place. They know all of the styles, and they will consider each factor carefully when making their recommendation.

Here are some of the factors a gutter guard service will consider when choosing 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 made for temporary usage and some are designed to last just as long as your gutters will. The construction 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 kind that don’t require any fastening to the gutters. Installing other types, including snap-in and screw-on gutter guards, could destroy your rain 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 type of gutter guard you can install, and limited even more by the style of gutters you have. If it is important for you to have “invisible” gutter guards installed, it might be necessary to buy new gutters too.

Warranty – Some gutter guard styles will come with a short manufacturer’s warranty, but most of the aluminum types are guaranteed for at least 10-20 years. By hiring a licensed gutter guard installer in Newark (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.

Another great thing about having Newark Gutter Solutions install your gutter guards is that we’ll return and repair them for FREE if there is any issue related to the installation.

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