What are Gutter Guards?

Gutters are fairly simple and inexpensive considering how important they are: protecting much more valuable areas of your home. Gutters help keep rain water off the siding, windows, porch, deck and basement, directing it discreetly away from your foundation.

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

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

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

Benefits of Gutter Guards

On average, gutter guards cost about 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 a few of the reasons we encourage you to install gutter guards on your roof:

Improve Drainage by Preventing Clogs – Gutter guards help keep leaves and most debris out of your gutters. Otherwise large 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 prevent these larger pieces of debris from becoming stuck to begin with.

Reduce Mold & Mildew Growth – Gutter guards allow water to stream through the gutters quickly because it is unhindered by large debris or leaves. Rain is one of the primary causes of mold and mildew growth, therefore moving the water faster through the gutters reduces the 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 is often an endless battle. Every model of gutter guard prevents animals from crafting nests inside of the gutter. Many homeowners choose to install gutter guards for no other reason than this.

Gutter Cleaning Less Often – Gutter guards must be removed to clean the gutters, but if they are installed, this job won’t have to be done as regularly. Leaf guards can cut down the frequency that you have to clean out the gutters – or or hire a company to do it for you – so that you might only need to have them cleaned only once each year.

Protection From Fires – A typical way fires spread to homes is if embers fall inside of 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 simple 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 sleet, you’ll be interested to know that gutter guards help stop 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 affect hundreds of thousands of American homes every year. Gutter guards protect an important system that protects the rest of your house. 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 buy the type you think will be the best – how much different could they be, right? – you still have to install them properly. All things considered, you’re much better off letting a professional gutter guard installation service do the job for you.

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

Here are some of the things a gutter guard service will think about when deciding the perfect gutter guards for your home:

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

Installation method – The style of gutter guards we would recommend for a homeowner to install on their own is the drop in type that do not require fastening to the gutters. Installing other types, including snap-in and screw-on gutter guards, can destroy your rain gutters if they’re not installed correctly.

Appearance – Many 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 will be limited on the type of gutter guard you can have, and limited even more by the type of gutters you have on your roof. If it is important for you to have low profile gutter guards, it may be necessary to install new gutters too.

Warranty – Some gutter guard styles will come with a short manufacturer’s warranty, but most of the aluminum models are guaranteed for 10-20 years. By hiring a licensed gutter guard installation company in Kenosha (rather than doing it yourself), you won’t void your warranty. Gutter guards should not lift your shingles, nor should their installation void your roof’s warranty.

Another great thing by having QuickClean Kenosha Gutters install your gutter guards is that we’ll return and fix them free of charge if there is an issue due to the installation.

Your budget is, of course, the last factor in choosing the 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.
