What are Gutter Guards?

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

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

Gutter guards are a low cost feature you can install on any style of gutters, and they function as a protective screen for your gutters so debris and pests aren’t able to get inside of them. Buying gutter guards can be a money-saving choice that you’ll thank yourself for many years.

There are a lot of styles of gutter guard. The type you choose to 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.

Benefits of Gutter Guards

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

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

Reduce Mold & Mildew Growth – Gutter guards allow water to flow through the gutters quickly because it is unhindered by any large debris. Water is one of the main reasons for mold and mildew to grow, therefore moving the water faster through the gutters limits the amount of time rain is 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 can be a constant battle. Every type of gutter guard stops pests from building nests within the gutter. Some 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 project doesn’t have to be done as regularly. Leaf guards cut down 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 a year.

Protection From Fires – A typical way fires spread to homes is when 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 rest of the house. A standard 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 below-freezing temperatures, snow and ice, you’ll be interested to know that gutter guards help prevent snow and ice from staying up on your roof. Their designs purposefully redirect melting snow and ice to get it off your roof faster.

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

Professional Gutter Guard Installation

As you can see, there are several benefits of gutter guards. While it might be tempting to run out and buy the type you think will be the best – how much different could they be, right? – you will still have to install them properly. In the end, you’re much better off letting a professional gutter guard installation service do the job for you.

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

Here are a few of the factors a gutter guard company will think about when recommending the best gutter guards for your home:

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

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

Appearance – Many gutter guards offer a low profile so they cannot be seen from ground level, while some styles are very obvious. If this is an important requirement, you will be limited on the type of gutter guard you can have, and limited even more by the style of gutters you have on your home. If it is important for you to have “invisible” gutter guards, it may be necessary to install new gutters.

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

Another great thing about having Clear & Clean Gutters of Corvallis install your new gutter guards is that we’ll return and repair them for FREE if there is an issue due to the installation.

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