NEED GUTTER GUARDS?
What are Gutter Guards?
Gutters are fairly simple and affordable considering the purpose they serve: protecting much more valuable parts of your home. Gutters keep rain water off the wood or siding, windows, porch, deck and basement, routing it away from your home.
Therefore, anything that can protect your gutters from damage and helps them function more efficiently is a good investment too.
Gutter guards are an affordable product you can install on almost any style of gutters, and they serve as a protective screen for gutters so debris and animals can’t get inside of them. Purchasing gutter guards 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 choose to install depends on your available budget and the type of gutters you have on your home. Gutter guards are made of aluminum, nylon or plastic.

Benefits of Gutter Guards
On average, gutter guards cost about as much per linear foot as the gutters cost themselves. In the long run, you’re going to save time and money by installing them. Here are some of the reasons we encourage you to install gutter guards on your roof:
Improve Drainage by Preventing Clogs – Gutter guards keep debris out of your gutters. Otherwise large pieces of debris settle in the gutter first, then smaller pieces of debris collect around them. Of all the many gutter guard styles, all of them stop larger pieces of debris from getting stuck to start with.
Reduce Mold & Mildew Growth – Gutter guards allow water to stream through the gutters faster since it isn’t blocked by any large debris or leaves. Rain is one of the main causes of mold and mildew growth, therefore moving the water faster through the gutters reduces 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 gutters and off the roof is often a constant battle. Every style of gutter guard stops animals from crafting nests within the gutter. Some homeowners choose to install gutter guards for this reason alone.
Gutter Cleaning Less Often – Gutter guards need to be removed to clean the gutters, but if they are installed, this job doesn’t have to be done nearly as frequently. Leaf guards reduce the frequency in which you need to clean out the gutters – or hire a professional to do the work for you – so that you might only have to have them cleaned out once each year.
Protection From Fires – A common way fires spread to homes is when embers fall into gutters where there is dry debris. This debris fuels the fire until it becomes too large and damages the roof, and then the entire home. A standard gutter guard installation can protect your home from the risk of fire.
Prevent Ice Dams – If you live in an area that gets below-freezing temperatures, snow and ice, you’ll be interested to know that gutter guards can help stop snow and ice from staying up on your roof. Their designs redirect melting ice and snow to get it off your roof much faster.
These are all problems that affect hundreds of thousands of homes each year. Gutter guards protect a vital system that protects the rest of the home. 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 several benefits of gutter guards. While it might be tempting to go out and purchase the type you think will be the best – how much different could they really be, right? – you still have to install them correctly. In the end, you’re much better off letting a professional gutter guard installer do the project for you.
Not only will their installation be much more reliable than your DIY work, but a local gutter guard service and installer should be able to recommend the best type of gutter for your house 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 deciding the best gutter guards for your home:
Material – Gutter guards can be manufactured with aluminum, plastic, foam or a handful of other materials. Some gutter guards are designed for temporary usage and some are built to last just as long as your gutters. The construction is a key role in how long the gutter guards will last.
Installation method – The type of gutter guards we would recommend for a homeowner to install on their own is the drop in kind that do not require any fastening to the gutters. Installing the other types, including snap-in and screw-on gutter guards, can destroy your rain gutters if they are not installed the right way.
Appearance – Many gutter guards offer a low profile so they aren’t visible from ground level, while some styles are visible. If that is an important condition, you are limited on the style of gutter guard you can have, and limited even more by the style of gutters you have. If it is important for you to have low profile gutter guards installed, it might be necessary to buy new gutters as well.
Warranty – Some gutter guard styles will come with a shorter warranty, however most of the aluminum models are guaranteed to last for at least 10-20 years. By having a licensed gutter guard installation company in Fayetteville (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.
