What are Gutter Guards?

Gutters are basic and affordable considering the purpose they serve: protecting much more valuable areas of your home. Gutters keep rain off the wood or siding, windows, patio, deck and basement, directing it discreetly away from your foundation.

Therefore, anything that can protect your gutters from damage and helps them work more efficiently is a good investment.

Gutter guards are a low cost product you can install on almost any style of gutters, and they work as a protective barrier for gutters so large debris and animals can’t get inside of them. Buying gutter guards can be a money-saving decision that you’ll be rewarded for for year after year.

There are many types of gutter guard. The type you choose to install depends on your budget and the type of rain gutters you have on your home. Gutter guards are made of either 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 time and money by installing them. Here are some 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 different gutter guard styles, all of them prevent these larger leaves and pieces of debris from getting stuck to start with.

Reduce Mold & Mildew Growth – Gutter guards help water to flow through the gutters quickly because it isn’t blocked by any debris or leaves. Rain is one of the major reasons for mold and mildew to grow, therefore moving the water faster through the gutters reduces the amount of time rain spends 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 can be an endless struggle. Every style of gutter guard prevents pests from building nests inside of the gutter. Many homeowners choose to install gutter guards just for this reason.

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

Protection From Fires – A typical 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 rest of the house. A basic 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 sleet, you’ll be happy to know that gutter guards help stop snow and ice from staying up on your roof. Their designs purposefully redirect melting ice and snow to get it off your roof much 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 the house. If you’ve never thought about installing them before, it may be time to think about it.

Professional Gutter Guard Installation

As you can see, there are many benefits of gutter guards. While it might be tempting to run out and buy the type you think will work best – how different could they really be, right? – you still have to install them correctly. Ultimately, you’re much better off letting a professional gutter guard installer do the project for you.

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

Here are a few of the factors a gutter guard company will consider when determining the best gutter guards for your home:

Material – Gutter guards can be made of aluminum, plastic, foam or a handful of different materials. Some gutter guards are made for temporary use while some are built to last 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 encourage for a homeowner to install themselves is the drop in type that don’t require any fastening to the gutters. However, these are not as dependable. Installing other types, including snap-in and screw-on gutter guards, could destroy your rain gutters if they are not installed correctly.

Appearance – Many gutter guards boast a low profile so they cannot be seen from ground level, while some styles are very obvious. 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 purchase new gutters as well.

Warranty – Many gutter guard styles will come with a short warranty, however most of the aluminum types are guaranteed to last for 10-20 years. By hiring a licensed gutter guard installation company in Cherry Hill (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 Cherry Hill Gutters install your gutter guards is that we’ll return and repair them free of charge if there is an 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 wide range of options for all budgets, and will provide the benefits listed above, to one degree or another.
