NEED GUTTER GUARDS?
What are Gutter Guards?
Gutters are fairly basic and affordable considering how important they are: protecting much more valuable parts of your house. Gutters help keep rain water off the siding, windows, patio, deck and basement, routing it discreetly away from your house.
Therefore, anything that can protect your gutters and helps them function even more efficiently is a great investment.
Gutter guards are a low cost product you can add to any style of gutters, and they work as a protective barrier for gutters so large debris and animals aren’t able to get inside of them. Buying gutter screens can be a money-saving choice that you’ll happy with for many years.
There are a lot of types of gutter guard. The style you choose to install depends 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
Typically, gutter guards 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 installing them. Here are a few of the reasons we encourage you to install gutter guards on your home:
Improve Drainage by Preventing Clogs – Gutter guards help keep leaves and most debris out of your gutters. Otherwise big pieces of debris settle in the gutter first, then smaller pieces collect around them. Of all the many gutter guard styles, all of them stop these larger pieces of debris from becoming stuck to start with.
Reduce Mold & Mildew Growth – Gutter guards allow water to stream through the gutters quickly because it is unhindered by any debris or leaves. Water is one of the major reasons for mold and mildew to grow, therefore moving the water faster through the gutters limits the time rain is 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 struggle. Every type of gutter guard stops pests from building nests inside of the gutter. A lot of homeowners decide to install gutter guards just for this reason.
Gutter Cleaning Less Often – Gutter guards have to be removed to clean the gutters, but when they are present, this project doesn’t have to be done as often. Leaf guards reduce the frequency in which you have to clean gutters – or have someone to do it for you – so that you may only have to have them cleaned only once each year.
Protection From Fires – A typical way fires spread to homes is if embers fall into gutters where there is dry debris. This debris fuels the fire until it becomes too large 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 ice, you’ll be happy to know that gutter guards can help stop snow and ice from staying up on your roof. Their unique designs redirect melting ice and snow to get it off your roof much faster.
These are all issues that impact hundreds of thousands of homes every year. Gutter guards protect an important system that protects the rest of the house. If you’ve never considered installing them before, it may be time to think about it.

Professional Gutter Guard Installation
You can see, there are a lot of benefits of gutter guards. While it may be tempting to go out and install the type you think will be the best – how different could they really be, right? – you will still have to install them properly. In the end, 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 local gutter guard service and installer is going to be able to recommend the best type of gutter for your home in the first place. They know all of the choices, and they will consider each factor in detail when deciding their recommendation.
Here are some of the factors a gutter guard installer will think about when determining the best gutter guards for your home:
Material – Gutter guards are 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 as long as your gutters will. The material is a key role in how long gutter guards will last.
Installation method – The type of gutter guards we would suggest for a homeowner to install on their own is the drop in kind that do not require any fastening to the gutters. Installing other types, including snap-in and screw-on gutter guards, might damage your rain gutters if they are not installed correctly.
Appearance – Some gutter guards offer a low profile so they cannot be seen from ground level, while some styles are visible. If that is an important requirement, you will be limited on the style 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 may be necessary to buy new gutters too.
Warranty – Some gutter guard styles will come with a shorter manufacturer’s warranty, but most of the aluminum types are guaranteed to last for 10-20 years. By hiring a licensed gutter guard installer in Kannapolis (rather than doing it yourself), you won’t void the warranty. Gutter guards should never lift your shingles, nor should their installation void your roof’s warranty.
