What are Gutter Guards?
Rain gutters are fairly simple and affordable considering how important they are: protecting much more valuable areas of your home. Gutters help keep rain water off the wood or siding, windows, porch, deck and basement, routing it discreetly away from your foundation.
That means, anything that can protect your gutters from damage and helps them work more efficiently is a great investment as well.
Gutter guards are an affordable product you can install on any style of gutters, and they function as a protective shield for gutters so large debris and pests won’t get inside of them. Installing leaf guards can be a money-saving choice that you’ll thank yourself for many years.
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 aluminum, nylon or plastic.

Benefits of Gutter Guards
Typically, gutter guards cost about as much per linear foot as the gutters themselves. But in the long run, you will save a lot of 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 debris out of your gutters. Otherwise large pieces settle in the gutter first, then small pieces of debris pile up around them. Of all the many gutter guard styles, all of them stop larger pieces of debris from becoming stuck to begin with.
Reduce Mold & Mildew Growth – Gutter guards help water to stream through the gutters quickly since it is unhindered by any debris. Rain is one of the main causes of mold and mildew to grow, therefore moving the water faster through the gutters reduces the amount of time rain remains sitting still, 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 struggle. Every model of gutter guard prevents animals from crafting nests inside of the gutter. A lot of homeowners choose to install gutter guards for no other reason than this.
Gutter Cleaning Less Often – Gutter guards have to be removed to clean the gutters, but when they are installed, this job won’t have to be done as often. Leaf guards can reduce the frequency that you have to clean gutters – or or hire a company to do the work 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 inside of gutters where there is dry debris. This debris gives the fire fuel until it becomes too large and damages the roof, and then the rest of the home. A simple gutter guard installation can protect your home from this fire risk.
Prevent Ice Dams – If you live in an area that gets frequent below-freezing temps, snow and sleet, you’ll be happy to know that gutter guards help prevent snow and ice from staying up on your roof. Their designs redirect melting snow and ice 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 a vital system that protects the rest of the house. If you’ve never considered installing them before, it might be time to think about it.

Professional Gutter Guard Installation
As you can see, there are a lot of benefits of gutter guards. While it may be tempting to run out and buy the model you think will be the best – how much different could they be, right? – you will still have to install them properly. Ultimately, you’re much better off having a professional gutter guard installer do the project for you.
Not only will professional installation be more reliable than DIY work, but a gutter guard service and installer will be able to suggest the best type of gutter for your house in the first place. They know all of the styles, and they will consider each factor in detail when deciding their recommendation.
Here are some of the factors a gutter guard company will consider when choosing the best gutter guards for your home:
Material – Gutter guards are made of aluminum, plastic, foam or a handful of other materials. Some are made for temporary use and some are built to last as long as your gutters will. The material plays a key factor in how long the 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. However, these are not as dependable. Installing the other types, including snap-in and screw-on gutter guards, could destroy your gutters if they’re not installed correctly.
Appearance – Many gutter guards offer a low profile so they cannot be seen from ground level, while others are very obvious. If that is an important requirement, you will be limited on the style of gutter guard you can have, and limited even more by the type of gutters you have. If it is important for you to have low profile gutter guards installed, it might be necessary for you to buy new gutters.
Warranty – Some gutter guard styles will come with a shorter manufacturer’s warranty, however most of the aluminum types are guaranteed to last for 10-20 years. By having a licensed gutter guard installer in Rock Hill (instead of doing it yourself), you won’t void the warranty. Gutter guards should not lift your shingles, nor should their installation void your roof’s warranty.
