What are Gutter Guards?
Rain gutters are basic and affordable considering how important they are: protecting much more valuable parts of your home. Gutters keep rain water off the wood or siding, windows, patio, deck and basement, directing it discreetly 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.
Gutter guards are an inexpensive product you can add to any type of gutters, and they work as a protective screen for your gutters so large debris and pests aren’t able to get inside of them. Installing gutter guards can be a money-saving choice that you’ll be rewarded for for year after year.
There are several types of gutter guard. The type you choose to install will depend 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 cost themselves. In the long run, you will 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 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 prevent larger leaves and pieces of debris from becoming stuck to start with.
Reduce Mold & Mildew Growth – Gutter guards help water to flow through the gutters quickly because it isn’t blocked by debris or leaves. Rain is one of the primary causes of 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 gutters and off the roof is often a constant battle. Every model of gutter guard stops pests from crafting nests within the gutter. A lot of homeowners choose to install gutter guards for this reason alone.
Gutter Cleaning Less Often – Gutter guards must be removed in order to clean the gutters, but when they are installed, this job doesn’t have to be done as often. Leaf guards can cut down the frequency in which you need to clean out the gutters – or hire a professional to do the work for you – so that you may only have to have them cleaned only once each year.
Protection From Fires – A common way fires spread to homes is when embers fall into gutters that have dry debris in them. This debris fuels the fire until it grows and damages the roof, followed by 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 temperatures, snow and sleet, you’ll be interested to know that gutter guards help stop 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 problems that impact hundreds of thousands of American homes every year. Gutter guards protect a vital system that protects the rest of your home. If you haven’t considered installing them before, it could 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 might be tempting to go out and install the type you think will work best – how different could they really be, right? – you still have to install them properly. Ultimately, you’re much better off letting a professional gutter guard installation company do the project for you.
Not only will professional installation be a lot more reliable than your DIY work, but a gutter guard service and installer is going to be able to recommend the best type of gutter system for your house in the first place. They know all of the options, and they will consider each factor carefully when making their recommendation.
Here are a few of the things a gutter guard installer will consider when choosing the perfect gutter guards for your home:
Material – Gutter guards are made of aluminum, plastic, foam or a handful of different materials. Some are designed for temporary usage while others are built to last just as long as your gutters. The material plays a key factor in how long the gutter guards will last.
Installation method – The style of gutter guards we would suggest for a homeowner to install themselves is the drop in kind 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 are not installed the right way.
Appearance – A lot of gutter guards boast a low profile so they aren’t visible from ground level, while others are very obvious. If that is an important condition, you are limited on the type 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 for you to purchase new gutters too.
Warranty – Many 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 having a licensed gutter guard installer in Conway (instead of doing it yourself), you won’t void your warranty. Gutter guards should not lift your shingles, nor should the installation void your roof’s warranty.

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