NEED GUTTER GUARDS?
What are Gutter Guards?
Gutters are simple and inexpensive considering the purpose they serve: protecting much more valuable parts of your home. Gutters keep rain off the wood or siding, windows, patio, deck and basement, routing it discreetly away from your foundation.
Therefore, anything that can protect your gutters from damage and helps them function even more efficiently is a good investment too.
Gutter guards are an inexpensive feature you can add to any style of gutters, and they serve as a protective shield for gutters so debris and pests won’t get inside of them. Buying gutter guards can be a money-saving measure that you’ll be rewarded for for many years.
There are several types of gutter guard. The style you choose to install depends on your available 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
On average, gutter guards cost around as much per linear foot as the gutters themselves. In the long run, you’re going to save a lot of time and money installing them. Here are some of the reasons we recommend to install gutter guards on your home:
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 pile up around them. Of all the many gutter guard models, all of them stop these larger pieces of debris from getting stuck to start with.
Reduce Mold & Mildew Growth – Gutter guards allow water to flow through the gutters faster since it isn’t blocked by debris or leaves. Rain is one of the main reasons for mold and mildew to grow, so moving the water faster through the gutters limits 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 your gutters and off the roof is often an endless battle. Every type 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 must be removed in order to clean the gutters, but when they are installed, this job won’t have to be done as regularly. Leaf guards can cut down the frequency that you have to clean 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 typical way fires spread to homes is when embers fall into gutters that have dry debris in them. This debris gives the fire fuel until it grows 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 happen to live in an area that gets frequent below-freezing temps, snow and ice, you’ll be happy to know that gutter guards help stop snow and ice from staying up on your roof. Their unique designs purposefully redirect melting snow and ice to get it off your roof faster.
These are all problems that impact hundreds of thousands of homes each year. Gutter guards protect a vital system that protects the rest of your house. If you haven’t thought about installing them before, it might be time to think about it.

Professional Gutter Guard Installation
As you can see, there are many benefits of gutter guards. While it may be tempting to go out and purchase the model you think will be the best – how different could they really be, right? – you will still have to install them correctly. All things considered, 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 DIY work, but a professional gutter guard service and installer is going to be able to suggest the best type of gutter system for your house in the first place. They know all of the choices, and they will consider each factor carefully when deciding their recommendation.
Here are some of the factors a gutter guard service will think about when deciding 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 others are designed to last just as long as your gutters will. The material plays a key role in how long the gutter guards will last.
Installation method – The only type of gutter guards we would encourage for a homeowner to install themselves is the drop in kind that don’t require fastening to the gutters. Installing the other types, including snap-in and screw-on gutter guards, might destroy your gutters if they’re not installed the right way.
Appearance – Some gutter guards boast a low profile so they cannot be seen from ground level, while some styles are very obvious. If that is an important condition, you are limited on the style of gutter guard you can install, and limited even more by the style of gutters you have on your home. If it is very important for you to have “invisible” gutter guards, it may be necessary to purchase new gutters as well.
Warranty – Most gutter guard styles will come with a shorter warranty, however most of the aluminum types are guaranteed for 10-20 years. By hiring a licensed gutter guard installation company in Hempstead (rather than doing it yourself), you won’t void the warranty. Gutter guards should never lift your shingles, nor should the installation void your roof’s warranty.
