What are Gutter Guards?
Rain gutters are fairly basic and low cost considering how important they are: protecting much more valuable parts of your house. Gutters keep rain off the siding, windows, porch, deck and basement, directing it away from your house.
That means, anything that can protect your gutters and helps them work even more efficiently is a great investment too.
Gutter guards are an affordable product you can install on any type of gutters, and they serve as a protective shield for gutters so debris and animals can’t get inside of them. Installing gutter guards can be a money-saving choice that you’ll thank yourself for year after year.
There are many styles of gutter guard. The style you install depends on your budget and the type of rain gutters you have. Gutter guards are made of aluminum, nylon or plastic.

Benefits of Gutter Guards
Typically, gutter guards will cost around as much per linear foot as the gutters themselves. In the long run, you will save a lot of time and money by installing them. Here are a few of the reasons we think you should install gutter guards on your house:
Improve Drainage by Preventing Clogs – Gutter guards help keep leaves and debris out of your gutters. Otherwise large pieces settle in the gutter first, then smaller pieces pile up around them. Of all the many gutter guard styles, all of them block these 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 is unhindered by any debris or leaves. Water is one of the main causes of mold and mildew growth, therefore moving the water faster through the gutters limits the 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 can be a constant battle. Every type of gutter guard prevents animals from crafting nests inside of the gutter. A lot of homeowners decide to install gutter guards for no other reason than this.
Gutter Cleaning Less Often – Gutter guards must be removed in order to clean the gutters, but if they are installed, this job doesn’t have to be done as often. Leaf guards can cut down the frequency that you need to clean out the gutters – or have someone to do it for you – so that you may only need to have them cleaned out once each year.
Protection From Fires – A typical way fires spread to homes is if embers fall inside of gutters where there is dry debris. This debris gives the fire fuel until it grows and damages the roof, and then the entire house. A basic 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 temperatures, snow and ice, you’ll be happy to know that gutter guards can help prevent 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 American homes each year. Gutter guards protect a vital system that protects the rest of the house. If you haven’t considered installing them before, it might 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 run out and install the type you think will work best – how different could they really be, right? – you will still have to install them properly. Ultimately, you’re much better off letting a professional gutter guard installation service 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 system 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 service will take into account 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 gutter guards are made for temporary use and some are designed to last just as long as your gutters will. The material is a key role 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 type that don’t require fastening to the gutters. However, these are not as dependable. Installing the other types, including snap-in and screw-on gutter guards, might damage your gutters if they are not installed the right way.
Appearance – A lot of gutter guards offer a low profile so they cannot be seen from ground level, while some styles are very obvious. If this is an important condition, you are limited on the style of gutter guard you can install, and limited even more by the type of gutters you have on your roof. If it is very important for you to have low profile gutter guards, it might be necessary for you to purchase new gutters.
Warranty – Some gutter guard styles will come with a shorter warranty, but most of the aluminum types are guaranteed for 10-20 years. By having a licensed gutter guard installation company in Broomfield (rather than doing it on your own), you won’t void your warranty. Gutter guards should not lift your shingles, nor should their installation void your roof’s warranty.
