What are Gutter Guards?
Rain gutters are fairly basic and low cost considering the purpose they serve: protecting much more valuable areas of your home. Gutters help keep rain water off the wood or siding, windows, porch, deck and basement, directing it discreetly away from your home.
That means, anything that protects your gutters from damage and helps them work even more efficiently is a great investment as well.
Gutter guards are a low cost product you can install on almost any type of gutters, and they work as a protective screen for your gutters so debris and animals can’t get inside of them. Installing gutter guards 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 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
On average, gutter guards will cost about as much per linear foot as the gutters themselves. In the long run, you’re going to save time and money by installing them. Here are some of the reasons we encourage you to install gutter guards on your roof:
Improve Drainage by Preventing Clogs – Gutter guards help keep leaves and most debris out of your gutters. Otherwise large pieces settle in the gutter first, then smaller pieces of debris pile up around them. Of all the many gutter guard styles, all of them block larger leaves and pieces of debris from getting 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. 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, possibly leading to mold and mildew.
Prevent Pests from Nesting – Keeping squirrels, chipmunks, birds and insects out of your gutters and off the roof can be a constant struggle. Every style of gutter guard stops pests 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 need to be removed to clean the gutters, but if they are installed, this job doesn’t have to be done nearly as frequently. Leaf guards cut down the frequency that you need to clean gutters – or or hire a company to do the work for you – so that you might only need to have them cleaned only once a year.
Protection From Fires – A typical way fires spread to homes is when embers fall into gutters where there is dry debris. This debris fuels the fire until it grows and damages the roof, and then the entire house. A basic gutter guard installation can protect your home from the risk of fire.
Prevent Ice Dams – If you live in an area that gets frequent below-freezing temps, snow and sleet, you’ll be interested to know that gutter guards can help stop snow and ice from staying up on your roof. Their unique designs redirect melting snow and ice to get it off your roof much faster.
These are all issues that impact hundreds of thousands of homes each year. Gutter guards protect an important 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 several benefits of gutter guards. While it might be tempting to run out and install the model you think will work best – how much different could they really be, right? – you will still have to install them properly. All things considered, you’re much better off having a professional gutter guard installation service do the project for you.
Not only will professional installation be a lot more reliable than DIY work, but a gutter guard service and installer will be able to suggest the best type of gutter for your home in the first place. They know all of the styles, and they will consider each factor when making their recommendation.
Here are some of the things a gutter guard company will consider when determining the best gutter guards for your home:
Material – Gutter guards are made of aluminum, plastic, foam or a handful of different materials. Some gutter guards are made for temporary use and others are built to last just as long as your gutters. The construction plays a key role in how long gutter guards will last.
Installation method – The type of gutter guards we would recommend 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 destroy your rain gutters if they’re not installed correctly.
Appearance – Some gutter guards offer a low profile so they aren’t visible from ground level, while some styles are very obvious. If this is an important condition, you will be limited on the style of gutter guard you can install, and limited even more by the type of gutters you have. If it is very important for you to have “invisible” gutter guards installed, it might be necessary to buy new gutters too.
Warranty – Many gutter guard styles will come with a short warranty, but most of the aluminum types are guaranteed for at least 10-20 years. By hiring a licensed gutter guard installer in Waldorf (instead of 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.
