What are Gutter Guards?
Rain gutters are simple and inexpensive considering the purpose they serve: protecting much more valuable areas of your home. Gutters keep rain water off the wood or siding, windows, porch, deck and basement, directing it discreetly away from your house.
That means, anything that protects your gutters from damage and helps them work more efficiently is a great investment as well.
Gutter guards are a low cost feature you can install on almost any style of gutters, and they function as a protective screen for gutters so large debris and pests won’t get inside of them. Buying gutter screens 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 available budget and the type of rain 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. In the long run, you will save time and money installing them. Here are a few of the reasons we recommend to install gutter guards on your home:
Improve Drainage by Preventing Clogs – Gutter guards help keep leaves and most debris out of your gutters. Otherwise big pieces settle in the gutter first, then smaller pieces pile up around them. Of all the many gutter guard styles, all of them block larger pieces of debris from becoming stuck to begin with.
Reduce Mold & Mildew Growth – Gutter guards help water to stream through the gutters quickly because it is unhindered by any large debris. Water is one of the main causes of mold and mildew growth, so 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 an endless battle. Every style of gutter guard stops animals from crafting nests within the gutter. A lot of homeowners choose to install gutter guards just for this reason.
Gutter Cleaning Less Often – Gutter guards need to be removed in order to clean the gutters, but when they are present, this job doesn’t have to be done as regularly. Leaf guards reduce the frequency in which you have to clean out the gutters – or have someone to do the work for you – so that you may only need to have them cleaned only once a year.
Protection From Fires – A common 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 home. 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 interested to know that gutter guards can help stop 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 issues that impact hundreds of thousands of American homes every year. Gutter guards protect a vital system that protects the rest of the home. If you haven’t thought about installing them before, it might be time to think about it.

Professional Gutter Guard Installation
You can see, there are several benefits of gutter guards. While it may be tempting to run out and purchase the model you think will work best – how much 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 installer do the job for you.
Not only will professional installation be much 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 for your home in the first place. They know all of the options, and they will consider each factor carefully when deciding their recommendation.
Here are a few of the things a gutter guard service will think about when determining the best gutter guards for your home:
Material – Gutter guards can be made of aluminum, plastic, foam or a handful of other materials. Some are made for temporary usage and some are designed to last as long as your gutters. The construction is a key role in how long the 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 don’t require any fastening to the gutters. However, these are not as dependable. Installing other types, including snap-in and screw-on gutter guards, can damage your gutters if they’re not installed correctly.
Appearance – Many gutter guards boast a low profile so they aren’t visible from ground level, while some styles are very obvious. If that is an important requirement, you are limited on the type of gutter guard you can install, and limited even more by the style of gutters you have. If it is very important for you to have “invisible” gutter guards, it may be necessary for you to install new gutters too.
Warranty – Most gutter guard styles will come with a shorter warranty, however most of the aluminum types are guaranteed to last for at least 10-20 years. By hiring a licensed gutter guard installation company in Commerce City (rather than doing it yourself), you won’t void your warranty. Gutter guards should never lift your shingles, nor should their installation void your roof’s warranty.
