What are Gutter Guards?
Gutters are basic and inexpensive considering how important they are: protecting more valuable areas of your house. Gutters help keep rain off the wood or siding, windows, patio, deck and basement, directing it discreetly away from your foundation.
Therefore, anything that protects your gutters and helps them work more efficiently is a smart investment too.
Gutter guards are an inexpensive product you can install on almost any type of gutters, and they function as a protective barrier for gutters so large debris and animals won’t get inside of them. Buying gutter guards can be a money-saving decision that you’ll happy with for many years.
There are many types of gutter guard. The style you install depends on your available budget and the type of gutters you have on your home. 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. But in the long run, you will 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 keep debris out of your gutters. Otherwise big pieces of debris settle in the gutter first, then smaller pieces of debris collect around them. Of all the many gutter guard styles, all of them block larger pieces of debris from getting stuck to begin with.
Reduce Mold & Mildew Growth – Gutter guards allow water to stream through the gutters quickly since it is unhindered by any debris or leaves. Water is one of the major reasons for mold and mildew to grow, so moving the water faster through the gutters limits the time rain is 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 struggle. Every model of gutter guard stops animals from building nests within the gutter. A lot of homeowners choose to install gutter guards just for this reason.
Gutter Cleaning Less Often – Gutter guards must be removed to clean the gutters, but when they are installed, this project won’t have to be done nearly as frequently. Leaf guards reduce the frequency that you need to clean out the gutters – or or hire a company to do it 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 if embers fall into gutters where there is dry debris. This debris gives the fire fuel until it grows and damages the roof, followed by the entire house. A standard 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 temps, snow and sleet, you’ll be interested 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 problems that impact hundreds of thousands of homes every year. Gutter guards protect a vital system that protects the rest of the home. If you’ve never thought about installing them before, it could 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 go out and install the model you think will be the best – how much different could they really be, right? – you still have to install them properly. In the end, you’re much better off letting a professional gutter guard installation company do the project for you.
Not only will professional installation be much more reliable than your DIY work, but a local gutter guard service and installer should be able to suggest the best type of gutter system for your home in the first place. They know all of the styles, and they will consider each factor carefully when deciding their recommendation.
Here are some of the things a gutter guard company will consider when choosing the best gutter guards for your home:
Material – Gutter guards are manufactured with aluminum, plastic, foam or a handful of different materials. Some gutter guards are made for temporary use and others are designed to last as long as your gutters. The material plays a key role in how long gutter guards will last.
Installation method – The only style of gutter guards we would recommend for a homeowner to install themselves is the drop in kind that do not require any fastening to the gutters. Installing the other types, including snap-in and screw-on gutter guards, can destroy your gutters if they are not installed the right way.
Appearance – Many gutter guards offer a low profile so they cannot be seen from ground level, while some styles are visible. If this is an important requirement, 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 important for you to have “invisible” gutter guards, it might be necessary for you to buy new gutters too.
Warranty – A lot of gutter guard styles will come with a short manufacturer’s warranty, however most of the aluminum models are guaranteed to last for at least 10-20 years. By having a licensed gutter guard installation company in Greensboro (rather than doing it yourself), you won’t void the warranty. Gutter guards should never lift your shingles, nor should their installation void your roof’s warranty.
Another great thing by having Greensboro Gutter Specialists install your gutter guards is that we’ll come back and fix them free of charge if there is an issue due to the installation.
Your budget is, of course, the last factor in determining which gutter guards you will have installed. We provide a wide range of options for every budget, and will provide the benefits listed above, to one degree or another.
