What are Gutter Guards?
Gutters are fairly basic and low cost considering how important they are: protecting much more valuable areas of your home. Gutters help keep rain water off the siding, windows, porch, deck and basement, directing it away from your home.
That means, anything that protects your gutters and helps them function even more efficiently is a smart investment too.
Gutter guards are an inexpensive product you can install on any type of gutters, and they work as a protective shield for your gutters so large debris and pests aren’t able to get inside of them. Installing gutter guards can be a money-saving decision that you’ll happy with for year after year.
There are many types of gutter guard. The style you install will depend on your available budget and the type of gutters you have. Gutter guards are made of aluminum, nylon or plastic.

Benefits of Gutter Guards
On average, gutter guards cost around as much per linear foot as the gutters cost themselves. In the long run, you’re going to save a lot of time and money installing them. Here are a few of the reasons we think you should install gutter guards on your home:
Improve Drainage by Preventing Clogs – Gutter guards keep leaves and debris out of your gutters. Otherwise big pieces settle in the gutter first, then smaller pieces collect around them. Of all the many gutter guard models, all of them stop larger pieces of debris from getting stuck to begin with.
Reduce Mold & Mildew Growth – Gutter guards allow water to stream through the gutters faster because it isn’t blocked by large debris. Water is one of the major reasons for mold and mildew to grow, so moving the water faster through the gutters limits the amount of time rain remains sitting still, possibly leading to mold and mildew.
Prevent Pests from Nesting – Keeping squirrels, chipmunks, birds and insects out of rain gutters and off the roof is often a constant struggle. Every type of gutter guard stops animals from crafting nests inside of the gutter. Some homeowners choose to install gutter guards for no other reason than this.
Gutter Cleaning Less Often – Gutter guards have to be removed in order to clean the gutters, but if they are present, this project doesn’t have to be done as regularly. Leaf guards cut down the frequency in which you have to clean gutters – or hire a professional to do it for you – so that you may only need to have them cleaned out once a year.
Protection From Fires – A typical way fires spread to homes is when embers fall inside of gutters where there is dry debris. This debris gives the fire fuel until it becomes too large and damages the roof, and then the rest of the home. 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 snow and ice to get it off your roof faster.
These are all problems that impact hundreds of thousands of American homes every 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 many benefits of gutter guards. While it may be tempting to go out and purchase the model you think will be the best – how much different could they 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 job for you.
Not only will their installation be more reliable than DIY work, but a gutter guard service and installer is going to be able to suggest the best type of gutter for your home in the first place. They know all of the choices, and they will consider each factor carefully when deciding their recommendation.
Here are a few of the things a gutter guard installer will consider when determining the perfect 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 built to last just as long as your gutters. The material plays a key factor 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 type that do not require fastening to the gutters. However, these are not as dependable. Installing other types, including snap-in and screw-on gutter guards, can damage your rain gutters if they’re not installed correctly.
Appearance – Many gutter guards offer a low profile so they aren’t visible from ground level, while some styles are very obvious. If that is an important requirement, you will be limited on the type 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 “invisible” gutter guards, it might be necessary to buy new gutters.
Warranty – Many gutter guard styles will come with a shorter warranty, however most of the aluminum models are guaranteed to last for at least 10-20 years. By having a licensed gutter guard installer in Aurora (instead of doing it on your own), you won’t void your warranty. Gutter guards should never lift your shingles, nor should their installation void your roof’s warranty.

Your budget is, of course, the final factor in choosing 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.
