NEED GUTTER GUARDS?
What are Gutter Guards?
Rain gutters are simple and affordable considering how important they are: protecting more valuable areas of your house. Gutters help keep rain water off the wood or siding, windows, patio, deck and basement, directing it discreetly away from your home.
Therefore, anything that protects your gutters and helps them function more efficiently is a good investment as well.
Gutter guards are an inexpensive feature you can add to any style of gutters, and they serve as a protective screen for your gutters so large debris and animals can’t get inside of them. Buying leaf guards can be a money-saving choice that you’ll be rewarded for for year after year.
There are several styles of gutter guard. The style you choose to 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
On average, gutter guards cost around as much per linear foot as the gutters themselves. In the long run, you’re going to save a lot of time and money installing them. Here are some of the reasons we think you should install gutter guards on your home:
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 small pieces of debris collect around them. Of all the many gutter guard styles, all of them stop these larger leaves and pieces of debris from getting stuck to start with.
Reduce Mold & Mildew Growth – Gutter guards allow water to stream through the gutters faster since it isn’t blocked by large debris. Rain is one of the major causes of mold and mildew growth, therefore moving the water faster through the gutters limits the amount of time rain remains sitting still, 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 model of gutter guard stops pests from crafting nests within the gutter. A lot of homeowners choose to install gutter guards for no other reason than this.
Gutter Cleaning Less Often – Gutter guards must be removed to clean the gutters, but if they are present, this job won’t have to be done as regularly. Leaf guards can cut down the frequency in which you have to clean gutters – or hire a professional to do the work 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 that have dry debris in them. This debris gives the fire fuel until it grows and damages the roof, and then the entire home. A standard gutter guard installation can protect your home from this fire risk.
Prevent Ice Dams – If you live in an area that gets frequent below-freezing temperatures, snow and ice, you’ll be interested to know that gutter guards help prevent snow and ice from staying up on your roof. Their designs purposefully redirect melting snow and ice to get it off your roof much faster.
These are all problems that affect hundreds of thousands of homes every year. Gutter guards protect a vital system that protects the rest of your home. If you haven’t thought about installing them before, it could be time to think about it.

Professional Gutter Guard Installation
As you can see, there are many benefits of gutter guards. While it might be tempting to go out and purchase the type you think will work best – how much different could they really be, right? – you will still have to install them properly. In the end, you’re much better off having a professional gutter guard installation service do the project for you.
Not only will professional installation be more reliable than DIY work, but a local 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 when deciding their recommendation.
Here are some of the factors a gutter guard installer will take into account when deciding the perfect gutter guards for your home:
Material – Gutter guards can be manufactured with aluminum, plastic, foam or a handful of different materials. Some are designed for temporary usage and others are built to last as long as your gutters. The material is a key role in how long gutter guards will last.
Installation method – The only style of gutter guards we would suggest for a homeowner to install themselves is the drop in type that do not require fastening to the gutters. Installing the other types, including snap-in and screw-on gutter guards, might destroy your rain gutters if they’re not installed correctly.
Appearance – A lot of gutter guards boast a low profile so they cannot be seen from ground level, while some styles are visible. If that is an important requirement, you will be limited on the type of gutter guard you can have, and limited even more by the style of gutters you have. If it is important for you to have “invisible” gutter guards, it may be necessary for you to purchase new gutters too.
Warranty – A lot of gutter guard styles will come with a short warranty, but most of the aluminum types are guaranteed to last for 10-20 years. By having a licensed gutter guard installation company in Burnsville (rather than doing it on your own), you won’t void your warranty. Gutter guards should not lift your shingles, nor should the installation void your roof’s warranty.
