What are Gutter Guards?
Gutters are fairly basic and low cost considering the purpose they serve: protecting more valuable areas of your home. Gutters help keep rain water off the siding, windows, porch, deck and basement, routing it away from your foundation.
That means, anything that can protect your gutters from damage and helps them work even more efficiently is a smart investment too.
Gutter guards are an inexpensive feature you can add to any style of gutters, and they function as a protective screen for gutters so debris and pests won’t get inside of them. Purchasing leaf guards can be a money-saving measure that you’ll happy with for year after year.
There are a lot of types of gutter guard. The type you install will depend on your budget and the type of gutters you have. Gutter guards are made of either aluminum, nylon or plastic.

Benefits of Gutter Guards
Typically, gutter guards cost around as much per linear foot as the gutters cost themselves. In the long run, you will save a lot of time and money 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 most debris out of your gutters. Otherwise larger pieces of debris settle in the gutter first, then smaller pieces of debris pile up around them. Of all the many gutter guard styles, all of them prevent these larger pieces of debris from getting stuck to start with.
Reduce Mold & Mildew Growth – Gutter guards help water to stream through the gutters quickly because it is unhindered by debris or leaves. Rain is one of the primary causes of mold and mildew growth, so moving the water faster through the gutters reduces the 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 battle. Every style of gutter guard stops animals from building nests within the gutter. Some 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 installed, this project doesn’t have to be done as regularly. Leaf guards reduce the frequency in which you have to clean out the gutters – or or hire a company to do the job 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 inside of gutters that have dry debris in them. This debris fuels the fire until it becomes too large and damages the roof, followed by the entire house. A simple 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 help stop 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 American homes each year. Gutter guards protect an important system that protects the rest of the 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 may be tempting to run out and install the model you think will work best – how different could they really be, right? – you still have to install them correctly. All things considered, you’re much better off letting a professional gutter guard installation company do the project for you.
Not only will professional installation be more reliable than your DIY work, but a local gutter guard service and installer should be able to suggest the best type of gutter for your house in the first place. They are familiar with all of the options, and they will consider each factor in detail when deciding their recommendation.
Here are some of the things a gutter guard company will take into account when recommending the best gutter guards for your home:
Material – Gutter guards are manufactured with aluminum, plastic, foam or a handful of different materials. Some are designed for temporary usage and some are built to last as long as your gutters. The construction is a key factor in how long the gutter guards will last.
Installation method – The style of gutter guards we would suggest for a homeowner to install themselves is the drop in kind 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, could damage your rain gutters if they are not installed the right way.
Appearance – Some gutter guards boast a low profile so they cannot be seen 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 have, and limited even more by the type of gutters you have. If it is important for you to have “invisible” gutter guards, it may be necessary to buy new gutters too.
Warranty – A lot of gutter guard styles will come with a shorter warranty, but most of the aluminum types are guaranteed to last for at least 10-20 years. By having a licensed gutter guard installer in Warner Robins (instead of doing it yourself), you won’t void your warranty. Gutter guards should never lift your shingles, nor should the installation void your roof’s warranty.

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