Gutter Guards Installation

Advantages to a Gutter Guard System

Save Time and Money

• A gutter guard system is a great way to keep water flowing in gutters.
• A leaf filter protection removes the hassle of cleaning gutters to removed dirt and debris.
• Leaf gutter guard cost less money over time since homeowners won’t need to hire gutter cleaning service.

Prevent Damage

• When gutters get clogged water can’t run properly. This can cause damage to a home and property.
• Excess water can back up into the roof, foundation, walls, and basement causing costly repairs.
• Leaf gutter protection provides consistent water flows.

Safety

• Gutter cleaning requires climbing a ladder which can be dangerous.
• According to the World Health Organization, there are more than 164,000 emergency room visits and 300 death that are caused by ladder falls every year in the United States.

Avoid Pest Infestations

• Stagnant water in gutters attracts birds, spiders, mosquitoes, mice, bats, and other unwanted guests.
• A leaf guard for gutters can also prevent pest from getting on the roof.

Prevent Fires and Ice Dams

• Gutter guards provide an extra layer of protection if you live in an area prone to bushfires.
• When a brushfire occurs, embers are often carried long distances and can settle in gutters. If gutters are filled with dry twigs and leaves, they can quickly ignite and cause a house fire.
• If you live in a cold area, trapped water can freeze and build an ice dam. As ice accumulates it can loosen shingles, pull away the gutters, and cause water to backup into a home.

How Leaf Gutter Protection Compares

Open Face Gutters

• Without leaf guard for gutters systems get clogged with debris.
• Open systems attract rodents and insects looking to nest and breed.
• Require ongoing clearing to prevent clogging and water back up.

One-Piece Reverse Curve System

• This gutter system can’t attach to a home’s current gutter system.
• One-piece reverse gutter guard cost more because a completely new gutter system is required.
• Some debris follows the curve and enters the gutter, so this system still requires gutter cleaning service.
• Bees, wasps, and other insects love to make their way through the gap in one-piece reverse curve systems and nest.

Hood Gutter System

• Hood system has large openings that allow debris in and gutters to clog.
• Since hood systems are installed under the first row of shingles, they are known to cause damage to roofs and shingles.
• Installation may require guard to be screwed to your shingles voiding any roof warranty.

DIY Vinyl and Aluminum Leaf Filter

• These systems are less expensive and poor in quality.
• DIY systems are flat and therefore require semi-annual cleaning to clear them of smaller debris such as pine needles, twigs, and helicopters.
• Guards need to be replaced more frequently than other leaf gutter protection systems.

Foam guards

• These guards provide inconsistent protection for gutters.
• Foam disintegrates quickly and will need to be replaced.
• Debris gathers on the surface which can slow the disbursement of water.

Brush guards

• These guards tend to get clogged quickly with leaves and pine needles that get embedded in the bristles.
• Brushes are visible from the ground causing an unpleasing aesthetic look to the home.
• Require gutter cleaning to clear of stuck debris.
