What are Gutter Guards?
Gutters are simple and inexpensive considering the purpose they serve: protecting much more valuable areas of your home. Gutters keep rain off the wood or siding, windows, porch, deck and basement, directing it discreetly away from your foundation.
Therefore, anything that protects your gutters and helps them function even more efficiently is a great investment too.
Gutter guards are an inexpensive feature you can install on any style of gutters, and they serve as a protective shield for gutters so debris and pests can’t get inside of them. Purchasing gutter guards can be a money-saving choice that you’ll happy with for many years.
There are many types of gutter guard. The style you choose to install depends on your 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 will cost about 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 think you should install gutter guards on your house:
Improve Drainage by Preventing Clogs – Gutter guards keep debris out of your gutters. Otherwise big pieces settle in the gutter first, then smaller pieces of debris pile up 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 help water to flow through the gutters quickly since it is unhindered by debris. Rain is one of the major reasons for mold and mildew growth, therefore moving the water faster through the gutters limits the 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 can be a constant struggle. Every style of gutter guard stops pests from crafting nests inside of the gutter. Some homeowners choose to install gutter guards just for this reason.
Gutter Cleaning Less Often – Gutter guards have to be removed to clean the gutters, but when they are installed, this job doesn’t have to be done as regularly. Leaf guards can cut down the frequency in which you need to clean gutters – or hire a professional to do the job for you – so that you may only need to have them cleaned out once a year.
Protection From Fires – A common way fires spread to homes is when embers fall into gutters that have dry debris in them. This debris fuels the fire until it grows and damages the roof, and then the rest of the 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 frequent below-freezing temps, 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 purposefully redirect melting ice and snow to get it off your roof faster.
These are all issues that affect hundreds of thousands of American homes every year. Gutter guards protect a vital system that protects the rest of the home. If you haven’t thought about installing them before, it might be time to think about it.

Professional Gutter Guard Installation
As you can see, there are a lot of benefits of gutter guards. While it might be tempting to go out and purchase the type you think will be the best – how different could they be, right? – you still have to install them correctly. All things considered, you’re much better off letting a professional gutter guard installer do the project for you.
Not only will professional installation be more reliable than DIY work, but a professional 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 a few of the factors a gutter guard company will consider when determining the best gutter guards for your home:
Material – Gutter guards are manufactured with aluminum, plastic, foam or a handful of other materials. Some gutter guards are designed for temporary usage while some are built to last just as long as your gutters will. The material is 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 type that don’t require fastening to the gutters. Installing the other types, including snap-in and screw-on gutter guards, can destroy your rain gutters if they are not installed the right way.
Appearance – Some gutter guards offer a low profile so they aren’t visible from ground level, while some styles are visible. If that is an important requirement, you are limited on the style of gutter guard you can have, and limited even more by the type of gutters you have. If it is very important for you to have low profile gutter guards installed, it may be necessary to buy new gutters as well.
Warranty – Most gutter guard styles will come with a shorter manufacturer’s warranty, however most of the aluminum types are guaranteed for 10-20 years. By hiring a licensed gutter guard installation company in Greece (instead of doing it yourself), you won’t void the warranty. Gutter guards should never lift your shingles, nor should the installation void your roof’s warranty.
