Types of Gutter Guards Available
We offer several types of gutter guards to suit different needs and budgets. Each type works in its own way to keep debris out of your gutters and prevent clogs.
Mesh Gutter Guards
Mesh gutter guards use a fine metal screen to block leaves and small debris. The tiny holes let water flow through while keeping out larger particles.
These guards are best if you want strong protection against all kinds of debris. They are usually made of aluminum or stainless steel, so they resist rust and last longer.
Mesh guards work well in areas with lots of small leaves or pine needles. We often recommend them for homes near trees because they reduce gutter cleaning needs.
Screen Gutter Guards
Screen gutter guards have a wider grid compared to mesh guards. They allow water to enter your gutters but block bigger debris like leaves and twigs.
These are easier to install and typically cost less than mesh guards. However, they may let small particles like pine needles or seeds through.
Screen guards are a good choice if you want basic protection and less expensive options. They are most effective if your home is in an area with large leaves falling.
Reverse Curve Gutter Guards
Reverse curve guards direct water to flow over a curved edge and into the gutter. Debris slides off the edge instead of falling inside.
This design works well during heavy rain by quickly channeling water into gutters. However, they may clog with wet leaves if not maintained.
We suggest reverse curve guards where there is heavy rainfall and minimal fine debris. Installation can be more complex and may require professional help.
Brush Gutter Guards
Brush gutter guards look like large pipe cleaners placed inside the gutters. They trap leaves on top while allowing water to flow beneath.
These guards are easy to install and remove for cleaning. But they can collect dirt and may need frequent maintenance.
Brush guards are useful if you want a temporary solution or quick DIY installation. They work best when large debris is the main problem and fine debris is limited.
Benefits of Roof Gutter Guard Installation
Protection Against Water Damage
Gutter guards stop leaves, twigs, and dirt from clogging gutters. This ensures rainwater flows freely through the gutters and downspouts. When gutters are clear, water drains properly away from the home’s foundation.
Without guards, water can overflow, causing damage to walls, siding, and the foundation. It can also lead to basement flooding or soil erosion around the house. Gutter guards reduce these risks by keeping the gutters clean and effective.
They also prevent water from pooling on the roof edge. This lowers the chance of leaks or damage to fascia boards. Our gutter guard system is designed to keep water moving where it should.
Reduced Maintenance Needs
Gutter guards cut down on how often we need to clean the gutters. Without them, gutters fill with debris and blockages that require regular removal. This can be time-consuming and sometimes dangerous.
With our installation, most debris is kept out, so cleaners only need to check gutters a couple of times a year instead of monthly. This saves homeowners both time and money on gutter upkeep.
Less cleaning also means less wear and tear on gutters from tools or harsh weather during maintenance. It makes the gutter system last longer and stay in better shape over time.
Enhanced Roof Longevity
By managing water better, gutter guards reduce the chance of roof damage. When gutters get clogged, water backs up under shingles, causing rot or mold. Gutter guards help avoid this by keeping water flowing freely.
This means the roof’s materials stay drier and stronger for longer. It helps prevent costly repairs related to water damage or decay. Proper water drainage also protects the roof’s supporting structure.
Our gutter guard products complement your roof by ensuring water doesn’t linger or cause issues. This increases the roof's useful life, saving homeowners from expensive replacements sooner than necessary.
Signs You Need Gutter Guard Installation
We notice gutters clog often with leaves, twigs, or debris. If water spills over the sides during rain, it means your gutters can’t handle the flow properly. This overflow can damage your home's foundation or walls.
If you find yourself cleaning gutters multiple times a year, gutter guards can reduce this chore. Frequent clogs or slow drainage means the current system is not working well.
Pests like birds, insects, or rodents may build nests in open gutters. Gutter guards help keep animals out by blocking their access.
Ice dams in winter also show that gutters are blocked or frozen. Guards can help prevent this by letting water move freely.
We also recommend gutter guards when gutters appear bent, sagging, or loose. These signs tell us the system is strained and may fail without support.
