NEED GUTTER GUARDS?
What are Gutter Guards?
Gutters are basic and inexpensive considering how important they are: protecting much more valuable areas of your home. Gutters help keep rain off the wood or siding, windows, patio, deck and basement, routing it away from your house.
Therefore, anything that can protect your gutters and helps them work more efficiently is a good investment.
Gutter guards are an inexpensive feature you can add to any type of gutters, and they serve as a protective shield for gutters so debris and pests won’t get inside of them. Installing gutter guards can be a money-saving choice that you’ll thank yourself for many years.
There are many styles of gutter guard. The type you choose to install will depend on your available budget and the type of rain gutters you have. Gutter guards are made of either aluminum, nylon or plastic.

Benefits of Gutter Guards
Typically, gutter guards cost about as much per linear foot as the gutters cost themselves. In the long run, you’re going to save time and money installing them. Here are some of the reasons we recommend to install gutter guards on your home:
Improve Drainage by Preventing Clogs – Gutter guards keep leaves and debris out of your gutters. Otherwise larger pieces of debris settle in the gutter first, then small pieces of debris pile up around them. Of all the many gutter guard models, all of them block larger leaves and pieces of debris from getting stuck to begin with.
Reduce Mold & Mildew Growth – Gutter guards help water to flow through the gutters quickly because it isn’t blocked by large debris. Rain is one of the primary reasons for mold and mildew growth, therefore moving the water faster through the gutters reduces the time rain spends 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 type of gutter guard stops pests from building nests within the gutter. Many homeowners choose to install gutter guards just for this reason.
Gutter Cleaning Less Often – Gutter guards must be removed in order to clean the gutters, but when they are present, this job doesn’t have to be done as regularly. Leaf guards reduce the frequency in which you need to clean gutters – or hire a professional to do the work for you – so that you may only need to have them cleaned only once each year.
Protection From Fires – A common way fires spread to homes is if embers fall into gutters where there is dry debris. This debris fuels the fire until it grows and damages the roof, and then the entire home. A simple gutter guard installation can protect your home from the risk of fire.
Prevent Ice Dams – If you happen to live in an area that gets frequent below-freezing temps, snow and sleet, you’ll be interested to know that gutter guards can help stop snow and ice from staying up on your roof. Their designs redirect melting ice and snow to get it off your roof much faster.
These are all problems that affect hundreds of thousands of homes each year. Gutter guards protect a vital system that protects the rest of the home. If you’ve never thought about installing them before, it may be time to think about it.

Professional Gutter Guard Installation
You can see, there are several benefits of gutter guards. While it might be tempting to go out and purchase the model you think will be the best – how much different could they really be, right? – you still have to install them correctly. In the end, you’re much better off letting a professional gutter guard installation service do the job for you.
Not only will professional installation be more reliable than your DIY work, but a local gutter guard service and installer will be able to suggest the best type of gutter system for your home in the first place. They know all of the options, and they will consider each factor in detail when deciding their recommendation.
Here are some of the factors a gutter guard company will consider when recommending the best gutter guards for your home:
Material – Gutter guards can be made of aluminum, plastic, foam or a handful of other materials. Some are made for temporary use while some are designed to last just as long as your gutters will. The material is a key factor in how long gutter guards will last.
Installation method – The type of gutter guards we would suggest for a homeowner to install themselves is the drop in kind that don’t require any fastening to the gutters. Installing other types, including snap-in and screw-on gutter guards, can destroy your rain gutters if they’re not installed correctly.
Appearance – A lot of gutter guards boast a low profile so they aren’t visible 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 install, and limited even more by the type of gutters you have. If it is important for you to have “invisible” gutter guards installed, it might be necessary for you to install new gutters.
Warranty – A lot of gutter guard styles will come with a short manufacturer’s warranty, but most of the aluminum types are guaranteed to last for at least 10-20 years. By having a licensed gutter guard installation company in Warren (instead of doing it yourself), you won’t void the warranty. Gutter guards should never lift your shingles, nor should their installation void your roof’s warranty.
Another great thing about having AllClean Gutters install your new gutter guards is that we’ll come back and fix them free of charge if there is any issue related to the installation.
Your budget is, of course, the last factor in determining which gutter guards you will have installed. We offer a wide range of options for every budget, and will provide the benefits listed above, to one degree or another.
