What are Gutter Guards?
Rain gutters are basic and affordable considering how important they are: protecting much more valuable parts of your home. Gutters help keep rain water off the siding, windows, patio, deck and basement, directing it discreetly away from your home.
That means, anything that protects your gutters from damage and helps them work even more efficiently is a great investment.
Gutter guards are a low cost product you can install on any style of gutters, and they function as a protective screen for gutters so debris and pests aren’t able to get inside of them. Buying gutter guards can be a money-saving measure that you’ll happy with for many years.
There are several types of gutter guard. The style you install will depend on your budget and the type of gutters you have. Gutter guards are made of aluminum, nylon or plastic.

Benefits of Gutter Guards
On average, gutter guards cost about as much per linear foot as the gutters cost themselves. But in the long run, you’re going to save a lot of time and money installing them. Here are some of the reasons we recommend to install gutter guards on your house:
Improve Drainage by Preventing Clogs – Gutter guards help 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 different gutter guard styles, all of them stop these larger leaves and pieces of debris from getting stuck to start with.
Reduce Mold & Mildew Growth – Gutter guards help water to flow through the gutters quickly because it is unhindered by any debris or leaves. Rain is one of the main reasons for mold and mildew to grow, so moving the water faster through the gutters limits the amount of time rain spends sitting still, leading to mold and mildew.
Prevent Pests from Nesting – Keeping squirrels, chipmunks, birds and insects out of gutters and off the roof is often a constant battle. Every type of gutter guard prevents animals from crafting nests inside of the gutter. Many homeowners decide to install gutter guards for this reason alone.
Gutter Cleaning Less Often – Gutter guards need to be removed in order to clean the gutters, but if they are present, this job won’t have to be done as regularly. Leaf guards can cut down the frequency that you have to clean gutters – or or hire a company to do it for you – so that you might only need to have them cleaned only once a year.
Protection From Fires – A typical way fires spread to homes is if embers fall into gutters that have dry debris in them. This debris gives the fire fuel until it becomes too large and damages the roof, and then the rest of the home. A simple gutter guard installation can protect your home from this fire risk.
Prevent Ice Dams – If you live in an area that gets below-freezing temperatures, snow and ice, you’ll be happy to know that gutter guards can 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 faster.
These are all problems that affect hundreds of thousands of American homes each year. Gutter guards protect a vital system that protects the rest of your 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 may be tempting to go out and purchase the type you think will be the best – how much different could they really be, right? – you will 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 their installation be a lot more reliable than DIY work, but a gutter guard service and installer should be able to suggest the best type of gutter for your home in the first place. They know all of the choices, and they will consider each factor carefully when making their recommendation.
Here are a few of the things a gutter guard service will take into account when choosing 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 designed to last as long as your gutters will. The material plays 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 on their own is the drop in kind that do not require fastening to the gutters. Installing other types, including snap-in and screw-on gutter guards, might destroy your gutters if they’re 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 will be limited on the type of gutter guard you can install, and limited even more by the style of gutters you have on your home. If it is very important for you to have low profile gutter guards, it may be necessary to buy new gutters too.
Warranty – Some gutter guard styles will come with a short manufacturer’s warranty, but most of the aluminum models are guaranteed to last for 10-20 years. By having a licensed gutter guard installation company in Springfield (rather than doing it on your own), you won’t void the warranty. Gutter guards should never lift your shingles, nor should the installation void your roof’s warranty.
Another great thing about having Springfield Gutter Service install your new gutter guards is that we’ll come back and repair them for FREE if there is any issue due 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 all budgets, and will provide the benefits listed above, to one degree or another.
