What are Gutter Guards?
Gutters are fairly basic and affordable considering the purpose they serve: protecting much more valuable parts of your house. Gutters keep rain water off the wood or siding, windows, porch, deck and basement, routing it discreetly away from your foundation.
Therefore, anything that can protect your gutters and helps them work even more efficiently is a smart investment.
Gutter guards are an affordable product you can install on any style of gutters, and they work as a protective barrier for your gutters so debris and pests can’t get inside of them. Installing gutter guards can be a money-saving measure that you’ll happy with for year after year.
There are a lot of styles of gutter guard. The style you choose to install will depend on your available 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 themselves. In the long run, you’re going to save time and money by installing them. Here are some of the reasons we think you should install gutter guards on your roof:
Improve Drainage by Preventing Clogs – Gutter guards keep leaves and debris out of your gutters. Otherwise big pieces settle in the gutter first, then smaller pieces of debris collect around them. Of all the many gutter guard styles, all of them block these larger leaves and pieces of debris from becoming stuck to start with.
Reduce Mold & Mildew Growth – Gutter guards allow water to flow through the gutters faster since it is unhindered by any large debris. Water is one of the major reasons for mold and mildew to grow, therefore moving the water faster through the gutters limits the amount of time rain remains sitting still, possibly 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 struggle. Every model of gutter guard stops animals from crafting nests within the gutter. Some homeowners decide to install gutter guards for no other reason than this.
Gutter Cleaning Less Often – Gutter guards must be removed in order to clean the gutters, but if they are installed, this project won’t have to be done as regularly. Leaf guards can reduce the frequency that you need to clean gutters – or have someone to do it for you – so that you might only have to have them cleaned out once a 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, followed by the rest of the home. A basic gutter guard installation can protect your home from this fire risk.
Prevent Ice Dams – If you live in an area that gets below-freezing temps, snow and sleet, you’ll be happy to know that gutter guards can help prevent 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 issues that impact hundreds of thousands of homes every year. Gutter guards protect a vital system that protects the rest of the home. If you’ve never considered installing them before, it might be time to think about it.

Professional Gutter Guard Installation
As you can see, there are several benefits of gutter guards. While it might be tempting to go out and install the model you think will be the best – how much different could they really be, right? – you still have to install them properly. All things considered, you’re much better off letting a professional gutter guard installer do the project for you.
Not only will their 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 for your house in the first place. They are familiar with all of the styles, and they will consider each factor when making their recommendation.
Here are some of the factors a gutter guard installer will consider when deciding the best gutter guards for your home:
Material – Gutter guards can be made of aluminum, plastic, foam or a handful of other materials. Some gutter guards are made for temporary usage and others are built to last as long as your gutters will. The construction is a key role in how long the gutter guards will last.
Installation method – The only type of gutter guards we would encourage for a homeowner to install on their own is the drop in type that do not require any fastening to the gutters. However, these are not as dependable. Installing the other types, including snap-in and screw-on gutter guards, might destroy your gutters if they are not installed correctly.
Appearance – A lot of gutter guards offer a low profile so they cannot be seen from ground level, while some styles are very obvious. If this 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 very important for you to have low profile gutter guards installed, it might be necessary for you to install new gutters too.
Warranty – Many gutter guard styles will come with a shorter manufacturer’s warranty, but most of the aluminum models are guaranteed to last for at least 10-20 years. By having a licensed gutter guard installer in Warwick (rather than doing it on your own), you won’t void your warranty. Gutter guards should never lift your shingles, nor should their installation void your roof’s warranty.
Another great thing about having Warwick Gutter Cleaning install your gutter guards is that we’ll return and repair them free of charge if there is any issue due to the installation.
Your budget is, of course, the last factor in deciding 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.
