What are Gutter Guards?
Gutters are simple and affordable considering the purpose they serve: protecting more valuable areas of your house. Gutters help keep rain water off the wood or siding, windows, porch, deck and basement, directing it away from your house.
Therefore, anything that can protect your gutters and helps them work even more efficiently is a smart investment too.
Gutter guards are an inexpensive product you can install on any type of gutters, and they serve as a protective barrier for gutters so large debris and pests can’t get inside of them. Buying gutter guards can be a money-saving measure that you’ll happy with for year after year.
There are many styles of gutter guard. The style you choose to install depends on your 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 will cost around as much per linear foot as the gutters cost themselves. In the long run, you’re going to save a lot of time and money by installing them. Here are a few of the reasons we think you should install gutter guards on your house:
Improve Drainage by Preventing Clogs – Gutter guards help keep debris out of your gutters. Otherwise larger pieces of debris settle in the gutter first, then smaller pieces of debris pile up around them. Of all the different gutter guard styles, all of them stop these larger pieces of debris from getting stuck to begin with.
Reduce Mold & Mildew Growth – Gutter guards allow water to flow through the gutters faster since it isn’t blocked by debris or leaves. Water 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 is 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 can be a constant struggle. Every model of gutter guard stops pests from building nests inside of the gutter. Some homeowners choose 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 when they are installed, this project doesn’t have to be done as regularly. Leaf guards reduce the frequency that you need to clean out the 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 common way fires spread to homes is when embers fall into gutters that have dry debris in them. This debris gives the fire fuel until it grows and damages the roof, followed by the entire home. A standard gutter guard installation can protect your home from the risk of fire.
Prevent Ice Dams – If you live in an area that gets frequent below-freezing temps, snow and ice, you’ll be interested to know that gutter guards help stop snow and ice from staying up on your roof. Their unique designs 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 the home. If you’ve never considered 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 run out and buy the model you think will be the best – how different could they really be, right? – you will still have to install them properly. All things considered, you’re much better off letting a professional gutter guard installation service do the job for you.
Not only will their installation be much more reliable than DIY work, but a local gutter guard service and installer will be able to recommend the best type of gutter for your house in the first place. They know all of the options, and they will consider each factor when making their recommendation.
Here are a few of the factors a gutter guard service will take into account when recommending the perfect gutter guards for your home:
Material – Gutter guards are manufactured with aluminum, plastic, foam or a handful of other materials. Some gutter guards are made for temporary usage and some are built to last just as long as your gutters will. The material is a key role in how long the 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 kind that don’t require fastening to the gutters. Installing other types, including snap-in and screw-on gutter guards, can damage your rain gutters if they’re not installed the right way.
Appearance – A lot of 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 condition, you will be limited on the style of gutter guard you can have, and limited even more by the style of gutters you have on your roof. If it is very important for you to have “invisible” gutter guards, it may be necessary for you to buy new gutters as well.
Warranty – Some gutter guard styles will come with a shorter warranty, but most of the aluminum types are guaranteed for 10-20 years. By having a licensed gutter guard installation company in Pittsfield (instead of doing it yourself), you won’t void your warranty. Gutter guards should not lift your shingles, nor should their installation void your roof’s warranty.
Another great thing about having Superior Gutter Cleaning install your new gutter guards is that we’ll return and fix them for FREE if there is an issue related to the installation from our team.
Your budget is, of course, the last factor in determining which gutter guards you will have installed. We offer a range of options for every budget, and will provide the benefits listed above, to one degree or another.
