NEED GUTTER GUARDS?
What are Gutter Guards?
Rain gutters are basic and inexpensive considering how important they are: protecting much more valuable parts of your home. Gutters help keep rain water off the wood or siding, windows, patio, deck and basement, routing it discreetly away from your home.
That means, anything that protects your gutters and helps them function more efficiently is a good investment as well.
Gutter guards are a low cost product you can add to almost any style of gutters, and they work as a protective shield for your gutters so debris and pests won’t get inside of them. Installing gutter screens can be a money-saving choice that you’ll thank yourself for many years.
There are many styles of gutter guard. The type you install depends on your budget and the type of gutters you have on your home. Gutter guards are made of aluminum, nylon or plastic.

Benefits of Gutter Guards
On average, gutter guards cost around as much per linear foot as the gutters cost themselves. In the long run, you will save time and money 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 most debris out of your gutters. Otherwise large pieces settle in the gutter first, then small pieces collect around them. Of all the many gutter guard styles, all of them prevent larger pieces of debris from getting stuck to begin with.
Reduce Mold & Mildew Growth – Gutter guards allow water to flow through the gutters quickly since it isn’t blocked by debris. Water is one of the main causes of mold and mildew to grow, so moving the water faster through the gutters limits the time rain spends sitting still, leading to mold and mildew.
Prevent Pests from Nesting – Keeping squirrels, chipmunks, birds and insects out of your gutters and off the roof is often an endless battle. Every type of gutter guard prevents pests from crafting nests inside of the gutter. Some homeowners choose 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 present, this project doesn’t have to be done nearly as frequently. Leaf guards can cut down the frequency that you have to clean gutters – or hire a professional to do the work for you – so that you might only have to have them cleaned out once a year.
Protection From Fires – A typical way fires spread to homes is when embers fall into gutters where there is dry debris. This debris gives the fire fuel until it becomes too large and damages the roof, followed by the entire home. A simple gutter guard installation can protect your home from this fire risk.
Prevent Ice Dams – If you happen to live in an area that gets frequent below-freezing temperatures, snow and sleet, you’ll be interested to know that gutter guards can help prevent snow and ice from staying up on your roof. Their designs purposefully redirect melting ice and snow to get it off your roof much faster.
These are all issues that affect hundreds of thousands of American homes every year. Gutter guards protect an important system that protects the rest of the house. If you’ve never considered installing them before, it could 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 buy the model you think will be the best – how different could they be, right? – you still have to install them correctly. All things considered, you’re much better off having a professional gutter guard installer do the project for you.
Not only will professional installation be more reliable than DIY work, but a professional gutter guard service and installer will be able to suggest the best type of gutter for your house in the first place. They are familiar with all of the choices, and they will consider each factor in detail when deciding their recommendation.
Here are some of the things a gutter guard service will consider when determining the best gutter guards for your home:
Material – Gutter guards are manufactured with aluminum, plastic, foam or a handful of different materials. Some are made for temporary usage while some are designed 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 type of gutter guards we would recommend for a homeowner to install themselves is the drop in type that don’t require any fastening to the gutters. However, these are not as dependable. Installing other types, including snap-in and screw-on gutter guards, can damage your rain gutters if they’re not installed correctly.
Appearance – Many gutter guards boast a low profile so they cannot be seen from ground level, while others are visible. If this is an important condition, you are limited on the type of gutter guard you can have, and limited even more by the style of gutters you have. If it is important for you to have low profile gutter guards installed, it may be necessary for you to buy new gutters as well.
Warranty – Most gutter guard styles will come with a short manufacturer’s warranty, however most of the aluminum types are guaranteed for at least 10-20 years. By hiring a licensed gutter guard installer in Bayonne (instead of doing it on your own), you won’t void your warranty. Gutter guards should not lift your shingles, nor should their installation void your roof’s warranty.
