What are Gutter Guards?
Gutters are simple and affordable considering the purpose they serve: protecting much more valuable parts of your home. Gutters keep rain off the wood or siding, windows, porch, deck and basement, routing it discreetly away from your foundation.
Therefore, anything that protects your gutters and helps them function even more efficiently is a smart investment.
Gutter guards are an inexpensive feature you can install on any type of gutters, and they function as a protective shield for your gutters so debris and animals aren’t able to get inside of them. Installing gutter guards can be a money-saving measure that you’ll happy with for year after year.
There are several styles of gutter guard. The type you choose to install will depend 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. But in the long run, you will save a lot of time and money installing them. Here are some of the reasons we encourage you to install gutter guards on your roof:
Improve Drainage by Preventing Clogs – Gutter guards help keep leaves and debris out of your gutters. Otherwise big pieces settle in the gutter first, then small pieces pile up around them. Of all the different gutter guard styles, all of them block these larger pieces of debris from becoming stuck to begin with.
Reduce Mold & Mildew Growth – Gutter guards allow water to flow through the gutters faster because it isn’t blocked by debris. Water is one of the major causes of mold and mildew to grow, so moving the water faster through the gutters limits the time rain remains 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 an endless battle. Every style of gutter guard stops animals from crafting nests inside of the gutter. A lot of homeowners choose to install gutter guards for no other reason than this.
Gutter Cleaning Less Often – Gutter guards have to be removed in order to clean the gutters, but if they are present, this project won’t have to be done nearly as frequently. Leaf guards reduce the frequency that you need to clean out the gutters – or have someone to do it for you – so that you may only need to have them cleaned out once each 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, and then the rest of the 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 below-freezing temps, snow and ice, you’ll be happy to know that gutter guards 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 issues that affect hundreds of thousands of American homes every year. Gutter guards protect an important system that protects the rest of your 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 many benefits of gutter guards. While it may be tempting to go out and install the model you think will work best – how much different could they 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 job for you.
Not only will professional installation be much more reliable than DIY work, but a local gutter guard service and installer is going to be able to suggest the best type of gutter for your house in the first place. They are familiar with all of the options, and they will consider each factor carefully when deciding their recommendation.
Here are some of the factors a gutter guard installer will take into account when determining the perfect gutter guards for your home:
Material – Gutter guards are made of aluminum, plastic, foam or a handful of different materials. Some gutter guards are designed for temporary use while some are built to last as long as your gutters will. The material plays a key role in how long the gutter guards will last.
Installation method – The style of gutter guards we would encourage for a homeowner to install on their own is the drop in type that don’t require fastening to the gutters. Installing other types, including snap-in and screw-on gutter guards, might destroy your rain gutters if they are not installed correctly.
Appearance – Some 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 on your roof. If it is very important for you to have low profile gutter guards, it might be necessary for you to purchase new gutters.
Warranty – Most gutter guard styles will come with a shorter warranty, however most of the aluminum models are guaranteed to last for 10-20 years. By having a licensed gutter guard installer in Malden (instead of doing it on your own), you won’t void the warranty. Gutter guards should not lift your shingles, nor should their installation void your roof’s warranty.

Your budget is, of course, the last factor in deciding 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.
