NEED GUTTER GUARDS?
What are Gutter Guards?
Gutters are simple and low cost considering how important they are: protecting more valuable parts of your house. Gutters keep rain off the wood or siding, windows, patio, deck and basement, routing it away from your house.
Therefore, anything that can protect your gutters from damage and helps them work more efficiently is a smart investment as well.
Gutter guards are an inexpensive product you can add to any type of gutters, and they work as a protective screen for your gutters so debris and pests won’t get inside of them. Purchasing leaf guards can be a money-saving choice that you’ll be rewarded for for year after year.
There are many styles of gutter guard. The type you choose to install will depend on your budget and the type of gutters you have. Gutter guards are made of either aluminum, nylon or plastic.

Benefits of Gutter Guards
Typically, gutter guards cost around as much per linear foot as the gutters themselves. But in the long run, you will save a lot of time and money installing them. Here are some of the reasons we recommend to install gutter guards on your home:
Improve Drainage by Preventing Clogs – Gutter guards help keep leaves and most debris out of your gutters. Otherwise large pieces of debris settle in the gutter first, then small pieces collect around them. Of all the many gutter guard styles, all of them block larger pieces of debris from getting stuck to start with.
Reduce Mold & Mildew Growth – Gutter guards allow water to flow through the gutters quickly since it isn’t blocked by large debris or leaves. Rain is one of the primary causes of 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 can be an endless struggle. Every type of gutter guard stops pests from building 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 must be removed in order to clean the gutters, but if they are present, this project doesn’t have to be done as often. Leaf guards reduce the frequency that you have to clean out the gutters – or hire a professional to do it for you – so that you may only have to have them cleaned only once a year.
Protection From Fires – A typical way fires spread to homes is if embers fall inside of gutters where there is dry debris. This debris gives the fire fuel until it grows and damages the roof, and then the rest of the house. A standard 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 temperatures, 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 purposefully redirect melting snow and ice to get it off your roof much faster.
These are all issues that affect hundreds of thousands of homes each year. Gutter guards protect a vital system that protects the rest of your home. If you haven’t thought about installing them before, it could be time to think about it.

Professional Gutter Guard Installation
You can see, there are many benefits of gutter guards. While it might be tempting to go out and install the type you think will be the best – how different could they be, right? – you will still have to install them properly. In the end, you’re much better off letting a professional gutter guard installer do the project for you.
Not only will their installation be much more reliable than DIY work, but a gutter guard service and installer is going to be able to recommend the best type of gutter for your house in the first place. They know all of the choices, and they will consider each factor carefully when making their recommendation.
Here are some of the factors a gutter guard service will take into account when choosing the best gutter guards for your home:
Material – Gutter guards are made of aluminum, plastic, foam or a handful of different materials. Some gutter guards are made for temporary usage while some are built to last as long as your gutters will. The construction is a key role in how long gutter guards will last.
Installation method – The type of gutter guards we would recommend for a homeowner to install themselves is the drop in type that don’t require fastening to the gutters. Installing other types, including snap-in and screw-on gutter guards, could destroy your rain 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 this is an important requirement, you will be limited on the style of gutter guard you can install, and limited even more by the type of gutters you have on your roof. If it is important for you to have low profile gutter guards, it might be necessary for you to install 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 Taylor (rather than doing it yourself), you won’t void your warranty. Gutter guards should never lift your shingles, nor should the installation void your roof’s warranty.
Another great thing by having True Clean Gutters install your gutter guards is that we’ll return and repair them for FREE if there is any issue due to the installation from our team.
Your budget is, of course, the last factor in choosing the gutter guards you will have installed. We provide a wide range of options for all budgets, and will provide the benefits listed above, to one degree or another.
