NEED GUTTER GUARDS?
What are Gutter Guards?
Gutters are basic and low cost considering how important they are: protecting more valuable parts of your house. Gutters keep rain water off the siding, windows, porch, deck and basement, routing it away from your foundation.
Therefore, anything that can protect your gutters from damage and helps them work more efficiently is a smart investment.
Gutter guards are a low cost feature you can install on any style of gutters, and they function as a protective shield for gutters so large debris and animals aren’t able to get inside of them. Buying gutter screens can be a money-saving measure that you’ll be rewarded for for many years.
There are several styles of gutter guard. The type you install will depend on your available budget and the type of gutters you have. Gutter guards are made of aluminum, nylon or plastic.

Benefits of Gutter Guards
Typically, gutter guards cost about as much per linear foot as the gutters 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 home:
Improve Drainage by Preventing Clogs – Gutter guards help keep leaves and most debris out of your gutters. Otherwise large pieces settle in the gutter first, then smaller pieces collect around them. Of all the different gutter guard models, all of them stop larger leaves and 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 is unhindered by debris or leaves. Rain is one of the main reasons for mold and mildew to grow, therefore moving the water faster through the gutters reduces the time rain spends sitting still, possibly leading to mold and mildew.
Prevent Pests from Nesting – Keeping squirrels, chipmunks, birds and insects out of rain gutters and off the roof can be an endless struggle. Every type of gutter guard prevents pests from crafting nests within the gutter. Some homeowners decide 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 present, this job won’t have to be done nearly as frequently. Leaf guards can reduce the frequency that you have to clean gutters – or or hire a company to do it for you – so that you may only have to have them cleaned out once each year.
Protection From Fires – A common 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, and then the entire house. 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 temperatures, snow and sleet, you’ll be interested to know that gutter guards can help stop snow and ice from staying up on your roof. Their designs redirect melting ice and snow to get it off your roof faster.
These are all issues that affect hundreds of thousands of American homes each year. Gutter guards protect an important 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 go out and buy the type you think will be the best – how different could they be, right? – you will still have to install them correctly. All things considered, you’re much better off letting a professional gutter guard installation service do the project for you.
Not only will professional installation be a lot more reliable than DIY work, but a professional gutter guard service and installer should be able to suggest the best type of gutter system for your home in the first place. They are familiar with all of the choices, and they will consider each factor carefully when deciding their recommendation.
Here are a few of the things a gutter guard service will take into account when recommending the perfect gutter guards for your home:
Material – Gutter guards can be made of aluminum, plastic, foam or a handful of other materials. Some are made for temporary usage while some are designed to last as long as your gutters will. The material is a key factor in how long the gutter guards will last.
Installation method – The style of gutter guards we would encourage for a homeowner to install themselves is the drop in kind that do not require fastening to the gutters. However, these are not as dependable. 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 – Many gutter guards boast a low profile so they cannot be seen from ground level, while some styles are visible. If that is an important condition, you will be 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 to purchase new gutters as well.
Warranty – A lot of gutter guard styles will come with a shorter manufacturer’s warranty, however most of the aluminum types are guaranteed for 10-20 years. By having a licensed gutter guard installer in Attleboro (instead of doing it on your own), you won’t void the warranty. Gutter guards should never lift your shingles, nor should their installation void your roof’s warranty.
Another great thing about having Attleboro Gutters install your new gutter guards is that we’ll come back and repair them free of charge if there is any issue related to the installation from our team.
Your budget is, of course, the last factor in deciding the 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.
