What are Gutter Guards?
Gutters are simple and low cost considering how important they are: protecting much more valuable parts of your house. Gutters help keep rain off the siding, windows, porch, deck and basement, routing it discreetly away from your foundation.
That means, anything that protects your gutters and helps them function more efficiently is a good investment too.
Gutter guards are an inexpensive product you can add to any style of gutters, and they function as a protective screen for your gutters so large debris and pests aren’t able to get inside of them. Purchasing gutter screens can be a money-saving choice that you’ll thank yourself for year after year.
There are a lot of styles of gutter guard. The style you install depends on your budget and the type of gutters you have. 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 by 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 most debris out of your gutters. Otherwise big pieces settle in the gutter first, then small pieces of debris collect around them. Of all the different gutter guard styles, all of them prevent larger pieces of debris from becoming stuck to start with.
Reduce Mold & Mildew Growth – Gutter guards help water to flow through the gutters faster because it is unhindered by any large debris or leaves. Water is one of the primary reasons for mold and mildew to grow, so moving the water faster through the gutters reduces the amount of time rain remains 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 can be a constant battle. Every style of gutter guard prevents animals from building nests within the gutter. Some homeowners choose to install gutter guards just for this reason.
Gutter Cleaning Less Often – Gutter guards have to be removed to clean the gutters, but when they are installed, this job doesn’t have to be done as regularly. Leaf guards can cut down the frequency that you need to clean out the gutters – or hire a professional to do the job 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 into gutters where there is dry debris. This debris gives the fire fuel until it grows and damages the roof, and then the entire home. A standard gutter guard installation can protect your home from this fire risk.
Prevent Ice Dams – If you happen to live in an area that gets below-freezing temperatures, snow and sleet, you’ll be interested to know that gutter guards help prevent snow and ice from staying up on your roof. Their designs redirect melting snow and ice to get it off your roof faster.
These are all problems that impact hundreds of thousands of homes every year. Gutter guards protect an important system that protects the rest of the home. If you haven’t considered installing them before, it may be time to think about it.

Professional Gutter Guard Installation
As you can see, there are a lot of benefits of gutter guards. While it might be tempting to go out and install the type you think will work best – how different could they be, right? – you still have to install them properly. In the end, you’re much better off having a professional gutter guard installation service do the job for you.
Not only will their installation be a lot more reliable than your 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 know all of the options, and they will consider each factor carefully when making their recommendation.
Here are a few of the factors a gutter guard service will think about when choosing 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 use while others are built to last just as long as your gutters will. The material plays a key role in how long gutter guards will last.
Installation method – The style of gutter guards we would suggest for a homeowner to install on their own 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 damage your gutters if they are 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 visible. If this is an important condition, you are limited on the style of gutter guard you can install, and limited even more by the style of gutters you have. If it is very important for you to have low profile gutter guards, it might be necessary for you to install new gutters as well.
Warranty – Some gutter guard styles will come with a short manufacturer’s warranty, but most of the aluminum models are guaranteed to last for at least 10-20 years. By having a licensed gutter guard installer in Sayreville (instead of doing it on your own), 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 about having Sayreville Gutter Service install your gutter guards is that we’ll return and repair them free of charge if there is an issue due to the installation.
Your budget is, of course, the last factor in deciding which gutter guards you will have installed. We offer a range of options for all budgets, and will provide the benefits listed above, to one degree or another.
