NEED GUTTER GUARDS?
What are Gutter Guards?
Gutters are simple and inexpensive considering the purpose they serve: protecting more valuable parts of your house. Gutters keep rain water off the siding, windows, patio, deck and basement, routing it away from your home.
That means, anything that can protect your gutters and helps them function even more efficiently is a smart investment as well.
Gutter guards are a low cost feature you can add to almost any style of gutters, and they function as a protective screen for gutters so large debris and animals can’t get inside of them. Installing gutter guards can be a money-saving decision that you’ll be rewarded for for many years.
There are a lot of types of gutter guard. The type you install depends on your available budget and the type of gutters you have on your home. 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’re going to save a lot of time and money installing them. Here are a few of the reasons we encourage you to install gutter guards on your home:
Improve Drainage by Preventing Clogs – Gutter guards keep debris out of your gutters. Otherwise large pieces of debris settle in the gutter first, then smaller pieces collect around them. Of all the different gutter guard styles, all of them prevent these larger leaves and pieces of debris from getting stuck to begin with.
Reduce Mold & Mildew Growth – Gutter guards help water to flow through the gutters quickly because it isn’t blocked by any debris. Water is one of the primary causes of mold and mildew to grow, so moving the water faster through the gutters reduces the time rain remains sitting still, 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 stops animals from building nests inside of the gutter. Some homeowners choose to install gutter guards for this reason alone.
Gutter Cleaning Less Often – Gutter guards have to be removed in order to clean the gutters, but when they are installed, this job won’t have to be done nearly as frequently. Leaf guards cut down the frequency that you need to clean gutters – or have someone to do it for you – so that you might only need to have them cleaned only 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 becomes too large and damages the roof, and then the entire home. A basic 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 ice, you’ll be happy 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 problems that impact hundreds of thousands of American homes each year. Gutter guards protect an important system that protects the rest of the house. If you’ve never thought about installing them before, it may be time to think about it.

Professional Gutter Guard Installation
You can see, there are a lot of benefits of gutter guards. While it may be tempting to run out and purchase the type you think will be the best – how much different could they really be, right? – you will still have to install them properly. Ultimately, you’re much better off having a professional gutter guard installation company do the project for you.
Not only will professional installation be a lot more reliable than DIY work, but a 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 company will take into account when determining the best gutter guards for your home:
Material – Gutter guards can be made of aluminum, plastic, foam or a handful of different materials. Some are made for temporary use and others are designed to last just as long as your gutters will. The material plays a key role in how long the gutter guards will last.
Installation method – The only 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. However, these are not as dependable. Installing other types, including snap-in and screw-on gutter guards, can destroy your gutters if they are 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 visible. If this is an important requirement, you will be limited on the type of gutter guard you can install, and limited even more by the type of gutters you have. If it is very important for you to have low profile gutter guards, it might be necessary for you to buy 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 hiring a licensed gutter guard installation company in Anderson (rather than doing it on your own), you won’t void your warranty. Gutter guards should not lift your shingles, nor should the installation void your roof’s warranty.
Another great thing by having AllClean Anderson Gutters install your gutter guards is that we’ll return and repair them for FREE if there is an issue related 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.
