What are Gutter Guards?
Rain gutters are fairly basic and inexpensive considering how important they are: protecting more valuable parts of your home. Gutters help keep rain off the wood or siding, windows, patio, deck and basement, routing it discreetly away from your foundation.
Therefore, anything that protects your gutters and helps them work even more efficiently is a great investment.
Gutter guards are an inexpensive product you can install on any type of gutters, and they serve as a protective screen for gutters so large debris and animals won’t get inside of them. Installing gutter guards can be a money-saving choice that you’ll be rewarded for for year after year.
There are many types 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
On average, gutter guards cost about as much per linear foot as the gutters cost themselves. But 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 think you should install gutter guards on your roof:
Improve Drainage by Preventing Clogs – Gutter guards help keep debris out of your gutters. Otherwise big pieces of debris settle in the gutter first, then small pieces pile up around them. Of all the many gutter guard styles, all of them prevent larger leaves and pieces of debris from becoming stuck to begin with.
Reduce Mold & Mildew Growth – Gutter guards help water to stream through the gutters quickly because it isn’t blocked 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 limits 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 animals from crafting nests within the gutter. A lot of homeowners choose to install gutter guards for this reason alone.
Gutter Cleaning Less Often – Gutter guards need to be removed to clean the gutters, but when they are present, this job won’t have to be done as regularly. Leaf guards reduce the frequency that you have to clean out the gutters – or have someone to do the job 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 inside of 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 house. A basic gutter guard installation can protect your home from this fire risk.
Prevent Ice Dams – If you live in an area that gets below-freezing temps, snow and sleet, you’ll be interested to know that gutter guards can help prevent snow and ice from staying up on your roof. Their designs purposefully redirect melting snow and ice to get it off your roof much faster.
These are all issues that impact hundreds of thousands of homes every year. Gutter guards protect a vital system that protects the rest of the house. 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 may be tempting to go out and buy the type you think will work best – how different could they be, right? – you still have to install them correctly. Ultimately, 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 your DIY work, but a local gutter guard service and installer will be able to recommend the best type of gutter for your home in the first place. They are familiar with all of the styles, and they will consider each factor in detail when deciding their recommendation.
Here are a few of the things a gutter guard service will take into account when determining the best gutter guards for your home:
Material – Gutter guards are manufactured with aluminum, plastic, foam or a handful of other materials. Some gutter guards are made for temporary usage and some are designed to last as long as your gutters. The construction is a key role in how long the gutter guards will last.
Installation method – The type of gutter guards we would encourage for a homeowner to install on their own is the drop in kind that don’t require any fastening to the gutters. Installing the other types, including snap-in and screw-on gutter guards, could destroy your rain gutters if they are not installed the right way.
Appearance – A lot of gutter guards boast a low profile so they aren’t visible from ground level, while others are very obvious. If this is an important requirement, you will be limited on the type of gutter guard you can have, and limited even more by the style of gutters you have on your home. If it is important for you to have low profile gutter guards installed, it may be necessary for you to buy new gutters too.
Warranty – A lot of gutter guard styles will come with a shorter manufacturer’s warranty, but most of the aluminum types are guaranteed to last for 10-20 years. By having a licensed gutter guard installer in Concord (rather than doing it yourself), 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 The Concord Gutter Company install your gutter guards is that we’ll return and repair them for FREE if there is any issue due to the installation.
Your budget is, of course, the final factor in choosing the gutter guards you will have installed. We provide a wide range of options for every budget, and will provide the benefits listed above, to one degree or another.
