What are Gutter Guards?
Gutters are fairly simple and low cost considering the purpose they serve: protecting much more valuable parts of your house. Gutters help keep rain off the wood or siding, windows, porch, deck and basement, directing it away from your foundation.
Therefore, anything that protects your gutters and helps them work more efficiently is a smart investment as well.
Gutter guards are a low cost product you can add to any type of gutters, and they work as a protective shield for gutters so large debris and animals can’t get inside of them. Purchasing gutter guards can be a money-saving decision that you’ll happy with for year after year.
There are several types of gutter guard. The style you install depends on your budget and the type of rain gutters you have. Gutter guards are made of either aluminum, nylon or plastic.

Benefits of Gutter Guards
On average, gutter guards will cost around as much per linear foot as the gutters cost themselves. In the long run, you’re going to save a lot of time and money installing them. Here are some of the reasons we recommend to install gutter guards on your roof:
Improve Drainage by Preventing Clogs – Gutter guards help keep leaves and debris out of your gutters. Otherwise large pieces of debris settle in the gutter first, then smaller pieces of debris collect around them. Of all the different gutter guard models, all of them block these larger leaves and pieces of debris from becoming stuck to start with.
Reduce Mold & Mildew Growth – Gutter guards allow water to stream through the gutters faster because it isn’t blocked by large debris. Water is one of the major causes of mold and mildew growth, therefore moving the water faster through the gutters reduces the time rain is 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 is often an endless battle. Every style of gutter guard stops pests from crafting nests inside of the gutter. Many homeowners choose to install gutter guards just for this reason.
Gutter Cleaning Less Often – Gutter guards must 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 in which you have to clean gutters – or or hire a company to do the job for you – so that you may only have to have them cleaned out once a year.
Protection From Fires – A common 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 becomes too large and damages the roof, followed by the entire home. A simple 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 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 faster.
These are all issues that impact hundreds of thousands of American homes every year. Gutter guards protect an important system that protects the rest of the house. If you haven’t thought about installing them before, it might 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 install the type you think will be the best – how much different could they be, right? – you will still have to install them correctly. In the end, you’re much better off having a professional gutter guard installation service do the job for you.
Not only will professional installation be much more reliable than DIY work, but a professional gutter guard service and installer will be able to recommend the best type of gutter for your house 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 factors a gutter guard service will think about when deciding the perfect 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 use and 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 only 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 other types, including snap-in and screw-on gutter guards, could damage your gutters if they are not installed correctly.
Appearance – Many gutter guards offer a low profile so they cannot be seen from ground level, while some styles are visible. If that is an important condition, you are 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 very important for you to have low profile gutter guards installed, it may be necessary to buy new gutters.
Warranty – Some gutter guard styles will come with a short manufacturer’s warranty, but most of the aluminum models are guaranteed to last for 10-20 years. By having a licensed gutter guard installer in Beverly (rather than doing it on your own), you won’t void the warranty. Gutter guards should never lift your shingles, nor should the installation void your roof’s warranty.
Another great thing by having Beverly Gutter Cleaning install your new gutter guards is that we’ll come back and repair them free of charge if there is an issue related to the installation.
Your budget is, of course, the final factor in determining 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.
