What are Gutter Guards?
Gutters are simple and affordable considering how important they are: protecting much more valuable parts of your home. Gutters keep rain water off the siding, windows, patio, deck and basement, routing it discreetly away from your home.
Therefore, anything that can protect your gutters and helps them function more efficiently is a great investment as well.
Gutter guards are an affordable product you can add to any style of gutters, and they serve as a protective screen for gutters so large debris and pests can’t get inside of them. Buying gutter screens can be a money-saving choice that you’ll be rewarded for for many years.
There are several styles of gutter guard. The type you 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 will cost around 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 recommend to install gutter guards on your roof:
Improve Drainage by Preventing Clogs – Gutter guards keep debris out of your gutters. Otherwise larger pieces settle in the gutter first, then smaller pieces collect around them. Of all the many gutter guard styles, all of them stop larger leaves and pieces of debris from getting stuck to start with.
Reduce Mold & Mildew Growth – Gutter guards allow water to stream through the gutters faster since it is unhindered by any debris. Rain is one of the main causes of mold and mildew growth, therefore 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 is often an endless struggle. Every style of gutter guard stops pests from building nests inside of the gutter. Some homeowners choose to install gutter guards just for this reason.
Gutter Cleaning Less Often – Gutter guards have to be removed in order to clean the gutters, but when they are installed, this project won’t have to be done as regularly. Leaf guards can reduce the frequency in which you have to clean out the gutters – or or hire a company to do it for you – so that you may only need to have them cleaned only once each year.
Protection From Fires – A typical way fires spread to homes is when embers fall inside of gutters that have dry debris in them. This debris fuels the fire until it becomes too large and damages the roof, followed by the rest of the house. A standard 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 happy to know that gutter guards 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 faster.
These are all problems that affect hundreds of thousands of American homes each year. Gutter guards protect an important system that protects the rest of your 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 several benefits of gutter guards. While it might be tempting to go out and purchase the type you think will work best – how much different could they really 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 job for you.
Not only will professional installation be much more reliable than DIY work, but a professional gutter guard service and installer is going to be able to recommend the best type of gutter for your home in the first place. They are familiar with all of the choices, and they will consider each factor when deciding their recommendation.
Here are some of the things a gutter guard company will think about when determining the perfect gutter guards for your home:
Material – Gutter guards are made of aluminum, plastic, foam or a handful of other materials. Some are made for temporary usage and some are designed to last as long as your gutters will. The construction 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 themselves is the drop in kind that do not require any fastening to the gutters. However, these are not as dependable. Installing other types, including snap-in and screw-on gutter guards, might damage your gutters if they are not installed correctly.
Appearance – Many gutter guards boast a low profile so they aren’t visible from ground level, while some styles are very obvious. If that is an important requirement, you are 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 installed, it may be necessary to buy new gutters as well.
Warranty – A lot of gutter guard styles will come with a short manufacturer’s warranty, however most of the aluminum models are guaranteed for at least 10-20 years. By having a licensed gutter guard installer in Savannah (instead of doing it yourself), you won’t void the warranty. Gutter guards should not lift your shingles, nor should their installation void your roof’s warranty.
Another great thing about having Savannah Gutter Service install your gutter guards is that we’ll return and repair them free of charge if there is an 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 provide a range of options for all budgets, and will provide the benefits listed above, to one degree or another.
