NEED GUTTER GUARDS?
What are Gutter Guards?
Rain gutters are fairly simple and affordable considering how important they are: protecting more valuable areas of your home. Gutters keep rain water off the wood or siding, windows, porch, deck and basement, routing it discreetly away from your foundation.
That means, anything that can protect your gutters and helps them work even more efficiently is a great investment too.
Gutter guards are an affordable feature you can install on any type of gutters, and they function as a protective screen for gutters so large debris and animals won’t get inside of them. Installing gutter screens can be a money-saving choice that you’ll happy with for many years.
There are many types of gutter guard. The style you install depends on your available budget and the type of gutters you have on your home. Gutter guards are made of either aluminum, nylon or plastic.

Benefits of Gutter Guards
Typically, gutter guards cost about as much per linear foot as the gutters cost themselves. In the long run, you will save a lot of time and money installing them. Here are a few of the reasons we recommend to install gutter guards on your home:
Improve Drainage by Preventing Clogs – Gutter guards keep leaves and 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 different gutter guard models, all of them stop larger leaves and pieces of debris from getting stuck to begin with.
Reduce Mold & Mildew Growth – Gutter guards allow water to stream through the gutters faster since it is unhindered by large debris or leaves. Rain is one of the primary reasons for mold and mildew growth, so moving the water faster through the gutters reduces the time rain spends 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 battle. Every type of gutter guard prevents pests from building nests within the gutter. A lot of homeowners decide 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 job doesn’t have to be done nearly as frequently. Leaf guards can reduce the frequency in which you need to clean gutters – or hire a professional to do the job for you – so that you may only need to have them cleaned only once a year.
Protection From Fires – A typical 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 house. A simple gutter guard installation can protect your home from the risk of fire.
Prevent Ice Dams – If you live in an area that gets below-freezing temps, snow and sleet, you’ll be happy to know that gutter guards can help stop snow and ice from staying up on your roof. Their unique designs purposefully redirect melting ice and snow to get it off your roof faster.
These are all issues that impact hundreds of thousands of homes every year. Gutter guards protect an important system that protects the rest of the house. If you’ve never thought about installing them before, it might 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 purchase the type you think will work best – how different could they really be, right? – you still have to install them correctly. In the end, you’re much better off letting a professional gutter guard installer do the project for you.
Not only will their installation be 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 styles, and they will consider each factor in detail when deciding their recommendation.
Here are a few of the factors a gutter guard company will think about when determining the best gutter guards for your home:
Material – Gutter guards are made of aluminum, plastic, foam or a handful of other materials. Some gutter guards are designed for temporary use and some are built to last just as long as your gutters will. The material is a key factor in how long 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 do not require fastening to the gutters. Installing other types, including snap-in and screw-on gutter guards, might destroy your rain gutters if they’re not installed correctly.
Appearance – Many gutter guards boast a low profile so they aren’t visible from ground level, while others are visible. If that is an important condition, you will be limited on the type 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 installed, it might be necessary to install new gutters too.
Warranty – Many gutter guard styles will come with a shorter warranty, however most of the aluminum types are guaranteed to last for at least 10-20 years. By hiring a licensed gutter guard installation company in Renton (instead of 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.

Your budget is, of course, the last factor in deciding the gutter guards you will have installed. We offer a range of options for every budget, and will provide the benefits listed above, to one degree or another.
