What are Gutter Guards?
Gutters are basic and inexpensive considering the purpose they serve: protecting more valuable areas of your house. Gutters keep rain water off the siding, windows, porch, deck and basement, routing it discreetly away from your house.
Therefore, anything that can protect your gutters from damage and helps them work more efficiently is a good investment as well.
Gutter guards are an affordable product you can install on almost any style of gutters, and they serve as a protective screen for your gutters so large debris and pests can’t get inside of them. Buying gutter guards can be a money-saving measure that you’ll thank yourself for many years.
There are a lot of types of gutter guard. The type you choose to install will depend on your budget and the type of rain gutters you have on your home. Gutter guards are made of aluminum, nylon or plastic.

Benefits of Gutter Guards
Typically, gutter guards will cost around as much per linear foot as the gutters themselves. But in the long run, you will save 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 most debris out of your gutters. Otherwise large pieces settle in the gutter first, then small pieces pile up around them. Of all the different gutter guard styles, all of them prevent larger pieces of debris from getting stuck to start with.
Reduce Mold & Mildew Growth – Gutter guards allow water to stream through the gutters quickly because it is unhindered by debris. Rain is one of the primary reasons for mold and mildew to grow, so moving the water faster through the gutters limits 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 gutters and off the roof is often a constant battle. Every type of gutter guard prevents pests from building nests within the gutter. Many homeowners decide to install gutter guards for this reason alone.
Gutter Cleaning Less Often – Gutter guards must be removed in order to clean the gutters, but when they are installed, this job doesn’t have to be done as often. Leaf guards reduce the frequency in which you have to clean gutters – or hire a professional to do the job for you – so that you might only have to have them cleaned out once a year.
Protection From Fires – A typical way fires spread to homes is if embers fall inside of gutters where there is dry debris. 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 the risk of fire.
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 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 problems that impact hundreds of thousands of American homes each year. Gutter guards protect an important system that protects the rest of the home. 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 many benefits of gutter guards. While it might be tempting to go out and install the type you think will work best – how different could they really be, right? – you will still have to install them properly. In the end, you’re much better off letting a professional gutter guard installer do the job for you.
Not only will their installation be much more reliable than your DIY work, but a gutter guard service and installer will 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 when deciding their recommendation.
Here are a few of the things a gutter guard company will consider when recommending the best gutter guards for your home:
Material – Gutter guards can be manufactured with aluminum, plastic, foam or a handful of other materials. Some are made for temporary use and others are built to last as long as your gutters. The construction is a key role in how long gutter guards will last.
Installation method – The type of gutter guards we would recommend for a homeowner to install on their own 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, can destroy your rain gutters if they are not installed correctly.
Appearance – Many gutter guards offer a low profile so they aren’t visible from ground level, while others are very obvious. If that is an important requirement, you will be limited on the style of gutter guard you can have, and limited even more by the style of gutters you have. If it is important for you to have low profile gutter guards installed, it may be necessary to install new gutters as well.
Warranty – Many gutter guard styles will come with a shorter warranty, however most of the aluminum models are guaranteed for 10-20 years. By hiring a licensed gutter guard installer in Rogers (rather than doing it on your own), you won’t void your warranty. Gutter guards should not lift your shingles, nor should their installation void your roof’s warranty.
Another great thing by having Rogers Gutters Inc. install your new gutter guards is that we’ll return and repair them for FREE if there is an issue due to the installation from our team.
Your budget is, of course, the final factor in determining which 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.
