What are Gutter Guards?
Gutters are simple and inexpensive considering the purpose they serve: protecting much more valuable parts of your home. Gutters help 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 smart investment too.
Gutter guards are a low cost feature you can install on any type of gutters, and they function as a protective barrier for your gutters so debris and pests won’t get inside of them. Installing gutter guards can be a money-saving measure that you’ll happy with for many years.
There are many styles of gutter guard. The style you install will depend on your available budget and the type of rain gutters you have on your home. 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 themselves. In the long run, you’re going to save a lot of time and money by 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 help keep debris out of your gutters. Otherwise larger pieces settle in the gutter first, then small pieces collect around them. Of all the different gutter guard models, all of them prevent these larger leaves and pieces of debris from becoming stuck to start with.
Reduce Mold & Mildew Growth – Gutter guards help water to flow through the gutters quickly because it is unhindered by any debris or leaves. Water is one of the primary causes of mold and mildew to grow, therefore moving the water faster through the gutters limits the time rain is sitting still, possibly 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 style of gutter guard stops animals from crafting nests within the gutter. A lot of homeowners decide to install gutter guards for this reason alone.
Gutter Cleaning Less Often – Gutter guards must be removed to clean the gutters, but when they are present, this project doesn’t have to be done as often. Leaf guards reduce the frequency in which you have to clean gutters – or or hire a company to do the work for you – so that you might only need to have them cleaned only once each year.
Protection From Fires – A common way fires spread to homes is if embers fall into gutters where there is dry debris. This debris gives the fire fuel 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 happen to live in an area that gets frequent below-freezing temperatures, snow and ice, 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 problems that impact hundreds of thousands of American homes each year. Gutter guards protect a vital system that protects the rest of the home. If you’ve never considered 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 may be tempting to run out and buy the type you think will be the best – how different could they really be, right? – you will still have to install them properly. Ultimately, you’re much better off having a professional gutter guard installer 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 suggest the best type of gutter system for your home 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 factors a gutter guard company will consider when deciding 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 made for temporary use and some are built to last as long as your gutters. The construction is a key factor in how long gutter guards will last.
Installation method – The only style of gutter guards we would recommend for a homeowner to install on their own is the drop in type that do not require any fastening to the gutters. Installing other types, including snap-in and screw-on gutter guards, might damage your rain gutters if they are not installed correctly.
Appearance – Some gutter guards offer a low profile so they aren’t visible from ground level, while some styles are visible. 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 important for you to have “invisible” gutter guards installed, it might be necessary for you to buy new gutters as well.
Warranty – Some gutter guard styles will come with a shorter manufacturer’s warranty, but most of the aluminum types are guaranteed to last for at least 10-20 years. By hiring a licensed gutter guard installer in Fishers (rather than doing it yourself), you won’t void the warranty. Gutter guards should never lift your shingles, nor should the installation void your roof’s warranty.
