What are Gutter Guards?
Rain gutters are basic and affordable considering how important they are: protecting much more valuable parts of your house. Gutters help keep rain off the wood or siding, windows, porch, deck and basement, directing it discreetly away from your foundation.
That means, anything that protects your gutters and helps them work even more efficiently is a good investment.
Gutter guards are a low cost product you can install on any type of gutters, and they work as a protective shield for your gutters so large debris and animals won’t get inside of them. Purchasing leaf guards can be a money-saving decision that you’ll happy with for year after year.
There are many types of gutter guard. The type you choose to install will depend 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 will cost about as much per linear foot as the gutters cost themselves. But in the long run, you’re going to save time and money by installing them. Here are a few of the reasons we think you should install gutter guards on your home:
Improve Drainage by Preventing Clogs – Gutter guards keep leaves and most debris out of your gutters. Otherwise large pieces of debris settle in the gutter first, then smaller pieces of debris pile up around them. Of all the different gutter guard styles, all of them prevent larger leaves and pieces of debris from getting stuck to start with.
Reduce Mold & Mildew Growth – Gutter guards help water to stream through the gutters faster because it isn’t blocked by large debris. Water is one of the main causes of mold and mildew growth, therefore moving the water faster through the gutters reduces the time rain is 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 can be a constant struggle. Every type of gutter guard prevents animals from crafting nests within the gutter. Many homeowners decide to install gutter guards for no other reason than this.
Gutter Cleaning Less Often – Gutter guards need to be removed to clean the gutters, but when they are installed, this project won’t have to be done nearly as frequently. Leaf guards cut down the frequency that you need to clean out the gutters – or have someone to do the work for you – so that you might only need to have them cleaned out once each 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, followed by the entire home. A standard gutter guard installation can protect your home from the risk of fire.
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 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 a vital system that protects the rest of the house. If you haven’t thought about installing them before, it could be time to think about it.

Professional Gutter Guard Installation
You can see, there are a lot of benefits of gutter guards. While it might be tempting to go out and install the model you think will be the best – how different could they be, right? – you will still have to install them properly. In the end, you’re much better off having a professional gutter guard installation company do the job for you.
Not only will their installation be much more reliable than DIY work, but a gutter guard service and installer will be able to suggest the best type of gutter system for your home in the first place. They know all of the choices, and they will consider each factor carefully when deciding their recommendation.
Here are some of the things a gutter guard installer will consider when recommending the perfect gutter guards for your home:
Material – Gutter guards can be made of aluminum, plastic, foam or a handful of other materials. Some gutter guards are designed for temporary usage and some are designed to last just as long as your gutters will. The material is a key role in how long the gutter guards will last.
Installation method – The type of gutter guards we would encourage for a homeowner to install on their own is the drop in type that don’t require fastening to the gutters. However, these are not as dependable. Installing the other types, including snap-in and screw-on gutter guards, could destroy your rain gutters if they are not installed the right way.
Appearance – Many gutter guards boast a low profile so they aren’t visible from ground level, while others are very obvious. If this is an important requirement, you will be limited on the type of gutter guard you can install, and limited even more by the type of gutters you have on your home. If it is important for you to have low profile gutter guards, it might be necessary to purchase new gutters as well.
Warranty – A lot of gutter guard styles will come with a shorter warranty, however most of the aluminum models are guaranteed to last for 10-20 years. By having a licensed gutter guard installation company in Grand Junction (rather than doing it yourself), 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 Grand Junction Gutters install your gutter guards is that we’ll return and repair them free of charge if there is an issue due to the installation.
Your budget is, of course, the last factor in deciding the gutter guards you will have installed. We offer a wide range of options for every budget, and will provide the benefits listed above, to one degree or another.
