What are Gutter Guards?
Gutters are basic and low cost considering how important they are: protecting much more valuable parts of your house. Gutters help keep rain water off the wood or siding, windows, patio, deck and basement, directing it away from your home.
That means, anything that can protect your gutters from damage and helps them function even more efficiently is a smart investment as well.
Gutter guards are an affordable feature you can add to almost any style of gutters, and they work as a protective barrier for your gutters so debris and animals can’t get inside of them. Installing leaf guards can be a money-saving decision that you’ll happy with for year after year.
There are many styles of gutter guard. The type you choose to install will depend on your budget and the type of gutters you have on your home. Gutter guards are made of aluminum, nylon or plastic.

Benefits of Gutter Guards
On average, gutter guards will cost around as much per linear foot as the gutters themselves. But in the long run, you will 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 leaves and debris out of your gutters. Otherwise larger pieces of debris settle in the gutter first, then small pieces pile up around them. Of all the many gutter guard models, all of them prevent these larger pieces of debris from getting stuck to start with.
Reduce Mold & Mildew Growth – Gutter guards help water to stream through the gutters faster since it is unhindered by any large debris or leaves. Rain is one of the main causes of mold and mildew growth, therefore moving the water faster through the gutters limits the time rain is 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 struggle. Every type of gutter guard stops animals from crafting nests within the gutter. A lot of homeowners decide to install gutter guards for no other reason than this.
Gutter Cleaning Less Often – Gutter guards must be removed 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 that you need to clean out the gutters – or have someone to do the work for you – so that you might only have to have them cleaned only once a year.
Protection From Fires – A typical way fires spread to homes is if 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 this fire risk.
Prevent Ice Dams – If you happen to live in an area that gets below-freezing temperatures, snow and ice, you’ll be interested to know that gutter guards help stop snow and ice from staying up on your roof. Their designs redirect melting ice and snow to get it off your roof faster.
These are all issues that affect hundreds of thousands of homes every year. Gutter guards protect a vital system that protects the rest of the home. If you haven’t considered installing them before, it could be time to think about it.

Professional Gutter Guard Installation
As you can see, there are several benefits of gutter guards. While it might be tempting to run out and purchase 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 installer do the project for you.
Not only will professional installation be more reliable than DIY work, but a gutter guard service and installer will be able to recommend the best type of gutter for your home in the first place. They know all of the styles, and they will consider each factor carefully when making 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 manufactured with aluminum, plastic, foam or a handful of other materials. Some gutter guards are made for temporary use while others are built to last as long as your gutters. The construction is a key factor in how long the gutter guards will last.
Installation method – The style 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. Installing the other types, including snap-in and screw-on gutter guards, might destroy your rain gutters if they’re not installed the right way.
Appearance – A lot of gutter guards boast a low profile so they cannot be seen from ground level, while some styles are visible. If this is an important condition, you will be limited on the style 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 may be necessary to install new gutters too.
Warranty – Some gutter guard styles will come with a short warranty, however most of the aluminum types are guaranteed for at least 10-20 years. By hiring a licensed gutter guard installer in Redding (instead of doing it on your own), you won’t void the warranty. Gutter guards should not lift your shingles, nor should the installation void your roof’s warranty.
Another great thing by having Redding Gutter Service install your gutter guards is that we’ll return and fix them for FREE if there is an issue due to the installation from our team.
Your budget is, of course, the last factor in deciding which gutter guards you will have installed. We provide a range of options for every budget, and will provide the benefits listed above, to one degree or another.
