What are Gutter Guards?
Gutters are fairly basic and low cost considering how important they are: protecting more valuable areas of your house. Gutters help keep rain water off the siding, windows, porch, deck and basement, directing it away from your home.
Therefore, anything that can protect your gutters and helps them work even more efficiently is a smart investment too.
Gutter guards are an inexpensive product you can add to any type of gutters, and they work as a protective barrier for gutters so large debris and pests won’t get inside of them. Installing leaf guards can be a money-saving measure that you’ll be rewarded for for many years.
There are a lot of styles of gutter guard. The style you install depends on your available 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
On average, gutter guards cost about as much per linear foot as the gutters cost themselves. In the long run, you’re going to save time and money installing them. Here are some of the reasons we think you should install gutter guards on your roof:
Improve Drainage by Preventing Clogs – Gutter guards keep debris out of your gutters. Otherwise large pieces settle in the gutter first, then small pieces pile up around them. Of all the many gutter guard styles, all of them prevent these larger pieces of debris from getting stuck to begin with.
Reduce Mold & Mildew Growth – Gutter guards allow water to stream through the gutters quickly since it is unhindered by large debris. Rain is one of the major causes of 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 your gutters and off the roof is often a constant battle. Every type of gutter guard prevents animals from crafting nests inside of the gutter. Some homeowners decide to install gutter guards just for this reason.
Gutter Cleaning Less Often – Gutter guards need to 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 cut down the frequency in which you need to clean out the gutters – or or hire a company to do it for you – so that you may only need to have them cleaned only once each year.
Protection From Fires – A common way fires spread to homes is if embers fall inside of gutters that have dry debris in them. This debris gives the fire fuel until it grows and damages the roof, and then the rest of the house. A basic gutter guard installation can protect your home from the risk of fire.
Prevent Ice Dams – If you live in an area that gets frequent below-freezing temps, snow and sleet, you’ll be interested 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 much faster.
These are all problems that impact hundreds of thousands of American 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 may 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 run out and install the type you think will work best – how much different could they be, right? – you still have to install them correctly. All things considered, you’re much better off letting a professional gutter guard installer do the job for you.
Not only will professional installation be much more reliable than your DIY work, but a professional gutter guard service and installer will be able to suggest the best type of gutter system for your house in the first place. They are familiar with all of the options, and they will consider each factor in detail when deciding their recommendation.
Here are some of the factors a gutter guard service will consider when determining 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 designed for temporary usage while others are designed to last just as long as your gutters will. The material is a key role in how long gutter guards will last.
Installation method – The style of gutter guards we would recommend for a homeowner to install on their own is the drop in kind that don’t require any fastening to the gutters. Installing other types, including snap-in and screw-on gutter guards, could damage your rain gutters if they’re not installed correctly.
Appearance – Some gutter guards offer a low profile so they aren’t visible from ground level, while some styles are very obvious. 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 very important for you to have “invisible” gutter guards, it may be necessary to purchase new gutters.
Warranty – Most 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 Canton (rather than 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 about having Canton Gutters, Inc. install your new 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 offer a wide range of options for all budgets, and will provide the benefits listed above, to one degree or another.
