What are Gutter Guards?
Rain gutters are simple and low cost considering the purpose they serve: protecting much more valuable areas of your home. Gutters help keep rain water off the siding, windows, patio, deck and basement, directing it discreetly away from your foundation.
Therefore, anything that protects your gutters and helps them work more efficiently is a smart investment as well.
Gutter guards are a low cost feature you can install on any type of gutters, and they work as a protective screen for gutters so large debris and animals won’t get inside of them. Installing gutter screens can be a money-saving choice that you’ll happy with for year after year.
There are several types of gutter guard. The style you install will depend on your budget and the type of rain gutters you have. Gutter guards are made of either aluminum, nylon or plastic.

Benefits of Gutter Guards
On average, gutter guards cost about as much per linear foot as the gutters themselves. But in the long run, you’re going to save a lot of time and money installing them. Here are some of the reasons we encourage you to install gutter guards on your home:
Improve Drainage by Preventing Clogs – Gutter guards help keep debris out of your gutters. Otherwise big pieces settle in the gutter first, then small pieces pile up around them. Of all the different gutter guard models, all of them prevent these larger leaves and pieces of debris from becoming stuck to begin with.
Reduce Mold & Mildew Growth – Gutter guards help water to flow through the gutters faster because it is unhindered by any large debris or leaves. Rain is one of the major reasons for mold and mildew growth, so 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 building nests inside of the gutter. Some homeowners choose to install gutter guards just for this reason.
Gutter Cleaning Less Often – Gutter guards must be removed in order to clean the gutters, but if they are installed, this project won’t have to be done nearly as frequently. Leaf guards can cut down the frequency that you have to clean out the gutters – or or hire a company to do it for you – so that you might only need to have them cleaned out once a year.
Protection From Fires – A typical way fires spread to homes is when embers fall inside of gutters that have dry debris in them. This debris fuels the fire until it becomes too large and damages the roof, followed by the entire 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 temps, snow and sleet, you’ll be interested to know that gutter guards help prevent snow and ice from staying up on your roof. Their unique designs purposefully redirect melting ice and snow to get it off your roof much faster.
These are all problems that affect hundreds of thousands of homes every year. Gutter guards protect a vital system that protects the rest of the house. If you’ve never thought about installing them before, it may be time to think about it.

Professional Gutter Guard Installation
You can see, there are several benefits of gutter guards. While it might be tempting to go out and purchase the model you think will be the best – how different could they really be, right? – you will still have to install them correctly. In the end, you’re much better off letting a professional gutter guard installation company 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 recommend the best type of gutter system for your house in the first place. They know all of the options, and they will consider each factor in detail when making their recommendation.
Here are a few of the things a gutter guard service will think about when determining the best 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 usage while others are designed to last just as long as your gutters will. The construction plays 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 themselves is the drop in kind that don’t require fastening to the gutters. However, these are not as dependable. Installing other types, including snap-in and screw-on gutter guards, can damage your gutters if they are not installed correctly.
Appearance – A lot of gutter guards boast a low profile so they aren’t visible from ground level, while others 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 style of gutters you have. If it is important for you to have “invisible” gutter guards, it may be necessary for you to buy new gutters.
Warranty – A lot of gutter guard styles will come with a shorter warranty, but most of the aluminum types are guaranteed to last for at least 10-20 years. By hiring a licensed gutter guard installation company in Haverhill (instead of doing it on your own), you won’t void your warranty. Gutter guards should never lift your shingles, nor should the installation void your roof’s warranty.
Another great thing about having Haverhill Gutters install your gutter guards is that we’ll return and fix them for FREE if there is any issue due to the installation from our team.
Your budget is, of course, the last factor in deciding the gutter guards you will have installed. We offer a range of options for every budget, and will provide the benefits listed above, to one degree or another.
