What are Gutter Guards?
Gutters are fairly basic and inexpensive considering how important they are: protecting much more valuable areas of your home. Gutters keep rain off the siding, windows, patio, deck and basement, routing it away from your home.
That means, anything that protects your gutters from damage and helps them work more efficiently is a smart investment too.
Gutter guards are an affordable product you can install on any type of gutters, and they serve as a protective shield for your gutters so debris and pests aren’t able to get inside of them. Purchasing gutter screens can be a money-saving measure that you’ll happy with for many years.
There are a lot of types of gutter guard. The style you choose to install depends on your available budget and the type of gutters you have. Gutter guards are made of aluminum, nylon or plastic.

Benefits of Gutter Guards
On average, gutter guards will cost about as much per linear foot as the gutters cost themselves. In the long run, you will save time and money by 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 help keep leaves and debris out of your gutters. Otherwise large pieces settle in the gutter first, then small pieces collect around them. Of all the different gutter guard styles, all of them block these larger leaves and pieces of debris from becoming stuck to begin with.
Reduce Mold & Mildew Growth – Gutter guards allow water to flow through the gutters quickly since it isn’t blocked by any large debris or leaves. Water is one of the major causes of mold and mildew to grow, therefore moving the water faster through the gutters reduces the amount of time rain spends 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 can be an endless battle. Every style of gutter guard stops animals from building nests within 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 doesn’t have to be done as regularly. Leaf guards reduce the frequency that you need to clean out the gutters – or have someone to do it 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 inside of gutters that have dry debris in them. This debris fuels the fire until it grows and damages the roof, followed by the rest of the home. 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 help stop snow and ice from staying up on your roof. Their unique designs purposefully redirect melting snow and ice to get it off your roof faster.
These are all problems that impact hundreds of thousands of homes each year. Gutter guards protect an important system that protects the rest of your 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 several benefits of gutter guards. While it might be tempting to run out and install the type you think will be the best – how different could they be, right? – you still have to install them correctly. All things considered, you’re much better off having a professional gutter guard installer do the project for you.
Not only will their installation be a lot more reliable than DIY work, but a gutter guard service and installer should be able to suggest the best type of gutter for your house in the first place. They know all of the choices, and they will consider each factor carefully when deciding their recommendation.
Here are a few of the factors a gutter guard service will consider when recommending 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 some 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 type of gutter guards we would encourage for a homeowner to install themselves is the drop in type that do not require fastening to the gutters. However, these are not as dependable. Installing other types, including snap-in and screw-on gutter guards, might damage 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 visible. If that is an important requirement, you are limited on the style of gutter guard you can install, and limited even more by the type of gutters you have on your roof. If it is very important for you to have low profile gutter guards installed, it may be necessary to install new gutters.
Warranty – Most gutter guard styles will come with a shorter warranty, but most of the aluminum models are guaranteed for at least 10-20 years. By having a licensed gutter guard installer in Castle Rock (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 Castle Rock Gutters install your new gutter guards is that we’ll come back and repair them free of charge if there is any issue related to the installation from our team.
Your budget is, of course, the final factor in deciding which 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.
