What are Gutter Guards?
Rain gutters are basic and low cost considering the purpose they serve: protecting much more valuable parts of your house. Gutters help keep rain water off the wood or siding, windows, porch, deck and basement, routing it discreetly away from your foundation.
That means, anything that protects your gutters and helps them work more efficiently is a smart investment as well.
Gutter guards are an affordable product you can install on any type of gutters, and they function as a protective barrier for gutters so debris and pests won’t get inside of them. Installing gutter screens can be a money-saving measure that you’ll thank yourself for year after year.
There are a lot of types of gutter guard. The type 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 will cost around as much per linear foot as the gutters themselves. In the long run, you will save a lot of time and money installing them. Here are a few of the reasons we recommend to install gutter guards on your house:
Improve Drainage by Preventing Clogs – Gutter guards keep most debris out of your gutters. Otherwise big pieces settle in the gutter first, then small pieces of debris collect around them. Of all the different gutter guard models, all of them stop these larger pieces of debris from getting stuck to begin with.
Reduce Mold & Mildew Growth – Gutter guards help water to flow through the gutters faster because it isn’t blocked by any large debris. Rain is one of the main reasons for mold and mildew to grow, so moving the water faster through the gutters reduces the time rain spends sitting still, possibly leading to mold and mildew.
Prevent Pests from Nesting – Keeping squirrels, chipmunks, birds and insects out of rain gutters and off the roof can be a constant struggle. Every type of gutter guard stops pests from crafting nests inside of the gutter. Some homeowners decide to install gutter guards just for this reason.
Gutter Cleaning Less Often – Gutter guards have to be removed to clean the gutters, but when they are present, this project doesn’t have to be done as often. Leaf guards cut down the frequency that you have to clean out the gutters – or hire a professional 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 if embers fall inside of gutters where there is dry debris. This debris gives the fire fuel until it grows and damages the roof, and then the rest of the 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 redirect melting snow and ice to get it off your roof faster.
These are all issues that affect hundreds of thousands of homes every year. Gutter guards protect an important system that protects the rest of your house. If you haven’t considered 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 go out and purchase the type you think will work best – how much different could they be, right? – you still have to install them properly. In the end, you’re much better off having a professional gutter guard installation service do the project for you.
Not only will their installation be more reliable than DIY work, but a local gutter guard service and installer will be able to suggest the best type of gutter system for your home in the first place. They are familiar with all of the options, and they will consider each factor in detail when making their recommendation.
Here are some of the factors a gutter guard company will take into account when choosing 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 made for temporary usage and some are built to last as long as your gutters. The construction is a key role in how long the gutter guards will last.
Installation method – The only style of gutter guards we would suggest for a homeowner to install on their own is the drop in type that do not require any fastening to the gutters. However, these are not as dependable. Installing the other types, including snap-in and screw-on gutter guards, can damage your gutters if they are not installed correctly.
Appearance – Some gutter guards boast a low profile so they cannot be seen 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 style of gutters you have. If it is important for you to have low profile gutter guards installed, it may be necessary for you to install new gutters.
Warranty – Many gutter guard styles will come with a short warranty, but most of the aluminum models are guaranteed for at least 10-20 years. By having a licensed gutter guard installation company in Syracuse (rather than doing it yourself), you won’t void your warranty. Gutter guards should not lift your shingles, nor should the installation void your roof’s warranty.
Another great thing by having Syracuse Gutter Solutions install your new gutter guards is that we’ll return and fix them free of charge if there is any issue due to the installation from our team.
Your budget is, of course, the last factor in determining the 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.
