NEED GUTTER GUARDS?
What are Gutter Guards?
Rain gutters are simple and inexpensive considering the purpose they serve: protecting much more valuable parts of your home. Gutters help keep rain off the siding, windows, porch, deck and basement, directing it away from your home.
That means, anything that can protect your gutters from damage and helps them work even more efficiently is a smart investment too.
Gutter guards are an inexpensive product you can add to almost any style of gutters, and they function as a protective shield for your gutters so large debris and pests aren’t able to get inside of them. Purchasing gutter guards can be a money-saving measure that you’ll thank yourself for many years.
There are a lot of styles of gutter guard. The type 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 around as much per linear foot as the gutters themselves. In the long run, you’re going to save time and money installing them. Here are a few of the reasons we think you should install gutter guards on your house:
Improve Drainage by Preventing Clogs – Gutter guards help keep most debris out of your gutters. Otherwise larger pieces of debris settle in the gutter first, then small pieces of debris collect around them. Of all the many gutter guard models, all of them block larger leaves and pieces of debris from getting stuck to begin with.
Reduce Mold & Mildew Growth – Gutter guards help water to flow through the gutters faster since it is unhindered by debris or leaves. Water is one of the major reasons for mold and mildew to grow, therefore moving the water faster through the gutters reduces the time rain is 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 can be a constant battle. Every model of gutter guard prevents pests from crafting nests inside of the gutter. Some homeowners choose to install gutter guards for no other reason than this.
Gutter Cleaning Less Often – Gutter guards have to be removed in order to clean the gutters, but when they are present, this job won’t have to be done as regularly. Leaf guards can cut down the frequency that you need to clean out the gutters – or have someone to do the work 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 if embers fall into 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 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 below-freezing temperatures, snow and sleet, you’ll be happy to know that gutter guards help stop 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 impact hundreds of thousands of American homes every year. Gutter guards protect a vital system that protects the rest of the home. If you’ve never thought about installing them before, it could be time to think about it.

Professional Gutter Guard Installation
You can see, there are a lot of benefits of gutter guards. While it may be tempting to run out and install the type you think will be the best – how different could they be, right? – you will 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 professional installation be more reliable than your DIY work, but a local 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 styles, and they will consider each factor when making their recommendation.
Here are some of the factors a gutter guard service will take into account when determining the perfect gutter guards for your home:
Material – Gutter guards can be manufactured with aluminum, plastic, foam or a handful of different materials. Some gutter guards are designed for temporary use while some are designed to last as long as your gutters. The construction is a key factor in how long gutter guards will last.
Installation method – The only style of gutter guards we would encourage for a homeowner to install themselves is the drop in type that do not require any fastening to the gutters. Installing the other types, including snap-in and screw-on gutter guards, can destroy your rain gutters if they are not installed the right way.
Appearance – A lot of gutter guards offer a low profile so they aren’t visible from ground level, while others are very obvious. If that 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 on your home. If it is very important for you to have low profile gutter guards installed, it may be necessary for you to buy new gutters as well.
Warranty – Most gutter guard styles will come with a shorter warranty, but most of the aluminum types are guaranteed to last for 10-20 years. By hiring a licensed gutter guard installer in Clifton (instead of doing it yourself), 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 Clifton Gutter Solutions install your new gutter guards is that we’ll come back and fix 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 choosing 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.
