NEED GUTTER GUARDS?
What are Gutter Guards?
Rain gutters are fairly basic and low cost considering the purpose they serve: protecting much more valuable parts of your house. Gutters keep rain off the siding, windows, porch, deck and basement, directing it discreetly away from your foundation.
Therefore, anything that protects your gutters and helps them function even more efficiently is a good investment too.
Gutter guards are a low cost feature you can install on almost any type of gutters, and they work as a protective barrier for your gutters so large debris and animals aren’t able to get inside of them. Buying gutter guards can be a money-saving decision that you’ll be rewarded for for many years.
There are several types of gutter guard. The style you install will depend on your budget and the type of 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 cost themselves. But in the long run, you’re going to save a lot of time and money installing them. Here are a few of the reasons we encourage you to install gutter guards on your roof:
Improve Drainage by Preventing Clogs – Gutter guards help keep debris out of your gutters. Otherwise big pieces settle in the gutter first, then smaller pieces of debris collect around them. Of all the different gutter guard models, all of them stop 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 because it isn’t blocked by any debris. Rain is one of the main reasons for mold and mildew to grow, therefore moving the water faster through the gutters limits the amount of time rain is sitting still, 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 struggle. Every style of gutter guard stops pests from crafting nests within the gutter. A lot of homeowners decide to install gutter guards for this reason alone.
Gutter Cleaning Less Often – Gutter guards must be removed to clean the gutters, but if they are installed, this job doesn’t have to be done as regularly. Leaf guards cut down the frequency in which you need to clean gutters – or have someone to do it for you – so that you might only need to have them cleaned only once a year.
Protection From Fires – A common way fires spread to homes is when embers fall into gutters where there is dry debris. This debris fuels the fire until it becomes too large and damages the roof, and then the entire 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 temperatures, snow and ice, you’ll be interested to know that gutter guards help prevent snow and ice from staying up on your roof. Their designs redirect melting snow and ice to get it off your roof much faster.
These are all problems that impact hundreds of thousands of homes every year. Gutter guards protect an important system that protects the rest of the house. If you haven’t considered installing them before, it might be time to think about it.

Professional Gutter Guard Installation
As you can see, there are several benefits of gutter guards. While it may be tempting to run out and purchase the type you think will work best – how much different could they really be, right? – you still have to install them properly. All things considered, you’re much better off having a professional gutter guard installation company do the job for you.
Not only will their installation be much more reliable than DIY work, but a professional gutter guard service and installer is going to be able to recommend the best type of gutter for your home in the first place. They know all of the options, and they will consider each factor when making their recommendation.
Here are a few of the factors a gutter guard installer will think about 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 made for temporary usage and some are designed to last just as long as your gutters will. The material 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 do not 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’re not installed correctly.
Appearance – A lot of 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 condition, you are limited on the type of gutter guard you can have, 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 to install new gutters too.
Warranty – Some gutter guard styles will come with a shorter manufacturer’s warranty, but most of the aluminum types are guaranteed for at least 10-20 years. By having a licensed gutter guard installer in Springdale (rather than doing it on your own), you won’t void your warranty. Gutter guards should never lift your shingles, nor should their installation void your roof’s warranty.
Another great thing by having Springdale Gutter Service install your gutter guards is that we’ll come back and fix them free of charge if there is any issue due to the installation.
Your budget is, of course, the last factor in choosing which gutter guards you will have installed. We provide a wide range of options for every budget, and will provide the benefits listed above, to one degree or another.
