NEED GUTTER GUARDS?
What are Gutter Guards?
Gutters are fairly simple and affordable considering the purpose they serve: protecting much more valuable parts of your house. Gutters help keep rain water off the siding, windows, patio, deck and basement, directing it away from your foundation.
That means, anything that protects your gutters and helps them work more efficiently is a good investment.
Gutter guards are a low cost feature you can install on any type of gutters, and they work as a protective barrier for your gutters so debris and pests aren’t able to get inside of them. Installing gutter guards can be a money-saving choice that you’ll be rewarded for for many years.
There are several types of gutter guard. The style you choose to install depends on your available 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 cost themselves. But in the long run, you’re going to save a lot of time and money by installing them. Here are some of the reasons we recommend to install gutter guards on your home:
Improve Drainage by Preventing Clogs – Gutter guards keep most debris out of your gutters. Otherwise large pieces of debris settle in the gutter first, then smaller pieces collect around them. Of all the different gutter guard models, all of them stop larger leaves and pieces of debris from getting stuck to start with.
Reduce Mold & Mildew Growth – Gutter guards help water to stream through the gutters quickly since it is unhindered by debris. Water is one of the primary reasons for mold and mildew to grow, therefore moving the water faster through the gutters reduces the time rain remains 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 type of gutter guard stops pests from crafting nests inside of the gutter. Many homeowners choose to install gutter guards for this reason alone.
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 nearly as frequently. Leaf guards reduce the frequency that you have to clean gutters – or have someone to do it for you – so that you may only need to have them cleaned out once each year.
Protection From Fires – A typical way fires spread to homes is when embers fall into gutters where there is dry debris. This debris gives the fire fuel until it becomes too large and damages the roof, followed by the entire home. A simple gutter guard installation can protect your home from this fire risk.
Prevent Ice Dams – If you live in an area that gets frequent below-freezing temperatures, snow and sleet, you’ll be interested to know that gutter guards can 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 much faster.
These are all issues 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 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 may be tempting to run out and install the type you think will be the best – how much different could they really be, right? – you will still have to install them properly. All things considered, you’re much better off having a professional gutter guard installer do the job for you.
Not only will professional installation be more reliable than DIY work, but a professional gutter guard service and installer will be able to suggest the best type of gutter for your home 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 things a gutter guard company will think about when determining the perfect gutter guards for your home:
Material – Gutter guards are made of aluminum, plastic, foam or a handful of other materials. Some gutter guards are designed for temporary usage and some are designed to last as long as your gutters. The material is a key role in how long gutter guards will last.
Installation method – The only type of gutter guards we would recommend for a homeowner to install on their own is the drop in kind that don’t require fastening to the gutters. Installing the other types, including snap-in and screw-on gutter guards, might damage your rain gutters if they’re not installed correctly.
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 have, and limited even more by the style of gutters you have on your roof. If it is very important for you to have “invisible” gutter guards, it may be necessary for you to purchase new gutters as well.
Warranty – A lot of gutter guard styles will come with a shorter warranty, but most of the aluminum models are guaranteed to last for at least 10-20 years. By having a licensed gutter guard installation company in Cary (instead of doing it on your own), you won’t void the warranty. Gutter guards should never lift your shingles, nor should the installation void your roof’s warranty.
Another great thing by having Cary Gutter Service install your new gutter guards is that we’ll come back and repair them for FREE 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 provide a wide range of options for all budgets, and will provide the benefits listed above, to one degree or another.
