NEED GUTTER GUARDS?
What are Gutter Guards?
Rain gutters are fairly basic and inexpensive considering the purpose they serve: protecting much more valuable parts of your home. Gutters help keep rain off the siding, windows, patio, deck and basement, directing it discreetly away from your home.
Therefore, anything that protects your gutters and helps them function even more efficiently is a good investment too.
Gutter guards are a low cost product you can add to any type of gutters, and they serve as a protective shield for gutters so debris and pests aren’t able to get inside of them. Installing gutter guards can be a money-saving decision that you’ll be rewarded for 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 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. But in the long run, you will 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 help keep leaves and debris out of your gutters. Otherwise large pieces settle in the gutter first, then smaller pieces collect around them. Of all the many gutter guard models, all of them prevent larger leaves and pieces of debris from becoming stuck to start with.
Reduce Mold & Mildew Growth – Gutter guards allow water to stream through the gutters quickly because it isn’t blocked by any debris. Rain is one of the primary causes of mold and mildew to grow, therefore moving the water faster through the gutters reduces the amount of time rain remains sitting still, leading to mold and mildew.
Prevent Pests from Nesting – Keeping squirrels, chipmunks, birds and insects out of rain gutters and off the roof is often an endless struggle. Every model of gutter guard stops animals from crafting nests inside of the gutter. Some 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 when they are present, this job won’t have to be done as regularly. Leaf guards can reduce the frequency in which you need to clean out the gutters – or or hire a company to do the work for you – so that you may only need to have them cleaned out once a year.
Protection From Fires – A common way fires spread to homes is if 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 rest of the home. A basic 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 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 much faster.
These are all problems that affect hundreds of thousands of homes every year. Gutter guards protect an important system that protects the rest of the house. If you’ve never thought about installing them before, it may be time to think about it.

Professional Gutter Guard Installation
As you can see, there are several benefits of gutter guards. While it might be tempting to run out and buy the model you think will work best – how different could they be, right? – you will still have to install them correctly. All things considered, you’re much better off letting a professional gutter guard installation service do the job for you.
Not only will their installation be a lot more reliable than DIY work, but a professional gutter guard service and installer should be able to recommend the best type of gutter for your house in the first place. They are familiar with all of the options, and they will consider each factor when making their recommendation.
Here are a few of the factors a gutter guard service will consider when determining the best gutter guards for your home:
Material – Gutter guards are made of aluminum, plastic, foam or a handful of different materials. Some gutter guards are made for temporary use while some are designed to last just as long as your gutters. The construction is a key factor in how long the 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 kind that do not require fastening to the gutters. Installing other types, including snap-in and screw-on gutter guards, could destroy your rain gutters if they’re not installed correctly.
Appearance – Many gutter guards boast a low profile so they cannot be seen from ground level, while some styles are visible. If this is an important condition, you are limited on the type of gutter guard you can have, and limited even more by the type of gutters you have on your roof. If it is important for you to have low profile gutter guards, it may be necessary to purchase new gutters too.
Warranty – Many gutter guard styles will come with a short manufacturer’s warranty, but most of the aluminum models are guaranteed to last for at least 10-20 years. By hiring a licensed gutter guard installer in Arlington (rather than doing it yourself), you won’t void the warranty. Gutter guards should not lift your shingles, nor should their installation void your roof’s warranty.
Another great thing by having AllClean Arlington Gutters install your gutter guards is that we’ll return and fix them for FREE if there is any issue due to the installation.
Your budget is, of course, the final factor in choosing the gutter guards you will have installed. We offer a range of options for all budgets, and will provide the benefits listed above, to one degree or another.
