What are Gutter Guards?
Rain gutters are fairly simple and inexpensive considering the purpose they serve: protecting much more valuable parts of your house. Gutters help keep rain off the wood or siding, windows, patio, deck and basement, routing it discreetly away from your home.
That means, anything that can protect your gutters and helps them work even more efficiently is a great investment as well.
Gutter guards are an inexpensive feature you can install on almost any type of gutters, and they work as a protective shield for your gutters so large debris and animals won’t get inside of them. Installing leaf guards can be a money-saving choice that you’ll be rewarded for for year after year.
There are a lot of styles of gutter guard. The style you choose to install depends on your budget and the type of 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. But in the long run, you will save time and money by installing them. Here are a few of the reasons we encourage you to install gutter guards on your home:
Improve Drainage by Preventing Clogs – Gutter guards help keep leaves and debris out of your gutters. Otherwise larger pieces of debris settle in the gutter first, then smaller pieces of debris pile up around them. Of all the different gutter guard models, all of them block larger pieces of debris from becoming stuck to begin with.
Reduce Mold & Mildew Growth – Gutter guards allow water to stream through the gutters quickly since it is unhindered by large debris. Water is one of the primary reasons for mold and mildew to grow, therefore moving the water faster through the gutters limits the time rain spends sitting still, leading to mold and mildew.
Prevent Pests from Nesting – Keeping squirrels, chipmunks, birds and insects out of gutters and off the roof can be a constant struggle. Every model of gutter guard prevents animals from building nests within the gutter. A lot of homeowners choose to install gutter guards for this reason alone.
Gutter Cleaning Less Often – Gutter guards need to be removed in order to clean the gutters, but when they are present, this job won’t have to be done nearly as frequently. Leaf guards cut down the frequency that you need to clean out the gutters – or have someone to do it for you – so that you may only have to have them cleaned out once a year.
Protection From Fires – A common way fires spread to homes is if embers fall inside of gutters that have dry debris in them. This debris fuels the fire until it grows and damages the roof, and then the rest of the home. A standard gutter guard installation can protect your home from this fire risk.
Prevent Ice Dams – If you live in an area that gets below-freezing temperatures, snow and sleet, you’ll be interested to know that gutter guards can help stop snow and ice from staying up on your roof. Their unique designs redirect melting ice and snow to get it off your roof 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 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 install the model you think will be the best – how different could they be, right? – you will still have to install them correctly. Ultimately, you’re much better off having a professional gutter guard installation company do the project for you.
Not only will their installation be more reliable than your DIY work, but a local gutter guard service and installer will be able to recommend the best type of gutter for your house in the first place. They know all of the options, and they will consider each factor when deciding their recommendation.
Here are some of the factors a gutter guard service will take into account when deciding the perfect gutter guards for your home:
Material – Gutter guards are made of aluminum, plastic, foam or a handful of other materials. Some are made for temporary usage and others are designed to last as long as your gutters will. The construction is a key role in how long gutter guards will last.
Installation method – The only style of gutter guards we would recommend 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, could destroy your rain gutters if they are not installed correctly.
Appearance – Many gutter guards offer a low profile so they cannot be seen from ground level, while others are very obvious. If that is an important requirement, you will be limited on the style of gutter guard you can have, and limited even more by the style of gutters you have on your home. If it is important for you to have low profile gutter guards installed, it might be necessary to purchase new gutters as well.
Warranty – A lot of gutter guard styles will come with a shorter manufacturer’s warranty, but most of the aluminum models are guaranteed for at least 10-20 years. By hiring a licensed gutter guard installer in Arvada (rather than doing it on your own), you won’t void your warranty. Gutter guards should not lift your shingles, nor should their installation void your roof’s warranty.
Another great thing about having PRO Arvada Gutters install your gutter guards is that we’ll return and repair them free of charge if there is an issue due to the installation.
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 every budget, and will provide the benefits listed above, to one degree or another.
