What are Gutter Guards?
Gutters are fairly basic and affordable considering how important they are: protecting more valuable parts of your home. Gutters keep rain water off the wood or siding, windows, porch, deck and basement, routing it discreetly away from your house.
That means, anything that protects your gutters and helps them function more efficiently is a great investment too.
Gutter guards are an affordable feature you can install on almost any style of gutters, and they serve as a protective screen for your gutters so debris and pests won’t get inside of them. Buying gutter screens can be a money-saving decision that you’ll be rewarded for for many years.
There are many styles of gutter guard. The type you install depends on your available budget and the type of gutters you have on your home. Gutter guards are made of either aluminum, nylon or plastic.

Benefits of Gutter Guards
Typically, gutter guards will cost around as much per linear foot as the gutters cost themselves. In the long run, you will save time and money by installing them. Here are a few of the reasons we recommend 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 styles, 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 is unhindered by any large debris or leaves. Rain is one of the major reasons for mold and mildew growth, therefore moving the water faster through the gutters reduces the amount of time rain spends 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 a constant battle. Every type of gutter guard stops pests from crafting nests within the gutter. A lot of homeowners decide to install gutter guards just for this reason.
Gutter Cleaning Less Often – Gutter guards must be removed to clean the gutters, but when they are installed, this job won’t have to be done nearly as frequently. Leaf guards cut down the frequency in which you have to clean gutters – or or hire a company 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 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, and then the entire house. A simple 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 sleet, you’ll be interested to know that gutter guards help stop snow and ice from staying up on your roof. Their designs purposefully redirect melting snow and ice to get it off your roof much faster.
These are all problems that affect hundreds of thousands of homes each year. Gutter guards protect a vital system that protects the rest of the home. If you haven’t thought about installing them before, it might be time to think about it.

Professional Gutter Guard Installation
As you can see, there are a lot of benefits of gutter guards. While it may be tempting to go out and purchase the model you think will work best – how different could they be, right? – you still have to install them properly. Ultimately, you’re much better off letting a professional gutter guard installer do the project for you.
Not only will their installation be a lot more reliable than your DIY work, but a local 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 in detail when making their recommendation.
Here are some of the things a gutter guard service will take into account when deciding the best gutter guards for your home:
Material – Gutter guards can be manufactured with aluminum, plastic, foam or a handful of other materials. Some gutter guards are designed for temporary usage and some are designed to last just as long as your gutters. The construction plays a key factor in how long gutter guards will last.
Installation method – The type of gutter guards we would suggest for a homeowner to install themselves is the drop in type that do not require fastening to the gutters. However, these are not as dependable. Installing the other types, including snap-in and screw-on gutter guards, can destroy your rain gutters if they are 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 that is an important condition, you are 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 important for you to have low profile gutter guards, it might be necessary to buy new gutters as well.
Warranty – Most gutter guard styles will come with a short manufacturer’s warranty, however most of the aluminum models are guaranteed to last for 10-20 years. By having a licensed gutter guard installer in Revere (instead of doing it yourself), 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 about having Revere Gutters install your gutter guards is that we’ll come back and repair them free of charge if there is an issue related to the installation from our team.
Your budget is, of course, the final factor in determining which gutter guards you will have installed. We offer a range of options for every budget, and will provide the benefits listed above, to one degree or another.
