Keep the Water Flowing
Gutter Guards
By keeping your gutters clear and free of debris, you prevent water from backing up and seeping into your home.
Most people know that a gutter system is important because it collects water from the roof and channels it safely away from your home. But it does more than keep it away from the foundation—a functioning gutter system will also keep water from getting into the roof and under siding where it can cause wood damage.
Over time, gutters get clogged from the buildup of debris; leaves, sticks, and even the occasional baseball. Gutter guards are important to prevent these buildups. They allow water to flow through the gutters while keeping debris out. With gutter guards installed, maintenance is reduced, meaning gutters need to be cleaned less often, and it’s much easier to clean them when needed.

Gutter Guard Types
If you’re considering whether gutter inserts are a worthwhile investment for your property, take a look at the benefits of a high-quality gutter guard installation and what it can do for your home:
- Gutter Screen
- Gutter Cover
- Leaf Filter
- Leaf Screen
- Gutter Brush
Inserts
Inserts are the most cost-effective option and the easiest to install by pretty much anyone. They simply drop down into your existing gutter. No installation beyond that, and no skills or tools required. They are typically made out of a foam, wire mesh and have a porous-like quality to them. While they are the cheapest option, they are also the highest maintenance, because they have to be pulled out and cleaned or else they’ll clog with fine debris and lose efficacy.
Screens
Of the three types of gutter guards, screens are the most popular. They cover your existing gutter with a screen that allows water to pass through while blocking debris. Like all gutter guards, screens will need to be removed and cleaned routinely as well. Screens vary in cost and installation expenses.
Toppers
Gutter toppers are the most expensive option but also the most effective and lowest maintenance. They have a curved or dome shape, typically, and provide protection over the top of the gutter. They divert water over and around into a small slit between the gutter and the topper. Most toppers require maintenance like all gutter guards.
Is the Cost of Gutter Guards Worth It?
This may seem like a big investment initially, but it can save you money by removing the necessity for professional cleaning and can help prevent water damage, which often results in expensive roof repairs or gutter repairs.
Top 10 Benefits Of Gutter Guard Installations
For the most part, there are three major types: inserts, screens, and toppers. Gutter guards go by many names, including the following:
- Lower maintenance needs: If you don’t have gutter brush guards, we recommend clearing your gutters twice yearly. Gutter toppers eliminate the time-consuming task of clearing gutter debris.
- Prevent roof damage: Gutter screens keep your gutters clean and clear, giving you confidence that they’re operational and actively preventing roof damage.
- Help save money: Preventive maintenance will help you avoid water ingress, which could result in costly roof damage if left unattended. You also save money in the long term since gutter guard screens reduce the need for routine gutter cleaning services.
- Deter ice dams: Ice dams can form when water becomes trapped in your gutters during the winter, resulting in cracked or damaged gutters. Gutter guards can help prevent debris accumulation and deter ice dams from forming.
- Keep you and your loved ones safe: Cleaning gutters involves working at heights and can be dangerous. Gutter guards prevent the need to hire a professional or get up on a ladder and clear your gutters, saving money and keeping you and your loved ones safe.
- Prevent rust and corrosion: Wet leaves and other debris sitting inside your gutters can cause their channels and drains to corrode and rust. A gutter brush guard keeps debris out so your gutters remain rust-free and fully functional.
- Block pest infestations: A gutter guard protects your most valuable investment from infestations. Unguarded gutters are breeding grounds for pests like spiders and mosquitos since they hold stagnant water and moist debris. Additionally, the hiding spaces created by unguarded gutters attract squirrels, mice, bats and other vermin, which can infiltrate your roof’s fascia boards to enter your home.
- Reduce the risk of house fires: Dry debris sitting in your roof’s gutters can also cause complications. Embers from nearby fires can contact the dry debris in your gutters and ignite. Gutter leaf screens prevent this buildup.
- Improve water flow: Water overflow from heavy rainfall could cause water to seep into your roof or your home’s foundation, leading to costly complications. Gutter guards improve water flow to protect your foundation.
- Prolong your gutters’ life span: A professionally installed rain gutter cover will keep your gutters in excellent condition, effortlessly prolonging their life and helping you maintain your home’s aesthetic appeal.

Can you replace just a few pieces of siding?
Yes, you can have a few pieces of siding replaced if it is damaged by a falling branch. However, most siding experts say to avoid such replacement jobs unless necessary.
Do you need to remove solar panels before roof replacement?
Talk with your local roofing company to see if their employees will remove and reinstall your solar panels. Some contractors are happy to perform this task for an added fee, especially since most mounting systems for solar panel systems are straightforward.
How do you know if your siding needs to be replaced?
Your siding will show signs of wear when it is time to be replaced. Here are signs your siding needs to be replaced:
- Cracked, warped, or rotting siding
- Blistered or bubbling siding
- Siding covered with fungus, mold, or mildew
- Faded siding
- High energy bills
How do you know when it’s time to replace a roof?
A leaking roof is one obvious sign that it might be time to replace (or repair) a roof. However, there are additional signs that it might be time to reach out to your local roofing contractor:

How long should my home’s roof last?
A typical roof should last anywhere from 15 to 20 years, but that number can be significantly reduced if the roof isn’t properly maintained. Make sure to keep an eye on your roof for any signs of wear and tear, and address them as soon as possible. Additionally, it’s a good idea to have your roof inspected at least once a year by a professional.
How long will it take to install a new roof?
Most residential roofs can be completed in one day. The time it takes to install a roof depends on the size and complexity of the roof, as well as the weather conditions on the day of the installation.
It’s important to hire a reputable and qualified roofing company to ensure the job is done properly. A new roof is a big investment, so you’ll want to make sure it’s installed correctly and will last for many years.
