What are Gutter Guards?
Rain gutters are simple and affordable considering the purpose they serve: protecting much more valuable areas of your house. Gutters help keep rain off the wood or siding, windows, patio, deck and basement, routing it away from your foundation.
Therefore, anything that can protect your gutters from damage and helps them function even more efficiently is a good investment as well.
Gutter guards are an inexpensive product you can install on almost any type of gutters, and they serve as a protective screen for gutters so debris and pests can’t get inside of them. Buying leaf guards can be a money-saving choice that you’ll happy with for year after year.
There are a lot of styles of gutter guard. The type you install depends on your 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 themselves. In the long run, you’re going to save time and money by installing them. Here are some of the reasons we encourage you to install gutter guards on your roof:
Improve Drainage by Preventing Clogs – Gutter guards help keep leaves and debris out of your gutters. Otherwise larger pieces settle in the gutter first, then smaller pieces collect around them. Of all the many gutter guard styles, all of them stop larger pieces of debris from getting stuck to begin with.
Reduce Mold & Mildew Growth – Gutter guards help water to stream through the gutters faster because 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 limits the time rain is sitting still, possibly leading to mold and mildew.
Prevent Pests from Nesting – Keeping squirrels, chipmunks, birds and insects out of rain gutters and off the roof can be a constant struggle. Every type of gutter guard prevents animals from crafting nests inside of the gutter. Many homeowners choose 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 present, this project doesn’t have to be done as often. Leaf guards can reduce the frequency in which you have to clean out the gutters – or or hire a company to do it for you – so that you might only need to have them cleaned out once each year.
Protection From Fires – A typical way fires spread to homes is when embers fall inside of gutters that have dry debris in them. This debris gives the fire fuel until it becomes too large and damages the roof, and then the rest of the home. A basic 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 ice, you’ll be happy to know that gutter guards help prevent snow and ice from staying up on your roof. Their designs redirect melting ice and snow to get it off your roof faster.
These are all issues that impact hundreds of thousands of homes every year. Gutter guards protect a vital system that protects the rest of your home. If you haven’t considered installing them before, it could be time to think about it.

Professional Gutter Guard Installation
As you can see, there are many benefits of gutter guards. While it might be tempting to go out and purchase the type you think will be the best – how different could they really be, right? – you will still have to install them properly. In the end, you’re much better off having a professional gutter guard installation company do the job for you.
Not only will their installation be a lot more reliable than DIY work, but a gutter guard service and installer is going to be able to suggest the best type of gutter system for your home in the first place. They know all of the styles, and they will consider each factor carefully when making their recommendation.
Here are a few of the factors a gutter guard company will think about 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 are made for temporary usage while some are designed to last just as long as your gutters. The material plays a key role in how long 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 don’t require fastening to the gutters. Installing the other types, including snap-in and screw-on gutter guards, can destroy your rain gutters if they’re not installed the right way.
Appearance – Some gutter guards boast a low profile so they aren’t visible from ground level, while some styles are visible. If that is an important condition, you will be limited on the style of gutter guard you can install, and limited even more by the type of gutters you have on your home. If it is important for you to have low profile gutter guards installed, it may be necessary to purchase new gutters too.
Warranty – A lot of gutter guard styles will come with a short manufacturer’s warranty, however most of the aluminum types are guaranteed to last for at least 10-20 years. By having a licensed gutter guard installer in Marietta (instead of 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 Marietta Gutters & More! install your new gutter guards is that we’ll return and fix them free of charge if there is any issue due to the installation.
Your budget is, of course, the final factor in deciding which gutter guards you will have installed. We offer a wide range of options for all budgets, and will provide the benefits listed above, to one degree or another.
