What are Gutter Guards?
Rain gutters are simple and low cost considering the purpose they serve: protecting much more valuable parts of your home. Gutters keep rain off the 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 good investment as well.
Gutter guards are an affordable feature you can install on any type of gutters, and they serve as a protective screen for your gutters so large debris and pests won’t get inside of them. Buying gutter screens can be a money-saving choice that you’ll thank yourself for year after year.
There are a lot of styles of gutter guard. The style you install will depend 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. In the long run, you’re going to save time and money 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 keep most debris out of your gutters. Otherwise larger pieces settle in the gutter first, then smaller pieces collect around them. Of all the different gutter guard styles, all of them block larger pieces of debris from getting stuck to begin with.
Reduce Mold & Mildew Growth – Gutter guards allow water to stream through the gutters faster since it is unhindered by any debris or leaves. Rain is one of the major causes of mold and mildew to grow, therefore moving the water faster through the gutters limits the time rain spends sitting still, possibly leading to mold and mildew.
Prevent Pests from Nesting – Keeping squirrels, chipmunks, birds and insects out of your gutters and off the roof is often a constant battle. Every model of gutter guard prevents pests from crafting nests inside of the gutter. A lot of homeowners choose to install gutter guards just for this reason.
Gutter Cleaning Less Often – Gutter guards need to be removed in order to clean the gutters, but if they are installed, this job won’t have to be done as regularly. Leaf guards can cut down the frequency in which you need to clean gutters – or or hire a company to do it for you – so that you may only have to have them cleaned only once a year.
Protection From Fires – A common way fires spread to homes is when embers fall inside of gutters that have dry debris in them. This debris fuels the fire until it becomes too large and damages the roof, followed by the entire home. A simple gutter guard installation can protect your home from this fire risk.
Prevent Ice Dams – If you live in an area that gets below-freezing temps, snow and ice, you’ll be interested to know that gutter guards can help prevent snow and ice from staying up on your roof. Their designs purposefully redirect melting ice and snow to get it off your roof faster.
These are all issues that affect hundreds of thousands of American homes each year. Gutter guards protect a vital system that protects the rest of your house. If you’ve never considered installing them before, it may 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 might be tempting to go out and purchase the type you think will be the best – how much 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 more reliable than your DIY work, but a professional gutter guard service and installer is going to be able to recommend the best type of gutter system for your home in the first place. They are familiar with all of the choices, and they will consider each factor carefully when making their recommendation.
Here are a few of the factors a gutter guard service will think about when recommending the best gutter guards for your home:
Material – Gutter guards can be made of aluminum, plastic, foam or a handful of different materials. Some are designed for temporary usage and others are designed to last just as long as your gutters will. The material plays a key role in how long gutter guards will last.
Installation method – The only type of gutter guards we would encourage for a homeowner to install on their own is the drop in kind that do not require fastening to the gutters. Installing other types, including snap-in and screw-on gutter guards, can damage your gutters if they are 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 very obvious. If this is an important condition, you are limited on the style of gutter guard you can install, and limited even more by the type of gutters you have on your roof. If it is important for you to have “invisible” gutter guards, it may be necessary for you to purchase new gutters as well.
Warranty – Most gutter guard styles will come with a shorter warranty, however most of the aluminum types are guaranteed to last for 10-20 years. By having a licensed gutter guard installation company in Hoboken (rather than doing it yourself), you won’t void the warranty. Gutter guards should not lift your shingles, nor should the installation void your roof’s warranty.
Another great thing by having All Things Gutter install your gutter guards is that we’ll come back and repair them free of charge if there is any issue related to the installation.
Your budget is, of course, the last factor in deciding the 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.
