NEED GUTTER GUARDS?
What are Gutter Guards?
Rain gutters are simple and affordable considering how important they are: protecting much more valuable areas of your home. Gutters keep rain off the siding, windows, patio, deck and basement, routing it discreetly away from your house.
Therefore, anything that can protect your gutters and helps them work more efficiently is a great investment.
Gutter guards are an inexpensive feature you can add to any type of gutters, and they function as a protective screen for your gutters so debris and pests won’t get inside of them. Buying leaf guards can be a money-saving choice that you’ll thank yourself for many years.
There are many types 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. But in the long run, you will save a lot of time and money installing them. Here are a few of the reasons we encourage you to install gutter guards on your roof:
Improve Drainage by Preventing Clogs – Gutter guards keep leaves and debris out of your gutters. Otherwise larger pieces settle in the gutter first, then small pieces collect around them. Of all the different gutter guard styles, all of them prevent these larger leaves and pieces of debris from getting stuck to begin with.
Reduce Mold & Mildew Growth – Gutter guards help water to flow through the gutters quickly because it isn’t blocked by any large debris. Water is one of the major causes of mold and mildew to grow, so moving the water faster through the gutters reduces the amount of time rain is sitting still, possibly leading to mold and mildew.
Prevent Pests from Nesting – Keeping squirrels, chipmunks, birds and insects out of gutters and off the roof is often an endless battle. Every model of gutter guard prevents pests from building nests within the gutter. Many homeowners choose to install gutter guards for this reason alone.
Gutter Cleaning Less Often – Gutter guards need to be removed to clean the gutters, but when they are installed, this project doesn’t have to be done as often. Leaf guards can cut down the frequency that you need to clean out the gutters – or hire a professional to do the job for you – so that you may only have to have them cleaned out once each 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, followed by the entire house. A standard 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 happy to know that gutter guards can help prevent snow and ice from staying up on your roof. Their designs redirect melting snow and ice to get it off your roof much faster.
These are all issues that affect hundreds of thousands of American homes every year. Gutter guards protect an important system that protects the rest of your home. If you haven’t thought about installing them before, it might 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 run out and purchase the type you think will work best – how much different could they be, right? – you still have to install them correctly. In the end, you’re much better off having 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 should be able to suggest the best type of gutter system for your house in the first place. They know all of the options, and they will consider each factor when making their recommendation.
Here are a few of the factors a gutter guard installer will consider when choosing the perfect gutter guards for your home:
Material – Gutter guards can be manufactured with aluminum, plastic, foam or a handful of different materials. Some gutter guards are designed for temporary use and others are designed to last just as long as your gutters. The material is a key role in how long the gutter guards will last.
Installation method – The only type of gutter guards we would suggest for a homeowner to install themselves is the drop in kind that don’t require fastening to the gutters. However, these are not as dependable. Installing other types, including snap-in and screw-on gutter guards, might destroy your rain gutters if they are not installed the right way.
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 condition, you will be limited on the style of gutter guard you can have, and limited even more by the style of gutters you have. If it is important for you to have “invisible” gutter guards, it may be necessary for you to purchase new gutters too.
Warranty – Most gutter guard styles will come with a short warranty, but most of the aluminum types are guaranteed to last for 10-20 years. By hiring a licensed gutter guard installer in Plymouth (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 by having Plymouth Gutters Plus install your new gutter guards is that we’ll return and fix them for FREE if there is an issue related to the installation.
Your budget is, of course, the last factor in deciding the gutter guards you will have installed. We provide a range of options for every budget, and will provide the benefits listed above, to one degree or another.
