NEED GUTTER GUARDS?
What are Gutter Guards?
Rain gutters are basic and inexpensive considering how important they are: protecting more valuable parts of your house. Gutters keep rain water off the siding, windows, patio, deck and basement, directing it discreetly away from your house.
Therefore, 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 add to any style of gutters, and they work as a protective screen for your gutters so debris and animals aren’t able to get inside of them. Buying leaf guards can be a money-saving choice that you’ll thank yourself for many years.
There are a lot of types of gutter guard. The style you choose to install depends on your available budget and the type of gutters you have on your home. Gutter guards are made of aluminum, nylon or plastic.

Benefits of Gutter Guards
Typically, gutter guards cost about as much per linear foot as the gutters themselves. In the long run, you will save time and money installing them. Here are a few of the reasons we think you should install gutter guards on your house:
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 small pieces of debris collect around them. Of all the many gutter guard styles, all of them stop these 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 faster because it isn’t blocked by any large debris. Rain is one of the main causes of mold and mildew growth, therefore moving the water faster through the gutters limits 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 gutters and off the roof can be a constant battle. Every style of gutter guard stops pests from building nests within the gutter. Some homeowners choose to install gutter guards for no other reason than this.
Gutter Cleaning Less Often – Gutter guards have to be removed in order to clean the gutters, but if they are present, this job won’t have to be done nearly as frequently. Leaf guards can cut down the frequency that you need to clean out the gutters – or have someone to do the work for you – so that you may only need to have them cleaned only once a year.
Protection From Fires – A typical way fires spread to homes is if embers fall into gutters where there is dry debris. This debris fuels the fire 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 happen to live in an area that gets frequent below-freezing temperatures, snow and sleet, you’ll be happy to know that gutter guards help stop snow and ice from staying up on your roof. Their designs redirect melting ice and snow to get it off your roof much faster.
These are all problems that affect hundreds of thousands of American homes each year. Gutter guards protect an important system that protects the rest of the home. If you haven’t considered installing them before, it might be time to think about it.

Professional Gutter Guard Installation
As you can see, there are several benefits of gutter guards. While it might 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. All things considered, you’re much better off having a professional gutter guard installer do the job for you.
Not only will professional installation be a lot more reliable than 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 know all of the styles, and they will consider each factor carefully when deciding their recommendation.
Here are a few of the factors a gutter guard installer will consider when deciding the best 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 made for temporary usage while some are built 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 encourage for a homeowner to install on their own is the drop in type that do not require fastening to the gutters. However, these are not as dependable. Installing other types, including snap-in and screw-on gutter guards, can damage your gutters if they are not installed correctly.
Appearance – Many gutter guards offer a low profile so they aren’t visible from ground level, while some styles are visible. If this is an important requirement, you are limited on the type 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 might be necessary for you to install new gutters.
Warranty – Some gutter guard styles will come with a shorter warranty, but most of the aluminum types are guaranteed for at least 10-20 years. By hiring a licensed gutter guard installation company in Murfreesboro (rather than doing it on your own), 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 Murfreesboro Gutters install your gutter guards is that we’ll return and fix them for FREE if there is an issue due to the installation.
Your budget is, of course, the last factor in deciding which gutter guards you will have installed. We offer a range of options for all budgets, and will provide the benefits listed above, to one degree or another.
