What are Gutter Guards?
Gutters are simple and inexpensive considering the purpose they serve: protecting more valuable areas of your home. Gutters keep rain off the siding, windows, patio, deck and basement, directing it discreetly away from your house.
That means, anything that can protect your gutters and helps them function even more efficiently is a smart investment too.
Gutter guards are an affordable product you can install on any style of gutters, and they serve as a protective barrier for your gutters so large debris and animals aren’t able to get inside of them. Installing gutter guards can be a money-saving measure that you’ll happy with for many years.
There are a lot of styles of gutter guard. The style you choose to install depends on your available budget and the type of gutters you have. 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 cost themselves. In the long run, you will save a lot of time and money by installing them. Here are some of the reasons we recommend to install gutter guards on your home:
Improve Drainage by Preventing Clogs – Gutter guards keep leaves and debris out of your gutters. Otherwise larger pieces of debris settle in the gutter first, then small pieces collect around them. Of all the different gutter guard models, all of them block larger leaves and pieces of debris from getting stuck to begin with.
Reduce Mold & Mildew Growth – Gutter guards help water to stream through the gutters quickly since it is unhindered by any large debris or leaves. Water is one of the major causes of mold and mildew growth, so 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 is often an endless struggle. Every model of gutter guard prevents animals from crafting nests within the gutter. A lot of homeowners choose to install gutter guards just for this reason.
Gutter Cleaning Less Often – Gutter guards have to be removed to clean the gutters, but if they are present, this project doesn’t have to be done as regularly. Leaf guards cut down the frequency in which you need to clean out the gutters – or hire a professional to do it for you – so that you may only need to have them cleaned out once a year.
Protection From Fires – A common way fires spread to homes is when embers fall inside of gutters where there is dry debris. This debris gives the fire fuel until it becomes too large and damages the roof, followed by the rest of the house. A simple 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 help prevent snow and ice from staying up on your roof. Their designs purposefully redirect melting snow and ice to get it off your roof faster.
These are all problems that impact hundreds of thousands of homes each year. Gutter guards protect a vital system that protects the rest of your house. If you haven’t thought about installing them before, it could be time to think about it.

Professional Gutter Guard Installation
You can see, there are a lot of benefits of gutter guards. While it may be tempting to run out and purchase the type you think will work best – how different could they be, right? – you will still have to install them properly. In the end, you’re much better off letting a professional gutter guard installer do the job for you.
Not only will their installation be much more reliable than your DIY work, but a local gutter guard service and installer is going to be able to recommend the best type of gutter system for your house in the first place. They are familiar with all of the styles, and they will consider each factor in detail when making their recommendation.
Here are a few of the factors a gutter guard installer will take into account when determining the best gutter guards for your home:
Material – Gutter guards can be made of aluminum, plastic, foam or a handful of other materials. Some gutter guards are designed for temporary usage while some are built to last 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 any fastening to the gutters. Installing other types, including snap-in and screw-on gutter guards, can destroy your rain gutters if they’re not installed the right way.
Appearance – A lot of gutter guards boast a low profile so they aren’t visible from ground level, while some styles are visible. If that is an important requirement, you will be limited on the style of gutter guard you can have, and limited even more by the style of gutters you have on your roof. If it is very important for you to have low profile gutter guards, it might be necessary for you to buy new gutters as well.
Warranty – Most gutter guard styles will come with a short warranty, but most of the aluminum models are guaranteed for 10-20 years. By having a licensed gutter guard installation company in Toledo (instead of 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 about having TruClean Toledo Gutters install your new gutter guards is that we’ll return and repair 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 offer a wide range of options for all budgets, and will provide the benefits listed above, to one degree or another.
