What are Gutter Guards?
Rain gutters are basic and affordable considering the purpose they serve: protecting more valuable parts of your house. Gutters keep rain off the wood or siding, windows, porch, deck and basement, directing it away from your foundation.
That means, anything that protects your gutters from damage and helps them work more efficiently is a smart investment as well.
Gutter guards are an inexpensive feature you can add to almost any type of gutters, and they function as a protective shield for gutters so large debris and animals aren’t able to get inside of them. Installing leaf 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 install will depend on your available budget and the type of gutters you have. Gutter guards are made of either aluminum, nylon or plastic.

Benefits of Gutter Guards
On average, gutter guards cost about 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 think you should install gutter guards on your roof:
Improve Drainage by Preventing Clogs – Gutter guards help keep debris out of your gutters. Otherwise larger pieces settle in the gutter first, then smaller pieces of debris collect around them. Of all the many gutter guard styles, all of them block larger leaves and pieces of debris from getting stuck to begin with.
Reduce Mold & Mildew Growth – Gutter guards allow water to flow through the gutters quickly because it isn’t blocked by any debris or leaves. Rain is one of the main reasons for mold and mildew to grow, therefore moving the water faster through the gutters limits the amount of time rain remains 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 an endless battle. Every model of gutter guard prevents pests from building 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 won’t have to be done as regularly. Leaf guards 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 may only have to have them cleaned only once each year.
Protection From Fires – A common way fires spread to homes is when embers fall into gutters that have dry debris in them. This debris fuels the fire until it grows and damages the roof, and then the entire house. A basic 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 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 faster.
These are all issues 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 thought about installing them before, it could be time to think about it.

Professional Gutter Guard Installation
You can see, there are several benefits of gutter guards. While it may be tempting to run out and install the type you think will be the best – how much different could they be, right? – you will still have to install them properly. Ultimately, you’re much better off having a professional gutter guard installation company do the project for you.
Not only will their installation be a lot more reliable than DIY work, but a local gutter guard service and installer will 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 in detail when making their recommendation.
Here are a few of the factors a gutter guard service will think about when choosing the best gutter guards for your home:
Material – Gutter guards can be manufactured with aluminum, plastic, foam or a handful of other materials. Some are made for temporary usage and some are designed to last as long as your gutters. The material is a key factor in how long gutter guards will last.
Installation method – The only style of gutter guards we would encourage for a homeowner to install on their own is the drop in type that do not require any fastening to the gutters. Installing the other types, including snap-in and screw-on gutter guards, can damage your rain gutters if they are not installed correctly.
Appearance – Many gutter guards offer a low profile so they cannot be seen from ground level, while others are visible. If that is an important condition, you are limited on the type of gutter guard you can install, and limited even more by the style of gutters you have on your roof. If it is important for you to have low profile gutter guards, it might be necessary for you to purchase new gutters too.
Warranty – Most gutter guard styles will come with a shorter manufacturer’s warranty, but most of the aluminum models are guaranteed to last for at least 10-20 years. By having a licensed gutter guard installation company in Quincy (rather than doing it yourself), you won’t void the warranty. Gutter guards should never lift your shingles, nor should the installation void your roof’s warranty.
Another great thing by having Quality Quincy Gutters install your gutter guards is that we’ll return and fix them for FREE if there is any issue due to the installation.
Your budget is, of course, the final factor in determining the gutter guards you will have installed. We offer a wide range of options for every budget, and will provide the benefits listed above, to one degree or another.
