NEED GUTTER GUARDS?
What are Gutter Guards?
Gutters are fairly simple and inexpensive considering the purpose they serve: protecting more valuable areas of your home. Gutters help keep rain water off the siding, windows, patio, deck and basement, routing it away from your home.
That means, anything that protects your gutters and helps them function even more efficiently is a great investment as well.
Gutter guards are a low cost feature you can install on any type of gutters, and they serve as a protective barrier for gutters so large debris and pests can’t get inside of them. Buying gutter screens can be a money-saving decision that you’ll happy with for many years.
There are many types of gutter guard. The type you choose to install will depend on your available 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 cost around as much per linear foot as the gutters themselves. In the long run, you’re going to save a lot of time and money installing them. Here are a few of the reasons we think you should install gutter guards on your home:
Improve Drainage by Preventing Clogs – Gutter guards keep leaves and most debris out of your gutters. Otherwise large pieces settle in the gutter first, then small pieces of debris pile up around them. Of all the many gutter guard models, all of them prevent 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 faster since it is unhindered by any debris or leaves. Rain is one of the primary reasons for mold and mildew growth, therefore moving the water faster through the gutters reduces the amount of time rain is sitting still, 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 struggle. Every type of gutter guard prevents pests from building nests inside of the gutter. A lot of homeowners choose to install gutter guards for no other reason than this.
Gutter Cleaning Less Often – Gutter guards must be removed to clean the gutters, but if they are present, this project won’t have to be done nearly as frequently. Leaf guards reduce the frequency that you have to clean gutters – or or hire a company to do it for you – so that you may only need to have them cleaned only once each 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 gives the fire fuel until it becomes too large and damages the roof, followed by the entire home. 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 ice, you’ll be happy to know that gutter guards help stop snow and ice from staying up on your roof. Their unique designs redirect melting ice and snow to get it off your roof much faster.
These are all issues that impact hundreds of thousands of homes each year. Gutter guards protect an important system that protects the rest of your house. If you’ve never thought about installing them before, it may be time to think about it.

Professional Gutter Guard Installation
You can see, there are many benefits of gutter guards. While it might be tempting to go out and install the type you think will work best – how much different could they really be, right? – you will still have to install them properly. In the end, you’re much better off having a professional gutter guard installation company do the project for you.
Not only will professional installation be more reliable than your DIY work, but a local gutter guard service and installer is going to be able to suggest the best type of gutter for your home in the first place. They are familiar with all of the options, and they will consider each factor in detail when making their recommendation.
Here are some of the factors a gutter guard company will think about when recommending the perfect gutter guards for your home:
Material – Gutter guards are made of aluminum, plastic, foam or a handful of different materials. Some gutter guards are made for temporary use and others are designed to last as long as your gutters will. The material plays a key role in how long gutter guards will last.
Installation method – The style of gutter guards we would suggest for a homeowner to install on their own is the drop in type that do not require fastening to the gutters. Installing other types, including snap-in and screw-on gutter guards, might destroy your rain gutters if they’re not installed correctly.
Appearance – Some gutter guards boast a low profile so they aren’t visible from ground level, while some styles are very obvious. If that is an important condition, you will be limited on the style of gutter guard you can install, and limited even more by the type of gutters you have. If it is very important for you to have “invisible” gutter guards installed, it may be necessary to install new gutters too.
Warranty – A lot of gutter guard styles will come with a shorter manufacturer’s warranty, but most of the aluminum types are guaranteed to last for 10-20 years. By hiring a licensed gutter guard installation company in Vacaville (instead of doing it on your own), you won’t void your warranty. Gutter guards should not lift your shingles, nor should the installation void your roof’s warranty.
Another great thing by having Vacaville Gutters, Inc. install your gutter guards is that we’ll come back and fix them free of charge if there is any issue related to the installation from our team.
Your budget is, of course, the final factor in choosing 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.
