What are Gutter Guards?
Rain gutters are fairly simple and low cost considering how important they are: protecting more valuable areas of your home. Gutters keep rain water off the siding, windows, patio, deck and basement, directing it away from your home.
Therefore, anything that can protect your gutters and helps them function even more efficiently is a great investment as well.
Gutter guards are an affordable feature you can add to almost any style of gutters, and they function as a protective shield for your gutters so debris and pests won’t get inside of them. Installing gutter guards can be a money-saving decision that you’ll thank yourself for year after year.
There are many types of gutter guard. The style you choose to install depends on your budget and the type of gutters you have. Gutter guards are made of either aluminum, nylon or plastic.

Benefits of Gutter Guards
Typically, gutter guards will 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 by installing them. Here are some of the reasons we think you should install gutter guards on your house:
Improve Drainage by Preventing Clogs – Gutter guards keep most debris out of your gutters. Otherwise large pieces settle in the gutter first, then smaller pieces of debris collect around them. Of all the many gutter guard styles, all of them stop larger leaves and pieces of debris from getting stuck to start with.
Reduce Mold & Mildew Growth – Gutter guards help water to stream through the gutters faster because it isn’t blocked by large debris. Rain is one of the primary causes of mold and mildew to grow, so moving the water faster through the gutters limits the time rain remains 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 can be an endless battle. Every type of gutter guard prevents animals from crafting nests inside of the gutter. Some homeowners decide to install gutter guards just for this reason.
Gutter Cleaning Less Often – Gutter guards need to be removed in order 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 in which you have to clean out the gutters – or have someone to do it for you – so that you may only have to have them cleaned only once a year.
Protection From Fires – A typical way fires spread to homes is when embers fall inside of gutters where there is dry debris. This debris fuels the fire until it grows and damages the roof, followed by the entire home. A basic gutter guard installation can protect your home from this fire risk.
Prevent Ice Dams – If you happen to live in an area that gets frequent below-freezing temps, snow and ice, you’ll be happy to know that gutter guards can 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 American homes each year. Gutter guards protect an important system that protects the rest of your house. If you’ve never considered installing them before, it could be time to think about it.

Professional Gutter Guard Installation
As you can see, there are a lot of benefits of gutter guards. While it might be tempting to go out and buy the type you think will be the best – how different could they really 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 project for you.
Not only will their installation be a lot more reliable than DIY work, but a professional gutter guard service and installer is going to 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 in detail when making their recommendation.
Here are some of the factors a gutter guard installer will consider when choosing the perfect gutter guards for your home:
Material – Gutter guards can be made of aluminum, plastic, foam or a handful of different materials. Some gutter guards are designed for temporary use and some are built to last as long as your gutters will. The construction is a key role in how long the 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 kind that don’t require any fastening to the gutters. Installing other types, including snap-in and screw-on gutter guards, might damage your gutters if they’re not installed correctly.
Appearance – Some 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 will be limited on the type of gutter guard you can install, and limited even more by the type of gutters you have on your roof. If it is very important for you to have “invisible” gutter guards installed, it may be necessary to install new gutters.
Warranty – A lot of gutter guard styles will come with a short manufacturer’s warranty, however most of the aluminum models are guaranteed for at least 10-20 years. By having a licensed gutter guard installation company in Kokomo (rather than doing it on your own), you won’t void your warranty. Gutter guards should never lift your shingles, nor should their installation void your roof’s warranty.
Another great thing about having Kokomo Gutter Service install your gutter guards is that we’ll return and fix them for FREE if there is any issue related to the installation from our team.
Your budget is, of course, the last factor in determining which gutter guards you will have installed. We provide a wide range of options for all budgets, and will provide the benefits listed above, to one degree or another.
