What are Gutter Guards?
Rain gutters are simple and inexpensive considering the purpose they serve: protecting much more valuable areas of your house. Gutters help keep rain off the siding, windows, porch, deck and basement, directing it discreetly away from your house.
That means, anything that protects your gutters and helps them work even more efficiently is a good investment as well.
Gutter guards are an inexpensive product you can install on almost any style of gutters, and they serve as a protective screen for gutters so large debris and animals aren’t able to get inside of them. Buying 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 type you install depends on your budget and the type of rain gutters you have. Gutter guards are made of aluminum, nylon or plastic.

Benefits of Gutter Guards
Typically, gutter guards will cost about as much per linear foot as the gutters cost themselves. In the long run, you’re going to save time and money installing them. Here are a few of the reasons we encourage you to install gutter guards on your home:
Improve Drainage by Preventing Clogs – Gutter guards keep leaves and most debris out of your gutters. Otherwise big pieces of debris settle in the gutter first, then smaller pieces of debris pile up around them. Of all the different gutter guard styles, all of them block larger pieces of debris from getting stuck to start with.
Reduce Mold & Mildew Growth – Gutter guards help water to stream through the gutters quickly since it isn’t blocked by any debris or leaves. Rain is one of the major reasons for mold and mildew growth, so moving the water faster through the gutters reduces the time rain spends sitting still, possibly 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 style of gutter guard prevents pests from crafting nests within the gutter. Many homeowners decide to install gutter guards for this reason alone.
Gutter Cleaning Less Often – Gutter guards need to be removed to clean the gutters, but if they are installed, this project doesn’t have to be done as regularly. Leaf guards can cut down the frequency in which you have 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 each year.
Protection From Fires – A common way fires spread to homes is when embers fall into gutters where there is dry debris. This debris fuels the fire until it grows and damages the roof, and then the entire home. 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 temps, snow and sleet, 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 snow and ice to get it off your roof faster.
These are all issues that affect hundreds of thousands of American homes every year. Gutter guards protect an important system that protects the rest of your home. If you’ve never thought about 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 may be tempting to run out and install the model you think will be the best – how much different could they be, right? – you still have to install them correctly. Ultimately, you’re much better off having a professional gutter guard installation company do the job for you.
Not only will their installation be a lot more reliable than DIY work, but a gutter guard service and installer is going to be able to suggest the best type of gutter system for your home in the first place. They know all of the choices, and they will consider each factor when making their recommendation.
Here are some of the factors a gutter guard installer will take into account when determining the perfect gutter guards for your home:
Material – Gutter guards are manufactured with aluminum, plastic, foam or a handful of different materials. Some are made for temporary use while some are built 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 recommend for a homeowner to install on their own is the drop in kind that do not require any fastening to the gutters. Installing other types, including snap-in and screw-on gutter guards, could destroy your gutters if they are not installed the right way.
Appearance – Many gutter guards offer a low profile so they cannot be seen from ground level, while some styles are very obvious. If this is an important requirement, 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 important for you to have “invisible” gutter guards, it might be necessary for you to install new gutters as well.
Warranty – A lot of gutter guard styles will come with a short manufacturer’s warranty, but most of the aluminum models are guaranteed for at least 10-20 years. By having a licensed gutter guard installation company in Pine Bluff (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 about having Prime Pine Bluff Gutters install your gutter guards is that we’ll come back and fix them free of charge if there is an issue due to the installation.
Your budget is, of course, the last factor in determining the 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.
