Seven Reasons to Install Gutter Guards on Your Home

Westchester NY Gutter Guard Installation

Is it necessary to install gutter guards on your home?

As with all home maintenance, educating yourself on the pros and cons of whether or not to invest in a particular home improvement is time well spent. The same is true for the question of whether to install gutter guards on your home or now.

Here are seven reasons why you should consider gutter guards a good investment in the care of your home.

01. Pest control

Your gutter is a very appealing potential home for birds and critters. Not allowing them access in the first place also avoids the inevitable standing water that also attracts insects.

02. Preventive care

Though there will likely be some upkeep and maintenance to your gutters over time, it will not be as frequent or as serious if you keep them clean by installing the guards.

03. Home protection

By forcing rainwater to flow over your gutter guards and into the downspouts, you are avoiding potential leaks inside your home and inevitable damage to your foundation.

04. Minimizing the risk of mold and mildew

The natural material that gathers in your gutters, when combined with the rainwater, can harbor mold spores that then overflow to your roof or siding. This is bad for your health and the health of your home.

05. Work with what you have

You most likely will not have to purchase new gutters in the process; rather just have the guards installed on your existing gutters for a nice cost savings.

06. Curb appeal

You can improve your home’s curb appeal with a cleaner, fresher appearance when you prevent material from growing up and out of your gutters.

07. Avoiding a possible fall

The process of cleaning out the gutters can be risky, even dangerous. Falling off an unstable ladder or trying to keep your footing on shingles that are slippery from mold can happen quickly and be devastating. In addition, the exposure to decaying material that has gathered in your gutters is a further health risk.

John O.,Gutter Installation -Westchester
“George was the first contractor to contact me after I sent out notes requesting bids. His response was immediate. I collected 3 other bids which couldn't compete price wise. The next closest bid was over 40% higher. The others were considerably higher. Since George's price was so competitive, I had a lot of questions. George patiently answered them all. When George's crew came out, they were professional and courteous. They first checked-in with George to make sure they fully understood the job and did a great job. When they discovered that design for one downspout was in the wrong place, they suggested a better alternative. After the job was done, they cleaned up as though they were never here!”
