NEED GUTTER GUARDS?
What are Gutter Guards?
Gutters are basic and inexpensive considering how important they are: protecting much more valuable parts of your home. Gutters help keep rain water off the wood or siding, windows, porch, deck and basement, directing it discreetly away from your home.
Therefore, anything that can protect your gutters and helps them work more efficiently is a good investment as well.
Gutter guards are an affordable feature you can add to any style of gutters, and they function as a protective screen for your gutters so large debris and pests won’t get inside of them. Purchasing leaf guards can be a money-saving decision that you’ll thank yourself for many years.
There are many types of gutter guard. The type you install will depend on your budget and the type of gutters you have on your home. Gutter guards are made of aluminum, nylon or plastic.

Benefits of Gutter Guards
On average, gutter guards will cost around as much per linear foot as the gutters themselves. But in the long run, you’re going to save time and money by installing them. Here are some of the reasons we recommend to install gutter guards on your home:
Improve Drainage by Preventing Clogs – Gutter guards keep debris out of your gutters. Otherwise large pieces settle in the gutter first, then smaller pieces pile up around them. Of all the different gutter guard models, all of them prevent larger leaves and pieces of debris from becoming stuck to begin with.
Reduce Mold & Mildew Growth – Gutter guards allow water to stream through the gutters faster since it isn’t blocked by any debris or leaves. Rain is one of the primary reasons for mold and mildew growth, so moving the water faster through the gutters limits the 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 can be an endless battle. Every style of gutter guard stops pests from building nests within the gutter. Many homeowners choose to install gutter guards just for this reason.
Gutter Cleaning Less Often – Gutter guards must be removed to clean the gutters, but if they are present, this job doesn’t have to be done as often. Leaf guards can reduce the frequency in which you have to clean out the gutters – or hire a professional to do it for you – so that you might 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 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 live in an area that gets frequent below-freezing temperatures, snow and ice, you’ll be interested to know that gutter guards help prevent snow and ice from staying up on your roof. Their unique designs purposefully redirect melting ice and snow to get it off your roof faster.
These are all problems that affect hundreds of thousands of American homes each year. Gutter guards protect a vital system that protects the rest of your home. If you’ve never considered installing them before, it could be time to think about it.

Professional Gutter Guard Installation
You can see, there are many benefits of gutter guards. While it may be tempting to run out and install the model you think will be the best – how different could they really be, right? – you still have to install them properly. All things considered, you’re much better off having a professional gutter guard installer do the job for you.
Not only will their installation be much more reliable than your DIY work, but a gutter guard service and installer should be able to recommend the best type of gutter system for your home in the first place. They are familiar with all of the options, and they will consider each factor carefully when deciding their recommendation.
Here are some of the things a gutter guard company will take into account when choosing the perfect gutter guards for your home:
Material – Gutter guards can be made of aluminum, plastic, foam or a handful of other materials. Some gutter guards are designed for temporary usage and some are built to last as long as your gutters will. The material plays a key role in how long the gutter guards will last.
Installation method – The style of gutter guards we would recommend for a homeowner to install on their own is the drop in type that don’t require fastening to the gutters. However, these are not as dependable. Installing the other types, including snap-in and screw-on gutter guards, might damage your rain gutters if they are not installed the right way.
Appearance – A lot of gutter guards offer a low profile so they cannot be seen from ground level, while others are very obvious. If this is an important requirement, you will be limited on the style of gutter guard you can have, and limited even more by the type of gutters you have on your roof. If it is very important for you to have low profile gutter guards, it may be necessary for you to purchase new gutters.
Warranty – A lot of gutter guard styles will come with a shorter manufacturer’s warranty, but most of the aluminum models are guaranteed for 10-20 years. By having a licensed gutter guard installation company in Beaver Creek (instead of doing it on your own), you won’t void the warranty. Gutter guards should not lift your shingles, nor should the installation void your roof’s warranty.
Another great thing by having Better Beaver Creek Gutters install your gutter guards is that we’ll come back and fix them free of charge if there is any issue due to the installation.
Your budget is, of course, the last factor in choosing the gutter guards you will have installed. We offer a range of options for every budget, and will provide the benefits listed above, to one degree or another.
