NEED GUTTER GUARDS?
What are Gutter Guards?
Rain gutters are fairly basic and low cost considering how important they are: protecting more valuable parts of your house. Gutters keep rain water off the wood or siding, windows, porch, deck and basement, routing it discreetly away from your home.
That means, anything that can protect your gutters and helps them work even more efficiently is a smart investment as well.
Gutter guards are a low cost product you can add to almost any style of gutters, and they work as a protective screen for your gutters so debris and pests aren’t able to get inside of them. Installing gutter screens can be a money-saving choice that you’ll thank yourself for many years.
There are several types of gutter guard. The style you 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 will cost about as much per linear foot as the gutters themselves. In the long run, you’re going to save time and money installing them. Here are some of the reasons we encourage you to install gutter guards on your home:
Improve Drainage by Preventing Clogs – Gutter guards keep most debris out of your gutters. Otherwise large pieces of debris settle in the gutter first, then smaller pieces pile up around them. Of all the different gutter guard models, all of them block larger leaves and pieces of debris from becoming stuck to start with.
Reduce Mold & Mildew Growth – Gutter guards help water to flow through the gutters quickly because it isn’t blocked by any debris or leaves. Rain is one of the primary causes of mold and mildew growth, so moving the water faster through the gutters reduces the time rain remains sitting still, leading to mold and mildew.
Prevent Pests from Nesting – Keeping squirrels, chipmunks, birds and insects out of gutters and off the roof is often an endless struggle. Every model of gutter guard stops pests from building nests within the gutter. A lot of homeowners decide 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 installed, this job doesn’t have to be done nearly as frequently. Leaf guards can reduce the frequency in which you have to clean gutters – or or hire a company to do the work for you – so that you might only need to have them cleaned only once a 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 becomes too large and damages the roof, and then 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 below-freezing temperatures, snow and sleet, you’ll be interested to know that gutter guards help prevent snow and ice from staying up on your roof. Their designs purposefully redirect melting ice and snow to get it off your roof much 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 haven’t considered 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 may be tempting to run out and buy the type you think will work best – how different could they really be, right? – you will still have to install them correctly. Ultimately, you’re much better off letting a professional gutter guard installer do the project for you.
Not only will their installation be much more reliable than DIY work, but a local gutter guard service and installer will be able to recommend the best type of gutter for your house in the first place. They know all of the options, and they will consider each factor when making their recommendation.
Here are a few of the things a gutter guard installer will think about when recommending the best gutter guards for your home:
Material – Gutter guards can be made of aluminum, plastic, foam or a handful of different materials. Some are designed for temporary use and some are built to last as long as your gutters. The material plays a key role in how long the gutter guards will last.
Installation method – The only style of gutter guards we would encourage for a homeowner to install on their own is the drop in type that don’t require any fastening to the gutters. Installing the other types, including snap-in and screw-on gutter guards, might damage 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 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 home. If it is important for you to have low profile gutter guards, it might be necessary to buy new gutters.
Warranty – Most gutter guard styles will come with a short warranty, but most of the aluminum models are guaranteed for at least 10-20 years. By hiring a licensed gutter guard installation company in Redmond (rather than doing it yourself), you won’t void your warranty. Gutter guards should not lift your shingles, nor should their installation void your roof’s warranty.
Another great thing by having Renew Redmond Gutters install your new gutter guards is that we’ll come back and repair them free of charge if there is an issue related to the installation from our team.
Your budget is, of course, the last factor in deciding 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.
