NEED GUTTER GUARDS?
What are Gutter Guards?
Rain gutters are fairly simple and affordable considering the purpose they serve: protecting much more valuable areas of your house. Gutters help keep rain water off the wood or siding, windows, porch, deck and basement, routing it discreetly away from your home.
That means, anything that protects your gutters and helps them function more efficiently is a good investment as well.
Gutter guards are an affordable product you can install on almost any style of gutters, and they work as a protective barrier for your gutters so large debris and pests can’t get inside of them. Installing leaf guards can be a money-saving measure that you’ll happy with for many years.
There are many styles of gutter guard. The style you install depends on your budget and the type of rain gutters you have on your home. Gutter guards are made of aluminum, nylon or plastic.

Benefits of Gutter Guards
Typically, gutter guards cost about 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 encourage you to install gutter guards on your roof:
Improve Drainage by Preventing Clogs – Gutter guards help keep debris out of your gutters. Otherwise big pieces settle in the gutter first, then smaller pieces collect around them. Of all the different gutter guard styles, all of them stop larger leaves and pieces of debris from getting stuck to begin with.
Reduce Mold & Mildew Growth – Gutter guards help water to flow through the gutters quickly since it isn’t blocked by large debris. Rain is one of the main reasons for mold and mildew to grow, so moving the water faster through the gutters reduces the time rain remains sitting still, possibly leading to mold and mildew.
Prevent Pests from Nesting – Keeping squirrels, chipmunks, birds and insects out of rain gutters and off the roof can be an endless battle. Every model of gutter guard prevents animals from crafting nests inside of the gutter. Many homeowners choose to install gutter guards for no other reason than this.
Gutter Cleaning Less Often – Gutter guards have to be removed to clean the gutters, but if they are present, this job won’t have to be done nearly as frequently. Leaf guards cut down the frequency that you have to clean gutters – or or hire a company to do the work for you – so that you might only have to have them cleaned only once each year.
Protection From Fires – A typical way fires spread to homes is if embers fall into gutters that have dry debris in them. This debris fuels the fire until it grows and damages the roof, and then the rest of the home. A simple 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 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 home. 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 many benefits of gutter guards. While it might be tempting to go out and buy the type you think will be the best – how much different could they really be, right? – you will still have to install them correctly. All things considered, you’re much better off letting a professional gutter guard installer do the job for you.
Not only will professional installation be more reliable than DIY work, but a professional gutter guard service and installer should be able to suggest the best type of gutter for your house in the first place. They are familiar with all of the options, and they will consider each factor when making their recommendation.
Here are a few of the things a gutter guard service will consider when recommending the best gutter guards for your home:
Material – Gutter guards are made of aluminum, plastic, foam or a handful of different materials. Some are made for temporary usage and others are designed to last just as long as your gutters. The construction plays a key factor in how long gutter guards will last.
Installation method – The only type of gutter guards we would suggest for a homeowner to install themselves 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, can destroy your gutters if they are not installed correctly.
Appearance – Some gutter guards boast 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 type of gutter guard you can have, and limited even more by the type of gutters you have on your home. If it is very important for you to have low profile gutter guards installed, it might be necessary to install new gutters too.
Warranty – Some gutter guard styles will come with a shorter warranty, however most of the aluminum types are guaranteed to last for 10-20 years. By hiring a licensed gutter guard installation company in Centreville (rather than doing it yourself), 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 Classic Centreville Gutters install your new gutter guards is that we’ll return and repair them free of charge if there is an issue due to the installation from our team.
Your budget is, of course, the final factor in deciding the gutter guards you will have installed. We provide a range of options for every budget, and will provide the benefits listed above, to one degree or another.
