Gutters are fairly basic and low cost considering how important they are: protecting more valuable parts of your home. Gutters keep rain off the siding, windows, porch, deck and basement, directing it discreetly away from your foundation.
Therefore, anything that protects your gutters and helps them function more efficiently is a great investment too.
Gutter guards are an inexpensive feature you can install on any style of gutters, and they serve as a protective shield for your gutters so debris and pests can’t get inside of them. Installing gutter screens can be a money-saving measure that you’ll happy with for year after year.
There are a lot of types of gutter guard. The style you choose to install depends on your available budget and the type of gutters you have. Gutter guards are made of aluminum, nylon or plastic.

On average, gutter guards will cost about as much per linear foot as the gutters cost themselves. In the long run, you will save time and money by 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 help keep leaves and debris out of your gutters. Otherwise big pieces of debris settle in the gutter first, then smaller pieces of debris collect around them. Of all the many gutter guard styles, all of them prevent these larger pieces of debris from getting stuck to begin with.
Reduce Mold & Mildew Growth – Gutter guards help water to stream through the gutters faster since it is unhindered by any large debris or leaves. Water is one of the main reasons for mold and mildew to grow, so moving the water faster through the gutters limits 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 an endless struggle. Every type of gutter guard prevents pests from crafting nests within the gutter. Some 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 regularly. Leaf guards reduce the frequency in which you have to clean out the gutters – or have someone to do it for you – so that you may only have to have them cleaned out once a year.
Protection From Fires – A typical way fires spread to homes is if embers fall inside of gutters that have dry debris in them. This debris fuels the fire until it becomes too large and damages the roof, and then the entire home. A simple 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 below-freezing temps, snow and ice, you’ll be interested to know that gutter guards can 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 affect hundreds of thousands of American homes every year. Gutter guards protect an important system that protects the rest of the home. If you haven’t thought about installing them before, it might be time to think about it.
As you can see, there are several benefits of gutter guards. While it might be tempting to go out and install the type you think will be the best – how much different could they be, right? – you still have to install them properly. All things considered, you’re much better off letting a professional gutter guard installer do the job for you.
Not only will their installation be much more reliable than DIY work, but a gutter guard service and installer is going to be able to recommend the best type of gutter system for your home in the first place. They know all of the styles, and they will consider each factor when deciding their recommendation.
Here are a few of the things a gutter guard installer will take into account when deciding the perfect gutter guards for your home:
Material – Gutter guards are manufactured with aluminum, plastic, foam or a handful of other materials. Some gutter guards are made for temporary usage while some are designed to last as long as your gutters will. The construction plays a key factor in how long gutter guards will last.
Installation method – The only style of gutter guards we would encourage for a homeowner to install themselves is the drop in type that do not require fastening to the gutters. Installing the other types, including snap-in and screw-on gutter guards, can damage your gutters if they’re not installed the right way.
Appearance – Many gutter guards boast a low profile so they aren’t visible from ground level, while others are visible. If that 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. If it is very important for you to have “invisible” gutter guards, it may be necessary for you to install new gutters too.
Warranty – Many gutter guard styles will come with a shorter warranty, however most of the aluminum models are guaranteed to last for 10-20 years. By hiring a licensed gutter guard installation company in Noblesville (instead of 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 Noblesville Gutters install your new gutter guards is that we’ll come back and fix them free of charge if there is any issue due to the installation from our team.
Your budget is, of course, the final factor in determining which gutter guards you will have installed. We provide a range of options for all budgets, and will provide the benefits listed above, to one degree or another.
