NEED GUTTER GUARDS?
What are Gutter Guards?
Rain gutters are simple and affordable considering the purpose they serve: protecting much more valuable areas of your house. Gutters keep rain off the siding, windows, porch, deck and basement, directing it discreetly away from your house.
That means, anything that can protect your gutters from damage and helps them work even more efficiently is a smart investment too.
Gutter guards are a low cost feature you can add to any style of gutters, and they serve as a protective barrier for gutters so debris and pests aren’t able to get inside of them. Installing gutter screens can be a money-saving decision that you’ll be rewarded for for many years.
There are many types of gutter guard. The type 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.

Benefits of Gutter Guards
On average, gutter guards will cost about as much per linear foot as the gutters cost themselves. In the long run, you will save a lot of time and money by installing them. Here are some of the reasons we think you should install gutter guards on your home:
Improve Drainage by Preventing Clogs – Gutter guards help keep most debris out of your gutters. Otherwise larger pieces settle in the gutter first, then small pieces pile up around them. Of all the different gutter guard models, all of them block these larger leaves and pieces of debris from getting stuck to begin with.
Reduce Mold & Mildew Growth – Gutter guards help water to stream through the gutters quickly because it is unhindered by any large debris. Rain is one of the major reasons for mold and mildew to grow, therefore moving the water faster through the gutters reduces the amount of time rain remains sitting still, possibly leading to mold and mildew.
Prevent Pests from Nesting – Keeping squirrels, chipmunks, birds and insects out of gutters and off the roof is often a constant struggle. Every model of gutter guard stops pests from building nests inside of the gutter. A lot of homeowners decide to install gutter guards just for this reason.
Gutter Cleaning Less Often – Gutter guards need to be removed to clean the gutters, but if they are installed, this project doesn’t have to be done nearly as frequently. Leaf guards cut down the frequency in which you have to clean out the gutters – or have someone to do the job for you – so that you may only need 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 where there is dry debris. This debris gives the fire fuel until it grows and damages the roof, followed by the entire house. A basic 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 frequent below-freezing temps, snow and sleet, you’ll be happy to know that gutter guards can help stop snow and ice from staying up on your roof. Their designs redirect melting snow and ice 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 an important system that protects the rest of the house. 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 might be tempting to run out and install the type you think will be the best – how different could they really be, right? – you still have to install them properly. In the end, you’re much better off having a professional gutter guard installation company do the job for you.
Not only will professional installation be a lot 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 home in the first place. They are familiar with all of the choices, and they will consider each factor in detail when making their recommendation.
Here are a few of the things a gutter guard service will think about when recommending the perfect gutter guards for your home:
Material – Gutter guards can be manufactured with aluminum, plastic, foam or a handful of different materials. Some gutter guards are made for temporary use while others are built to last just as long as your gutters will. The construction plays a key role in how long gutter guards will last.
Installation method – The only type of gutter guards we would recommend for a homeowner to install on their own 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, could destroy your rain gutters if they are not installed correctly.
Appearance – A lot of gutter guards offer a low profile so they aren’t visible from ground level, while some styles are visible. If that is an important requirement, you are limited on the style 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 might be necessary for you to purchase new gutters as well.
Warranty – Many gutter guard styles will come with a short warranty, however most of the aluminum types are guaranteed to last for at least 10-20 years. By hiring a licensed gutter guard installation company in Roseville (instead of doing it on your own), you won’t void your warranty. Gutter guards should never lift your shingles, nor should the installation void your roof’s warranty.
Another great thing by having Ready Clean 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.
Your budget is, of course, the last factor in choosing which gutter guards you will have installed. We provide a wide range of options for every budget, and will provide the benefits listed above, to one degree or another.
