NEED GUTTER GUARDS?
What are Gutter Guards?
Gutters are simple and affordable considering the purpose they serve: protecting much more valuable areas of your home. Gutters help keep rain water off the wood or siding, windows, porch, deck and basement, routing it discreetly away from your house.
Therefore, anything that protects your gutters from damage and helps them function even more efficiently is a smart investment.
Gutter guards are an inexpensive feature you can install on almost any type of gutters, and they work as a protective shield for 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 year after year.
There are several styles of gutter guard. The style you install depends on your budget and the type of gutters you have. Gutter guards are made of either aluminum, nylon or plastic.

Benefits of Gutter Guards
Typically, gutter guards will cost about as much per linear foot as the gutters themselves. But in the long run, you will save time and money by installing them. Here are a few of the reasons we think you should install gutter guards on your house:
Improve Drainage by Preventing Clogs – Gutter guards keep leaves and debris out of your gutters. Otherwise large pieces settle in the gutter first, then smaller pieces of debris pile up around them. Of all the different gutter guard styles, all of them stop larger pieces of debris from getting stuck to start with.
Reduce Mold & Mildew Growth – Gutter guards help water to stream through the gutters quickly because it isn’t blocked by any large debris. Rain is one of the primary reasons for mold and mildew to grow, therefore moving the water faster through the gutters reduces the amount of 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 animals from crafting nests inside of the gutter. Many homeowners decide to install gutter guards for this reason alone.
Gutter Cleaning Less Often – Gutter guards need to be removed in order to clean the gutters, but when they are present, this project won’t have to be done as regularly. Leaf guards can reduce the frequency in which you have to clean gutters – or have someone to do the work for you – so that you may only need to have them cleaned only once each year.
Protection From Fires – A common way fires spread to homes is when embers fall into gutters that have dry debris in them. This debris fuels the fire until it becomes too large and damages the roof, followed by the entire house. 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 temps, snow and ice, you’ll be interested to know that gutter guards can help prevent 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 problems that affect hundreds of thousands of American homes each year. Gutter guards protect a vital system that protects the rest of the home. If you’ve never thought about installing them before, it might 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 much different could they really be, right? – you will still have to install them correctly. All things considered, you’re much better off having a professional gutter guard installer do the project for you.
Not only will their installation be a lot more reliable than your DIY work, but a gutter guard service and installer is going to be able to recommend the best type of gutter for your house in the first place. They know all of the choices, and they will consider each factor carefully when making their recommendation.
Here are some of the things a gutter guard service will consider when deciding the best gutter guards for your home:
Material – Gutter guards are manufactured with aluminum, plastic, foam or a handful of different materials. Some are made for temporary usage and others are built to last just as long as your gutters. The material plays a key factor in how long gutter guards will last.
Installation method – The only type of gutter guards we would recommend for a homeowner to install themselves is the drop in kind that don’t require fastening to the gutters. Installing the other types, including snap-in and screw-on gutter guards, can damage your rain gutters if they’re not installed the right way.
Appearance – Many gutter guards offer a low profile so they aren’t visible from ground level, while others are very obvious. If this is an important requirement, you are limited on the type of gutter guard you can install, and limited even more by the style of gutters you have on your roof. If it is important for you to have low profile gutter guards installed, it may be necessary to purchase new gutters as well.
Warranty – A lot of gutter guard styles will come with a short manufacturer’s warranty, but most of the aluminum types are guaranteed to last for 10-20 years. By having a licensed gutter guard installation company in Kalamazoo (rather than doing it on your own), 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 Quick Clean Gutters install your gutter guards is that we’ll return and repair them free of charge if there is any issue related to the installation.
Your budget is, of course, the final factor in determining 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.
