What are Gutter Guards?
Rain gutters are simple and low cost considering the purpose they serve: protecting more valuable areas of your home. Gutters keep rain water off the siding, windows, patio, deck and basement, routing it discreetly away from your house.
Therefore, anything that can protect your gutters from damage and helps them function more efficiently is a smart investment as well.
Gutter guards are a low cost product you can add to any style of gutters, and they serve as a protective screen for your gutters so large debris and pests aren’t able to get inside of them. Installing leaf guards can be a money-saving measure that you’ll happy with for many years.
There are a lot of types of gutter guard. The type you choose to install will depend on your budget and the type of rain gutters you have. 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 cost themselves. But in the long run, you’re going to save time and money installing them. Here are some of the reasons we recommend to install gutter guards on your home:
Improve Drainage by Preventing Clogs – Gutter guards keep most debris out of your gutters. Otherwise big pieces settle in the gutter first, then small pieces pile up around them. Of all the different gutter guard models, all of them prevent these larger pieces of debris from becoming stuck to begin with.
Reduce Mold & Mildew Growth – Gutter guards help water to flow through the gutters faster since it is unhindered by any debris. Rain is one of the primary causes of mold and mildew growth, therefore moving the water faster through the gutters limits the amount of 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 a constant struggle. Every style of gutter guard stops pests from building nests within the gutter. Some homeowners decide to install gutter guards for this reason alone.
Gutter Cleaning Less Often – Gutter guards must be removed to clean the gutters, but when they are present, this job won’t have to be done as often. Leaf guards cut down 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 each year.
Protection From Fires – A typical way fires spread to homes is when embers fall inside of gutters where there is dry debris. This debris gives the fire fuel until it grows and damages the roof, and then 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 help prevent snow and ice from staying up on your roof. Their unique designs redirect melting snow and ice to get it off your roof much faster.
These are all problems that impact 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 considered installing them before, it might be time to think about it.

Professional Gutter Guard Installation
As you can see, there are several benefits of gutter guards. While it might be tempting to run out and purchase the type you think will work best – how much different could they really be, right? – you still have to install them correctly. All things considered, you’re much better off letting a professional gutter guard installation service do the job for you.
Not only will their installation be more reliable than your DIY work, but a professional gutter guard service and installer is going to be able to recommend the best type of gutter system for your house in the first place. They are familiar with all of the options, and they will consider each factor in detail when making their recommendation.
Here are a few of the factors a gutter guard installer will consider when determining the best gutter guards for your home:
Material – Gutter guards are made of aluminum, plastic, foam or a handful of other materials. Some gutter guards are designed for temporary use and some are designed to last as long as your gutters will. The construction is a key factor in how long gutter guards will last.
Installation method – The only style of gutter guards we would suggest for a homeowner to install themselves is the drop in kind that do not require fastening to the gutters. However, these are not as dependable. Installing the other types, including snap-in and screw-on gutter guards, could destroy your gutters if they are not installed the right way.
Appearance – A lot of gutter guards offer a low profile so they cannot be seen from ground level, while some styles are visible. If that is an important condition, you are limited on the type of gutter guard you can install, and limited even more by the type of gutters you have on your home. If it is very important for you to have “invisible” gutter guards, it may be necessary for you to buy new gutters too.
Warranty – Most gutter guard styles will come with a short manufacturer’s warranty, but most of the aluminum models are guaranteed to last for 10-20 years. By hiring a licensed gutter guard installer in Cincinnati (instead of doing it yourself), you won’t void your warranty. Gutter guards should not lift your shingles, nor should the installation void your roof’s warranty.
Another great thing by having CIN Gutter Services install your gutter guards is that we’ll come back and repair them free of charge if there is any issue related to the installation.
Your budget is, of course, the last factor in choosing which 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.
