What are Gutter Guards?
Rain gutters are simple and inexpensive considering how important they are: protecting more valuable parts of your home. Gutters help keep rain off the siding, windows, porch, deck and basement, directing it away from your home.
Therefore, anything that protects your gutters and helps them work even more efficiently is a smart investment as well.
Gutter guards are an affordable product you can install on any type of gutters, and they serve as a protective screen for your gutters so large debris and pests can’t get inside of them. Installing leaf guards can be a money-saving decision that you’ll happy with for year after year.
There are many styles of gutter guard. The style you install will depend on your budget and the type of rain gutters you have. Gutter guards are made of either aluminum, nylon or plastic.

Benefits of Gutter Guards
On average, gutter guards cost around 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 recommend 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 settle in the gutter first, then smaller pieces pile up around them. Of all the many gutter guard models, all of them prevent larger pieces of debris from getting stuck to start with.
Reduce Mold & Mildew Growth – Gutter guards help water to flow through the gutters faster because it isn’t blocked by any large debris or leaves. Rain is one of the major causes of mold and mildew to grow, therefore moving the water faster through the gutters reduces the amount of time rain spends 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 is often a constant struggle. Every type of gutter guard prevents animals from crafting nests within 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 can reduce the frequency that you have to clean out the gutters – or or hire a company to do the job for you – so that you may only have to have them cleaned only once each year.
Protection From Fires – A common way fires spread to homes is if embers fall inside of gutters where there is dry debris. This debris fuels the fire until it becomes too large and damages the roof, followed by the entire house. A simple gutter guard installation can protect your home from this fire risk.
Prevent Ice Dams – If you happen to live in an area that gets frequent below-freezing temperatures, snow and ice, you’ll be happy 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 problems that impact hundreds of thousands of homes every year. Gutter guards protect an important 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
As you can see, there are a lot of benefits of gutter guards. While it may be tempting to go out and purchase the model you think will work best – how different could they be, right? – you still have to install them correctly. In the end, you’re much better off having a professional gutter guard installer do the job for you.
Not only will their installation be much more reliable than your DIY work, but a gutter guard service and installer should be able to suggest 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 carefully when making their recommendation.
Here are a few of the factors a gutter guard company will think about when choosing the perfect gutter guards for your home:
Material – Gutter guards can be made of aluminum, plastic, foam or a handful of different materials. Some are designed for temporary usage while others are designed to last as long as your gutters will. The material is a key role in how long gutter guards will last.
Installation method – The style of gutter guards we would encourage for a homeowner to install on their own is the drop in kind that don’t require fastening to the gutters. However, these are not as dependable. Installing the other types, including snap-in and screw-on gutter guards, might damage your gutters if they’re not installed correctly.
Appearance – Many gutter guards boast a low profile so they cannot be seen from ground level, while some styles are visible. If this is an important condition, you are limited on the style of gutter guard you can install, and limited even more by the style of gutters you have. If it is important for you to have “invisible” gutter guards, it might be necessary for you to buy new gutters.
Warranty – Some gutter guard styles will come with a shorter manufacturer’s warranty, however most of the aluminum models are guaranteed for 10-20 years. By hiring a licensed gutter guard installation company in Edina (instead of doing it on your own), you won’t void the warranty. Gutter guards should not lift your shingles, nor should their installation void your roof’s warranty.
Another great thing by having Just Gutters Inc. install your new gutter guards is that we’ll return and repair them free of charge if there is any issue due to the installation.
Your budget is, of course, the last factor in deciding which gutter guards you will have installed. We offer a wide range of options for every budget, and will provide the benefits listed above, to one degree or another.
