NEED GUTTER GUARDS?
What are Gutter Guards?
Rain gutters are fairly basic and affordable considering how important they are: protecting more valuable parts of your home. Gutters help keep rain water off the siding, windows, patio, deck and basement, routing it discreetly away from your foundation.
That means, anything that protects your gutters and helps them function more efficiently is a great investment.
Gutter guards are an affordable feature you can add to any type of gutters, and they function as a protective barrier for gutters so large debris and animals won’t get inside of them. Purchasing gutter screens can be a money-saving choice that you’ll happy with for year after year.
There are many styles of gutter guard. The type you install will depend on your budget and the type of gutters you have on your home. Gutter guards are made of either aluminum, nylon or plastic.

Benefits of Gutter Guards
Typically, gutter guards cost around as much per linear foot as the gutters themselves. But in the long run, you’re going to save a lot of time and money installing them. Here are a few of the reasons we think you should install gutter guards on your roof:
Improve Drainage by Preventing Clogs – Gutter guards help keep debris out of your gutters. Otherwise large pieces of debris settle in the gutter first, then small pieces of debris pile up around them. Of all the many gutter guard models, all of them block larger pieces of debris from becoming stuck to begin with.
Reduce Mold & Mildew Growth – Gutter guards allow water to flow through the gutters quickly because it isn’t blocked by any debris or leaves. Water is one of the major causes of mold and mildew to grow, therefore moving the water faster through the gutters limits the amount of time rain spends 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 struggle. Every model of gutter guard prevents animals from crafting nests inside of the gutter. Some homeowners decide to install gutter guards just for this reason.
Gutter Cleaning Less Often – Gutter guards have to be removed to clean the gutters, but if they are present, this job doesn’t have to be done nearly as frequently. Leaf guards cut down the frequency in which you need to clean gutters – or or hire a company to do it for you – so that you may only need to have them cleaned only once each 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, and then the rest of the home. A simple gutter guard installation can protect your home from the risk of fire.
Prevent Ice Dams – If you live in an area that gets frequent below-freezing temps, snow and ice, you’ll be happy to know that gutter guards help prevent snow and ice from staying up on your roof. Their unique designs purposefully redirect melting snow and ice to get it off your roof faster.
These are all problems 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’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 may be tempting to go out and purchase the type you think will work best – how different could they be, right? – you still have to install them properly. In the end, you’re much better off letting a professional gutter guard installer do the job for you.
Not only will professional installation be much more reliable than DIY work, but a local gutter guard service and installer should be able to suggest the best type of gutter system for your house in the first place. They know 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 consider 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 gutter guards are designed for temporary use while others are built to last just as long as your gutters will. The material plays a key role 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 don’t require any fastening to the gutters. Installing the other types, including snap-in and screw-on gutter guards, can destroy your rain gutters if they’re not installed the right way.
Appearance – Some gutter guards offer a low profile so they aren’t visible from ground level, while some styles are visible. If this is an important condition, you will be 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 very important for you to have “invisible” gutter guards installed, it might be necessary for you to install new gutters.
Warranty – Most gutter guard styles will come with a short manufacturer’s warranty, but most of the aluminum types are guaranteed for at least 10-20 years. By having a licensed gutter guard installation company in Woodbury (rather than 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 about having Pristine Clean Gutters install your gutter guards is that we’ll come back and repair them free of charge if there is an issue related to the installation from our team.
Your budget is, of course, the last 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.
