NEED GUTTER GUARDS?
What are Gutter Guards?
Rain gutters are fairly basic and inexpensive considering how important they are: protecting much more valuable parts of your house. Gutters keep rain off the siding, windows, porch, deck and basement, routing it away from your foundation.
Therefore, anything that protects your gutters from damage and helps them function more efficiently is a great investment as well.
Gutter guards are an inexpensive feature you can install on any style of gutters, and they serve as a protective barrier for your gutters so large debris and pests can’t get inside of them. Purchasing gutter screens can be a money-saving measure that you’ll be rewarded for for many years.
There are many styles of gutter guard. The type you choose to install will depend on your available budget and the type of rain 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 cost themselves. In the long run, you’re going to 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 house:
Improve Drainage by Preventing Clogs – Gutter guards help keep 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 many gutter guard styles, all of them stop larger leaves and pieces of debris from becoming stuck to begin with.
Reduce Mold & Mildew Growth – Gutter guards help water to flow through the gutters quickly because it is unhindered by any debris or leaves. Rain is one of the main causes of mold and mildew to grow, therefore moving the water faster through the gutters reduces 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 your gutters and off the roof is often an endless struggle. Every model of gutter guard stops pests from crafting nests within the gutter. A lot of homeowners choose to install gutter guards just for this reason.
Gutter Cleaning Less Often – Gutter guards must be removed in order to clean the gutters, but if they are present, this project doesn’t have to be done as regularly. Leaf guards reduce the frequency in which you have to clean out the gutters – or have someone to do it for you – so that you might only have to have them cleaned out once each year.
Protection From Fires – A common way fires spread to homes is if embers fall into 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 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 temperatures, snow and sleet, you’ll be interested to know that gutter guards can help stop snow and ice from staying up on your roof. Their 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 each year. Gutter guards protect a vital system that protects the rest of the house. If you’ve never considered installing them before, it may be time to think about it.

Professional Gutter Guard Installation
As you can see, there are many benefits of gutter guards. While it may be tempting to run out and purchase the model you think will work best – how different could they be, right? – you still have to install them properly. All things considered, you’re much better off letting a professional gutter guard installation service do the project for you.
Not only will professional installation be more reliable than DIY work, but a professional gutter guard service and installer will be able to suggest the best type of gutter for your home in the first place. They know all of the styles, and they will consider each factor in detail when making their recommendation.
Here are a few of the things a gutter guard company will think about when choosing the best gutter guards for your home:
Material – Gutter guards can be manufactured with aluminum, plastic, foam or a handful of other materials. Some gutter guards are designed for temporary usage and some are designed to last as long as your gutters will. The material is a key role in how long the 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 fastening to the gutters. Installing the other types, including snap-in and screw-on gutter guards, could destroy your rain 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 very obvious. If this is an important condition, you will be limited on the style of gutter guard you can have, and limited even more by the style of gutters you have. If it is very important for you to have low profile gutter guards, it may be necessary for you to install new gutters.
Warranty – Most gutter guard styles will come with a short warranty, but most of the aluminum types are guaranteed to last for 10-20 years. By having a licensed gutter guard installation company in Tacoma (rather than doing it on your own), you won’t void the warranty. Gutter guards should never lift your shingles, nor should their installation void your roof’s warranty.
Another great thing by having TruClean Tacoma Gutters install your new gutter guards is that we’ll come back and repair them free of charge if there is any issue due to the installation from our team.
Your budget is, of course, the last factor in deciding the gutter guards you will have installed. We offer a range of options for all budgets, and will provide the benefits listed above, to one degree or another.
