What are Gutter Guards?
Rain gutters are simple and affordable considering the purpose they serve: protecting much more valuable parts of your home. Gutters keep rain water off the siding, windows, porch, deck and basement, directing it away from your home.
That means, anything that protects your gutters and helps them function more efficiently is a smart investment as well.
Gutter guards are an inexpensive feature you can add to almost any type of gutters, and they serve as a protective screen for your gutters so debris and pests can’t get inside of them. Purchasing leaf guards can be a money-saving measure that you’ll thank yourself for year after year.
There are a lot of styles of gutter guard. The style you choose to install depends on your budget and the type of 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 themselves. In the long run, you will save a lot of time and money by installing them. Here are a few of the reasons we encourage you to install gutter guards on your home:
Improve Drainage by Preventing Clogs – Gutter guards help keep most debris out of your gutters. Otherwise big pieces settle in the gutter first, then smaller pieces of debris collect around them. Of all the different gutter guard models, all of them block larger leaves and pieces of debris from becoming stuck to begin with.
Reduce Mold & Mildew Growth – Gutter guards allow water to flow through the gutters quickly since it isn’t blocked by any large debris or leaves. Rain is one of the main reasons for mold and mildew to grow, so moving the water faster through the gutters reduces 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 gutters and off the roof is often an endless struggle. Every type of gutter guard prevents animals from crafting nests within the gutter. Some homeowners choose to install gutter guards for no other reason than this.
Gutter Cleaning Less Often – Gutter guards must be removed in order 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 need to clean out the gutters – or hire a professional to do the work for you – so that you may only need to have them cleaned out once each year.
Protection From Fires – A common way fires spread to homes is when embers fall into 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 standard gutter guard installation can protect your home from the risk of fire.
Prevent Ice Dams – If you happen to live in an area that gets below-freezing temperatures, snow and sleet, you’ll be interested to know that gutter guards help prevent snow and ice from staying up on your roof. Their unique designs purposefully redirect melting ice and snow to get it off your roof much faster.
These are all issues that affect hundreds of thousands of American homes each year. Gutter guards protect a vital system that protects the rest of your home. If you haven’t considered installing them before, it could 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 install the type you think will work best – how much different could they really be, right? – you still have to install them properly. All things considered, you’re much better off having a professional gutter guard installer do the project for you.
Not only will professional installation be much more reliable than DIY work, but a 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 carefully when deciding their recommendation.
Here are a few of the factors a gutter guard installer will think about when deciding the best gutter guards for your home:
Material – Gutter guards are made of aluminum, plastic, foam or a handful of different materials. Some gutter guards are made for temporary use while others are built to last just as long as your gutters will. The construction is a key factor in how long the gutter guards will last.
Installation method – The type of gutter guards we would encourage 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, could destroy your gutters if they are not installed correctly.
Appearance – A lot of gutter guards offer a low profile so they cannot be seen from ground level, while others are very obvious. If this is an important condition, you will be limited on the type of gutter guard you can have, and limited even more by the style of gutters you have on your roof. If it is important for you to have “invisible” gutter guards installed, it may be necessary for you to install new gutters too.
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 hiring a licensed gutter guard installer in Toms River (instead of 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 TruClean Toms River Gutters install your new gutter guards is that we’ll come back and fix them for FREE if there is any issue due to the installation from our team.
Your budget is, of course, the last factor in determining 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.
