NEED GUTTER GUARDS?
What are Gutter Guards?
Gutters are fairly simple and low cost considering how important they are: protecting more valuable parts of your house. Gutters keep rain water off the wood or siding, windows, patio, deck and basement, directing it discreetly away from your house.
Therefore, anything that can protect 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 work as a protective barrier for gutters so debris and animals won’t get inside of them. Installing gutter screens can be a money-saving measure that you’ll happy with for year after year.
There are several types of gutter guard. The style you choose to install depends on your available 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 about as much per linear foot as the gutters themselves. But in the long run, you will save time and money installing them. Here are some of the reasons we think you should install gutter guards on your roof:
Improve Drainage by Preventing Clogs – Gutter guards keep leaves and most debris out of your gutters. Otherwise large pieces of debris settle in the gutter first, then small pieces of debris collect around them. Of all the different gutter guard models, all of them block larger leaves and pieces of debris from getting stuck to start with.
Reduce Mold & Mildew Growth – Gutter guards help water to flow through the gutters quickly because it is unhindered by any debris. Water is one of the main causes of mold and mildew growth, 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 can be an endless struggle. Every model of gutter guard stops animals from building nests inside of the gutter. Some homeowners choose to install gutter guards just for this reason.
Gutter Cleaning Less Often – Gutter guards need to be removed to clean the gutters, but if they are installed, this project won’t have to be done as often. Leaf guards can cut down the frequency in which you have to clean out the gutters – or or hire a company to do the job for you – so that you may only need to have them cleaned only 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, and then the rest of the 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 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 snow and ice to get it off your roof much faster.
These are all problems that impact hundreds of thousands of American homes every year. Gutter guards protect an important system that protects the rest of your home. If you’ve never considered installing them before, it might be time to think about it.

Professional Gutter Guard Installation
You can see, there are a lot of benefits of gutter guards. While it might be tempting to run out and purchase the type you think will be the best – how 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 installation service do the project for you.
Not only will their installation be 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 home in the first place. They know 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 service will think about when deciding the best gutter guards for your home:
Material – Gutter guards can be made of aluminum, plastic, foam or a handful of other materials. Some gutter guards are made for temporary use while some are designed to last as long as your gutters. The material is a key role in how long the gutter guards will last.
Installation method – The only type of gutter guards we would recommend for a homeowner to install on their own is the drop in kind that don’t require any fastening to the gutters. However, these are not as dependable. Installing other types, including snap-in and screw-on gutter guards, might damage your rain gutters if they are not installed the right way.
Appearance – Many gutter guards offer a low profile so they aren’t visible from ground level, while some styles are visible. If this is an important requirement, you are limited on the style of gutter guard you can have, and limited even more by the style of gutters you have on your home. If it is important for you to have “invisible” gutter guards installed, it may be necessary to buy new gutters as well.
Warranty – Many gutter guard styles will come with a shorter manufacturer’s warranty, however most of the aluminum types are guaranteed for at least 10-20 years. By having a licensed gutter guard installation company in Wyoming (rather than doing it yourself), 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 Prime Gutters Inc. install your new gutter guards is that we’ll come back and repair them free of charge if there is an issue due to the installation.
Your budget is, of course, the final factor in determining which gutter guards you will have installed. We provide a wide range of options for all budgets, and will provide the benefits listed above, to one degree or another.
