NEED GUTTER GUARDS?
What are Gutter Guards?
Rain gutters are fairly basic and inexpensive considering the purpose they serve: protecting more valuable areas of your home. Gutters keep rain water off the wood or siding, windows, patio, deck and basement, directing it away from your foundation.
Therefore, anything that can protect your gutters from damage and helps them work even more efficiently is a good investment too.
Gutter guards are an inexpensive feature you can add to almost any type of gutters, and they function as a protective barrier for gutters so large debris and pests won’t get inside of them. Installing gutter screens can be a money-saving choice that you’ll thank yourself for many years.
There are many styles of gutter guard. The type you choose to install depends on your available budget and the type of gutters you have. Gutter guards are made of either aluminum, nylon or plastic.

Benefits of Gutter Guards
Typically, gutter guards will cost around as much per linear foot as the gutters cost themselves. But in the long run, you’re going to save time and money by installing them. Here are some of the reasons we encourage you to install gutter guards on your roof:
Improve Drainage by Preventing Clogs – Gutter guards keep leaves and debris out of your gutters. Otherwise larger pieces of debris settle in the gutter first, then smaller pieces of debris pile up around them. Of all the different gutter guard styles, all of them stop these larger pieces of debris from getting stuck to begin with.
Reduce Mold & Mildew Growth – Gutter guards help water to stream through the gutters quickly because it is unhindered by large debris. Water is one of the primary causes of mold and mildew growth, therefore moving the water faster through the gutters reduces the amount of time rain remains 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 an endless battle. Every style of gutter guard stops pests from crafting nests inside of the gutter. Many homeowners choose to install gutter guards for no other reason than this.
Gutter Cleaning Less Often – Gutter guards need to be removed to clean the gutters, but when they are installed, this project won’t have to be done as often. Leaf guards can reduce the frequency that you have to clean out the gutters – or or hire a company to do it for you – so that you may only have to have them cleaned only once a 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, followed by the rest of the house. A simple 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 frequent below-freezing temperatures, snow and sleet, you’ll be interested to know that gutter guards can help prevent snow and ice from staying up on your roof. Their designs redirect melting ice and snow to get it off your roof faster.
These are all problems that impact hundreds of thousands of homes each year. Gutter guards protect an important system that protects the rest of the home. If you’ve never thought about installing them before, it may 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 install the model you think will be the best – how different could they really be, right? – you will still have to install them properly. Ultimately, you’re much better off letting a professional gutter guard installer do the project for you.
Not only will their installation be a lot more reliable than DIY work, but a professional gutter guard service and installer is going to be able to recommend the best type of gutter system for your home in the first place. They are familiar with 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 company will take into account when determining the best 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 use while others are built to last just as long as your gutters. The construction is a key role in how long gutter guards will last.
Installation method – The only type of gutter guards we would encourage for a homeowner to install themselves is the drop in kind that do not require fastening to the gutters. Installing the other types, including snap-in and screw-on gutter guards, can destroy your rain 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 that 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 very important for you to have “invisible” gutter guards installed, it might be necessary to install new gutters too.
Warranty – Some gutter guard styles will come with a shorter manufacturer’s warranty, however most of the aluminum types are guaranteed for 10-20 years. By hiring a licensed gutter guard installer in Troy (instead of doing it yourself), you won’t void your warranty. Gutter guards should never lift your shingles, nor should the installation void your roof’s warranty.
Another great thing by having TruClean Troy Gutters install your gutter guards is that we’ll return and repair them free of charge if there is any issue related to the installation.
Your budget is, of course, the final factor in choosing which 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.
