NEED GUTTER GUARDS?
What are Gutter Guards?
Rain gutters are basic and affordable considering the purpose they serve: protecting much more valuable areas of your house. Gutters help keep rain off the wood or siding, windows, porch, deck and basement, routing it discreetly away from your house.
Therefore, anything that can protect your gutters and helps them work more efficiently is a great investment.
Gutter guards are a low cost product you can install on almost any style of gutters, and they work as a protective screen for gutters so debris and animals can’t get inside of them. Purchasing gutter screens can be a money-saving choice that you’ll happy with for many years.
There are many types of gutter guard. The style you install will depend on your budget and the type of rain gutters you have on your home. 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. But in the long run, you’re going to save 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 leaves and debris out of your gutters. Otherwise large pieces settle in the gutter first, then smaller pieces pile up around them. Of all the many gutter guard styles, all of them prevent these larger pieces of debris from getting stuck to begin with.
Reduce Mold & Mildew Growth – Gutter guards allow water to flow through the gutters quickly since it is unhindered by any debris. Rain is one of the main 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 can be a constant battle. Every style of gutter guard prevents pests from building nests inside of the gutter. Some homeowners choose to install gutter guards for this reason alone.
Gutter Cleaning Less Often – Gutter guards need to be removed to clean the gutters, but when they are installed, this job won’t have to be done as often. Leaf guards reduce the frequency in which you need to clean gutters – or have someone to do it for you – so that you might only need to have them cleaned only once a year.
Protection From Fires – A typical way fires spread to homes is when embers fall inside of 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 home. A basic gutter guard installation can protect your home from the risk of fire.
Prevent Ice Dams – If you live in an area that gets below-freezing temperatures, snow and ice, you’ll be happy to know that gutter guards help prevent snow and ice from staying up on your roof. Their designs redirect melting snow and ice to get it off your roof faster.
These are all issues that impact hundreds of thousands of American homes every year. Gutter guards protect a vital system that protects the rest of the home. If you haven’t thought about installing them before, it might be time to think about it.

Professional Gutter Guard Installation
As you can see, there are many benefits of gutter guards. While it might be tempting to go out and buy the model you think will be the best – how much different could they be, right? – you will still have to install them correctly. All things considered, 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 gutter guard service and installer will be able to recommend the best type of gutter for your house in the first place. They know all of the choices, and they will consider each factor in detail when deciding their recommendation.
Here are some of the things a gutter guard service will consider when recommending the best 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 made for temporary usage and some are built to last as long as your gutters. The construction is a key role in how long the gutter guards will last.
Installation method – The only type of gutter guards we would encourage for a homeowner to install on their own is the drop in kind that do not require fastening to the gutters. However, these are not as dependable. Installing the other types, including snap-in and screw-on gutter guards, could damage your rain gutters if they’re not installed the right way.
Appearance – Some gutter guards boast a low profile so they aren’t visible from ground level, while some styles are visible. If that is an important condition, you will be limited on the style of gutter guard you can install, and limited even more by the style of gutters you have. If it is very important for you to have “invisible” gutter guards installed, it might be necessary to purchase new gutters.
Warranty – Some gutter guard styles will come with a shorter warranty, however most of the aluminum models are guaranteed to last for 10-20 years. By hiring a licensed gutter guard installation company in Bellevue (instead of doing it yourself), 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 Better Bellevue Gutters install your new gutter guards is that we’ll return and fix them free of charge if there is an issue due to the installation.
Your budget is, of course, the last factor in deciding 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.
