What are Gutter Guards?
Rain gutters are fairly simple and affordable considering the purpose they serve: protecting much more valuable areas of your house. Gutters help keep rain off the siding, windows, patio, deck and basement, routing it discreetly away from your home.
Therefore, anything that can protect your gutters from damage and helps them work even more efficiently is a smart investment too.
Gutter guards are a low cost feature you can add to almost any style of gutters, and they serve as a protective screen for your gutters so large debris and animals won’t get inside of them. Buying leaf guards can be a money-saving choice that you’ll thank yourself for many years.
There are several 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 aluminum, nylon or plastic.

Benefits of Gutter Guards
Typically, gutter guards cost around as much per linear foot as the gutters themselves. In the long run, you will save time and money by installing them. Here are a few of the reasons we recommend to install gutter guards on your roof:
Improve Drainage by Preventing Clogs – Gutter guards help keep most debris out of your gutters. Otherwise larger pieces settle in the gutter first, then smaller pieces pile up around them. Of all the many gutter guard styles, all of them block these larger pieces of debris from getting stuck to start with.
Reduce Mold & Mildew Growth – Gutter guards help water to stream through the gutters quickly because it isn’t blocked by any large debris or leaves. Rain is one of the primary causes of mold and mildew to grow, so moving the water faster through the gutters limits the time rain remains sitting still, 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 a constant struggle. Every style of gutter guard stops pests from building nests inside of the gutter. A lot of homeowners decide to install gutter guards just for this reason.
Gutter Cleaning Less Often – Gutter guards need to be removed in order to clean the gutters, but when they are present, this project doesn’t have to be done as often. Leaf guards reduce the frequency that you have to clean out the gutters – or or hire a company to do the job for you – so that you might only need to have them cleaned only once each year.
Protection From Fires – A typical way fires spread to homes is when embers fall inside of gutters that have dry debris in them. This debris gives the fire fuel until it becomes too large and damages the roof, followed by the entire home. 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 help stop 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 affect hundreds of thousands of homes each year. Gutter guards protect an important system that protects the rest of the house. 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 may be tempting to go out and install the type you think will work best – how much different could they be, right? – you still have to install them correctly. All things considered, you’re much better off having a professional gutter guard installation service do the job for you.
Not only will professional installation be much more reliable than your DIY work, but a local gutter guard service and installer should be able to recommend the best type of gutter system for your home in the first place. They are familiar with all of the options, and they will consider each factor carefully when deciding their recommendation.
Here are some of the things a gutter guard company will consider when recommending the best gutter guards for your home:
Material – Gutter guards are manufactured with aluminum, plastic, foam or a handful of different materials. Some are made for temporary usage and some are designed to last just as long as your gutters. The construction plays a key factor in how long the gutter guards will last.
Installation method – The only style of gutter guards we would encourage for a homeowner to install themselves is the drop in type that do not require any fastening to the gutters. However, these are not as dependable. Installing the other types, including snap-in and screw-on gutter guards, can damage your rain gutters if they are not installed correctly.
Appearance – Many gutter guards offer a low profile so they aren’t visible from ground level, while others are visible. If this is an important condition, you are limited on the style of gutter guard you can install, and limited even more by the type of gutters you have. If it is important for you to have “invisible” gutter guards installed, it might be necessary for you to buy new gutters.
Warranty – Many gutter guard styles will come with a shorter warranty, however most of the aluminum models are guaranteed for 10-20 years. By having a licensed gutter guard installation company in Pasco (instead of 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 about having Prime Pasco Gutters install your gutter guards is that we’ll return and fix them for FREE if there is any issue related to the installation from our team.
Your budget is, of course, the last factor in choosing the gutter guards you will have installed. We provide a wide range of options for every budget, and will provide the benefits listed above, to one degree or another.
