NEED GUTTER GUARDS?
What are Gutter Guards?
Gutters are fairly basic and affordable considering the purpose they serve: protecting much more valuable parts of your home. Gutters help keep rain water off the siding, windows, porch, deck and basement, routing it discreetly away from your home.
That means, anything that protects your gutters from damage and helps them work even more efficiently is a great investment as well.
Gutter guards are a low cost feature you can add to any type of gutters, and they work as a protective screen for your gutters so debris and pests aren’t able to get inside of them. Buying gutter screens can be a money-saving measure that you’ll be rewarded for for many years.
There are a lot of types of gutter guard. The style you choose to install depends 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 will cost around as much per linear foot as the gutters themselves. In the long run, you’re going to 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 help keep most debris out of your gutters. Otherwise larger pieces of debris settle in the gutter first, then small pieces pile up around them. Of all the different gutter guard styles, all of them prevent these larger leaves and pieces of debris from becoming stuck to start with.
Reduce Mold & Mildew Growth – Gutter guards allow water to stream through the gutters quickly because it isn’t blocked by any debris. Water is one of the main reasons for mold and mildew growth, so moving the water faster through the gutters limits the amount of time rain spends sitting still, possibly leading to mold and mildew.
Prevent Pests from Nesting – Keeping squirrels, chipmunks, birds and insects out of your gutters and off the roof is often a constant battle. Every style of gutter guard stops animals from crafting nests inside of the gutter. A lot of homeowners decide to install gutter guards for no other reason than this.
Gutter Cleaning Less Often – Gutter guards must be removed to clean the gutters, but if they are present, this job won’t have to be done nearly as frequently. Leaf guards reduce the frequency in which you have to clean gutters – or hire a professional to do the job for you – so that you may only need to have them cleaned only once a year.
Protection From Fires – A common 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 grows and damages the roof, followed by the rest of the house. A basic 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 temps, snow and sleet, you’ll be interested to know that gutter guards help prevent snow and ice from staying up on your roof. Their designs purposefully redirect melting snow and ice to get it off your roof faster.
These are all problems that affect hundreds of thousands of homes each year. Gutter guards protect a vital system that protects the rest of the home. If you’ve never thought about installing them before, it could be time to think about it.

Professional Gutter Guard Installation
You can see, there are a lot of benefits of gutter guards. While it may be tempting to run out and install the type you think will work best – how different could they be, right? – you still have to install them correctly. In the end, you’re much better off having a professional gutter guard installation company do the project for you.
Not only will their 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 for your house in the first place. They are familiar with all of the styles, and they will consider each factor carefully when making their recommendation.
Here are a few of the factors a gutter guard company will think about when choosing the perfect gutter guards for your home:
Material – Gutter guards are manufactured with aluminum, plastic, foam or a handful of different materials. Some gutter guards are made for temporary use while some are designed to last just as long as your gutters. The material plays a key role in how long the gutter guards will last.
Installation method – The style 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’re not installed correctly.
Appearance – A lot of gutter guards offer a low profile so they cannot be seen from ground level, while others are visible. 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 important for you to have “invisible” gutter guards, it might be necessary for you to buy new gutters as well.
Warranty – Many gutter guard styles will come with a short warranty, however most of the aluminum types are guaranteed to last for at least 10-20 years. By hiring a licensed gutter guard installation company in Alpharetta (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 AllClean Alpharetta Gutters install your new gutter guards is that we’ll come back and fix them free of charge if there is any issue due to the installation.
Your budget is, of course, the final factor in determining which gutter guards you will have installed. We offer a range of options for every budget, and will provide the benefits listed above, to one degree or another.
