NEED GUTTER GUARDS?
What are Gutter Guards?
Gutters are fairly simple and affordable considering how important they are: protecting more valuable areas of your house. Gutters keep rain off the wood or siding, windows, patio, deck and basement, directing it discreetly away from your house.
That means, anything that protects your gutters from damage and helps them function more efficiently is a good investment too.
Gutter guards are an inexpensive product you can add to almost any style of gutters, and they function as a protective screen for your gutters so debris and animals won’t get inside of them. Purchasing gutter guards can be a money-saving decision that you’ll thank yourself for year after year.
There are several types of gutter guard. The style you install depends on your available budget and the type of rain gutters you have on your home. 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 a lot of time and money installing them. Here are a few of the reasons we think you should install gutter guards on your roof:
Improve Drainage by Preventing Clogs – Gutter guards help keep leaves and most debris out of your gutters. Otherwise big pieces settle in the gutter first, then small pieces of debris pile up around them. Of all the many gutter guard models, all of them prevent these larger leaves and pieces of debris from getting stuck to start with.
Reduce Mold & Mildew Growth – Gutter guards allow water to flow through the gutters faster since it isn’t blocked by debris or leaves. Rain is one of the primary reasons for mold and mildew to grow, therefore 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 prevents animals from crafting nests within the gutter. Some homeowners choose to install gutter guards for no other reason than this.
Gutter Cleaning Less Often – Gutter guards have to be removed in order to clean the gutters, but if they are present, this project doesn’t have to be done as often. Leaf guards reduce the frequency in which you need to clean gutters – or hire a professional to do the work for you – so that you may only have to have them cleaned only once a year.
Protection From Fires – A common way fires spread to homes is if embers fall into gutters that have dry debris in them. This debris fuels the fire until it grows and damages the roof, followed by the rest of the house. A standard gutter guard installation can protect your home from this fire risk.
Prevent Ice Dams – If you live in an area that gets frequent below-freezing temperatures, snow and ice, you’ll be interested to know that gutter guards can help stop snow and ice from staying up on your roof. Their unique designs purposefully redirect melting ice and snow to get it off your roof much faster.
These are all problems that affect hundreds of thousands of American homes every year. Gutter guards protect an important system that protects the rest of the home. If you haven’t thought about installing them before, it could 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 run out and purchase the model you think will work best – how much different could they really be, right? – you still have to install them correctly. All things considered, you’re much better off having a professional gutter guard installer do the project for you.
Not only will professional installation be a lot more reliable than your DIY work, but a local gutter guard service and installer should be able to suggest the best type of gutter for your home in the first place. They are familiar with all of the choices, and they will consider each factor carefully when deciding their recommendation.
Here are a few of the factors a gutter guard service will take into account when deciding the best gutter guards for your home:
Material – Gutter guards can be manufactured with aluminum, plastic, foam or a handful of different materials. Some gutter guards are designed for temporary use and others are built to last 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 suggest for a homeowner to install on their own is the drop in type that don’t 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 destroy your gutters if they are not installed the right way.
Appearance – Some gutter guards boast a low profile so they aren’t visible from ground level, while others are very obvious. If this is an important requirement, you are limited on the type of gutter guard you can install, 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 for you to install new gutters.
Warranty – A lot of gutter guard styles will come with a short warranty, however most of the aluminum models are guaranteed to last for at least 10-20 years. By having a licensed gutter guard installation company in Centennial (instead of doing it on your own), you won’t void the warranty. Gutter guards should never lift your shingles, nor should the installation void your roof’s warranty.
Another great thing about having Centennial Gutter Solutions install your gutter guards is that we’ll come back and repair them free of charge if there is any issue due to the installation.
Your budget is, of course, the last 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.
