NEED GUTTER GUARDS?
What are Gutter Guards?
Rain gutters are fairly basic and affordable considering the purpose they serve: protecting much more valuable areas of your home. Gutters keep rain off the wood or siding, windows, patio, deck and basement, directing it away from your home.
Therefore, anything that protects your gutters from damage and helps them function 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 barrier for your gutters so large debris and pests won’t get inside of them. Installing leaf guards can be a money-saving decision that you’ll happy with for many years.
There are several types of gutter guard. The style you choose to install will depend on your available budget and the type of gutters you have on your home. 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 themselves. But in the long run, you will save a lot of time and money by installing them. Here are a few of the reasons we encourage you to install gutter guards on your house:
Improve Drainage by Preventing Clogs – Gutter guards help keep leaves and most debris out of your gutters. Otherwise larger pieces settle in the gutter first, then small pieces of debris collect around them. Of all the many gutter guard models, all of them prevent these larger leaves and pieces of debris from becoming stuck to begin with.
Reduce Mold & Mildew Growth – Gutter guards help water to flow through the gutters faster because it isn’t blocked by debris or leaves. Rain is one of the major reasons for mold and mildew to grow, 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 gutters and off the roof can be a constant struggle. Every type of gutter guard stops animals from crafting nests within the gutter. Some homeowners decide to install gutter guards just for this reason.
Gutter Cleaning Less Often – Gutter guards need to be removed to clean the gutters, but if they are installed, this project doesn’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 it for you – so that you might only need to have them cleaned only once each year.
Protection From Fires – A common way fires spread to homes is when 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 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 frequent below-freezing temps, snow and ice, you’ll be interested to know that gutter guards can help prevent snow and ice from staying up on your roof. Their unique designs 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 each year. Gutter guards protect a vital system that protects the rest of your home. If you’ve never considered 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 purchase the model you think will be the best – how different could they be, right? – you still have to install them properly. In the end, you’re much better off letting a professional gutter guard installation service do the job for you.
Not only will their installation be much more reliable than your DIY work, but a professional gutter guard service and installer should be able to suggest 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 when deciding their recommendation.
Here are some 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 other materials. Some are made for temporary use while some are built to last just as long as your gutters. The material is a key factor in how long gutter guards will last.
Installation method – The type of gutter guards we would suggest for a homeowner to install themselves is the drop in type 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, might 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 some styles are very obvious. If this is an important requirement, you will be limited on the type of gutter guard you can have, and limited even more by the type of gutters you have. If it is important for you to have “invisible” gutter guards, it may be necessary to buy new gutters as well.
Warranty – Many gutter guard styles will come with a short manufacturer’s warranty, but most of the aluminum models are guaranteed to last for 10-20 years. By having a licensed gutter guard installation company in Pleasanton (instead of doing it on your own), you won’t void your warranty. Gutter guards should never lift your shingles, nor should their installation void your roof’s warranty.
Another great thing by having Prime Pleasanton Gutters install your gutter guards is that we’ll return and repair them for FREE if there is any issue related to the installation from our team.
Your budget is, of course, the final factor in determining the gutter guards you will have installed. We offer a wide range of options for all budgets, and will provide the benefits listed above, to one degree or another.
