The local pros at Mr. Handyman are well-versed in the various types of gutter guards available, as well as their features and benefits. Not sure what you want installed? We’re happy to provide a recommendation based on your home’s unique needs.

What are the benefits of gutter guard installation?

Gutter guards make good sense for many homeowners regardless of where they live. Here are the other top benefits of installing gutter guards: Reduces Gutter Clogs If your gutters frequently get clogged with leaves, twigs, pine needles or other debris, gutter guards offer a layer of protection. If you have observed water spilling over the sides of your gutters during rainstorms, this is a clear sign there is a blockage that is preventing proper water flow. Lowers Maintenance Efforts If you find yourself frequently cleaning your gutters to ensure proper drainage, gutter guards will significantly reduce your maintenance time and effort. For multi-story homes or houses with hard-to-reach gutters, installing gutter guards can minimize the need for risky cleaning that requires you to climb a ladder. Alleviates Water Damage Concerns Pooling water around your home's foundation due to overflowing gutters can lead to structural issues. Gutter guards help direct water away from your home. Persistent water overflow can damage the roof, fascia boards, and exterior walls, leading to costly repairs. Reduces Pest Problems Removing stagnant water and accumulated debris from clogged gutters destroys gathering sites for mosquitoes, roaches, ants, and other insects, as well as nesting sites for birds and rodents. Protects Against Tree Shedding and Severe Weather Homes surrounded by trees that shed leaves, needles, or cones are prime candidates for gutter guard installation. Areas with frequent, heavy rainfall or snow/ice can benefit from gutter guards to handle large volumes of water efficiently and prevent ice dams that freeze and block gutters.
