NEED GUTTER GUARDS?
What are Gutter Guards?
Gutters are fairly simple and inexpensive considering the purpose they serve: protecting much more valuable areas of your home. Gutters keep rain off the wood or siding, windows, porch, deck and basement, directing it away from your home.
That means, anything that can protect your gutters from damage and helps them work more efficiently is a great investment as well.
Gutter guards are a low cost product you can install on any style of gutters, and they function as a protective barrier for gutters so large debris and animals can’t get inside of them. Purchasing leaf guards can be a money-saving decision that you’ll be rewarded for for many years.
There are many styles of gutter guard. The style you install depends on your available budget and the type of gutters you have. 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’re going to save a lot of time and money 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 keep leaves and debris out of your gutters. Otherwise big pieces of debris settle in the gutter first, then small pieces of debris pile up around them. Of all the different gutter guard styles, all of them prevent larger leaves and pieces of debris from getting stuck to begin with.
Reduce Mold & Mildew Growth – Gutter guards allow water to flow through the gutters quickly because it isn’t blocked by any large debris. Rain is one of the major causes of mold and mildew growth, so 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 rain gutters and off the roof is often a constant struggle. Every model of gutter guard stops animals from crafting nests inside of the gutter. Some homeowners decide to install gutter guards for this reason alone.
Gutter Cleaning Less Often – Gutter guards have to be removed in order to clean the gutters, but if they are present, this job won’t have to be done as regularly. Leaf guards reduce the frequency in which you need to clean gutters – or or hire a company to do it for you – so that you may only have to have them cleaned out once each year.
Protection From Fires – A typical way fires spread to homes is when embers fall inside of gutters where there is dry debris. This debris fuels the fire until it grows and damages the roof, followed by the rest of the home. A basic gutter guard installation can protect your home from this fire risk.
Prevent Ice Dams – If you live in an area that gets below-freezing temps, snow and sleet, you’ll be happy to know that gutter guards help prevent 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 problems that impact hundreds of thousands of American homes each year. Gutter guards protect a vital system that protects the rest of your house. If you haven’t considered installing them before, it might be time to think about it.

Professional Gutter Guard Installation
You can see, there are a lot of benefits of gutter guards. While it might 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 letting a professional gutter guard installer do the project for you.
Not only will their installation be a lot more reliable than DIY work, but a local gutter guard service and installer is going to 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 when making their recommendation.
Here are a few of the things a gutter guard service will think about when determining the perfect gutter guards for your home:
Material – Gutter guards can be manufactured with aluminum, plastic, foam or a handful of other materials. Some gutter guards are designed for temporary use while some are built to last as long as your gutters. The material plays a key role in how long gutter guards will last.
Installation method – The style of gutter guards we would suggest for a homeowner to install on their own is the drop in kind that don’t require fastening to the gutters. However, these are not as dependable. Installing other types, including snap-in and screw-on gutter guards, might destroy 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 some styles 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 roof. If it is important for you to have “invisible” gutter guards installed, it may be necessary for you to purchase new gutters.
Warranty – A lot of gutter guard styles will come with a shorter warranty, but most of the aluminum models are guaranteed to last for 10-20 years. By having a licensed gutter guard installer in Hoffman Estates (rather than doing it yourself), you won’t void your warranty. Gutter guards should never lift your shingles, nor should the installation void your roof’s warranty.
Another great thing about having Premiere Gutter Service install your new gutter guards is that we’ll return and repair them for FREE if there is any issue due to the installation.
Your budget is, of course, the final factor in deciding which gutter guards you will have installed. We provide a range of options for every budget, and will provide the benefits listed above, to one degree or another.
