What are Gutter Guards?
Rain gutters are simple and affordable considering how important they are: protecting more valuable parts of your house. Gutters keep rain off the wood or siding, windows, porch, deck and basement, directing it discreetly away from your foundation.
That means, anything that protects your gutters and helps them function even more efficiently is a smart investment.
Gutter guards are an affordable product you can add to almost any type of gutters, and they function as a protective shield for gutters so large debris and pests can’t get inside of them. Purchasing gutter screens can be a money-saving measure that you’ll be rewarded for year after year.
There are several types of gutter guard. The style you choose to install depends on your budget and the type of gutters you have. 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. In the long run, you will save a lot of time and money installing them. Here are some of the reasons we recommend to install gutter guards on your home:
Improve Drainage by Preventing Clogs – Gutter guards keep leaves and most debris out of your gutters. Otherwise larger pieces settle in the gutter first, then small pieces pile up around them. Of all the many gutter guard styles, all of them prevent larger pieces of debris from getting stuck to begin with.
Reduce Mold & Mildew Growth – Gutter guards help water to flow through the gutters quickly because it is unhindered by debris. Rain is one of the main causes of mold and mildew growth, therefore moving the water faster through the gutters limits the amount of time rain spends sitting still, leading to mold and mildew.
Prevent Pests from Nesting – Keeping squirrels, chipmunks, birds and insects out of rain gutters and off the roof can be a constant battle. Every model of gutter guard stops pests from crafting nests within the gutter. Some homeowners decide to install gutter guards for this reason alone.
Gutter Cleaning Less Often – Gutter guards must be removed to clean the gutters, but if they are present, this project doesn’t have to be done as often. Leaf guards cut down the frequency that you need to clean out the gutters – or or hire a company to do it for you – so that you may only have to have them cleaned only once each year.
Protection From Fires – A typical way fires spread to homes is if embers fall inside of gutters where there is dry debris. This debris fuels the fire until it grows and damages the roof, and then the rest of the home. A basic gutter guard installation can protect your home from the risk of fire.
Prevent Ice Dams – If you live in an area that gets below-freezing temps, snow and ice, you’ll be happy to know that gutter guards help stop snow and ice from staying up on your roof. Their unique designs redirect melting snow and ice to get it off your roof faster.
These are all problems that affect hundreds of thousands of homes every year. Gutter guards protect a vital system that protects the rest of the home. If you haven’t considered installing them before, it could be time to think about it.

Professional Gutter Guard Installation
As you can see, there are many benefits of gutter guards. While it may be tempting to run out and buy the model you think will be the best – how different could they be, right? – you still have to install them properly. All things considered, you’re much better off having a professional gutter guard installation service do the project for you.
Not only will their installation be a lot more reliable than your DIY work, but a professional gutter guard service and installer is going to be able to suggest the best type of gutter system for your house in the first place. They know 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 service will consider when choosing the perfect gutter guards for your home:
Material – Gutter guards can be made of aluminum, plastic, foam or a handful of other materials. Some are designed for temporary use and some are designed to last as long as your gutters will. The material is 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 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, can damage your rain gutters if they are not installed correctly.
Appearance – Many gutter guards offer a low profile so they cannot be seen 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 have, and limited even more by the style of gutters you have. If it is very important for you to have low profile gutter guards, it may be necessary to install new gutters as well.
Warranty – A lot of gutter guard styles will come with a short manufacturer’s warranty, but most of the aluminum models are guaranteed for 10-20 years. By having a licensed gutter guard installation company in Eugene (instead of doing it on your own), 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 by having EZ Eugene Gutters install your gutter guards is that we’ll return and fix them for FREE if there is an issue due to the installation from our team.
Your budget is, of course, the final factor in choosing which gutter guards you will have installed. We offer a range of options for all budgets, and will provide the benefits listed above, to one degree or another.
