Cleaning your gutters several times a year can be a hassle, from the time invested to the safety risks incurred when getting on a ladder. Neglecting the upkeep of your gutters, however, can lead to problems in the future. Obstructed or damaged gutters can cause water damage, encourage mold growth, and attract pests. One good way to care for your system is adding gutter guards. In an area such as Jeffersonville — which gets more cockroaches infestations than 68% of the country — it is particularly important to keep your gutters debris-free. Debris-filled gutters attract roaches, which can then end up in your home.
Find the right person to install your gutter guards by exploring our carefully compiled guide to the top companies in and around Jeffersonville.

Today's Homeowner looks at dozens of datapoints on gutter guard companies to come up with our data-driven rankings. It's not possible for a company to pay for preferential treatment in our rankings. We look at the following key factors in determining who should top our list:
The most common types of gutter guards include the following:
Online reviews from real customers, in addition to the BBB, are good places to start. A reliable gutter services professional should be able to explain how the work will or won't affect your roof warranty. After an inspection, the company should provide an estimate in writing. It should also offer you information about warranties and provide proof of insurance, in the unlikely event that someone sustains an injury while on your property.
Any kind of severe weather can pose a threat to your gutters. Jeffersonville sometimes gets strong winds, which can blow debris into your gutters. This can then lead to water damage or pest infestations.
Keeping your gutters well-maintained and clog-free is especially important in places that see a lot of rain. Broken or blocked gutters can easily crack or overflow, causing water damage to your home, foundation, and lawn.
By buying mesh gutter guards, you can save time you'd otherwise spend cleaning your gutters yourself and cash you'd otherwise spend for professional deep-cleaning. Even if you don't have trees surrounding your home, guards stop birds and insects that nest in gutters and feed on debris. Guards also help prevent rust, corrosion, and water damage in Jeffersonville's heavy rainfall.
It is often the case that gutter guard installation companies can also provide cleaning. You can learn whether a particular company offers this service by calling, or by seeing if it makes our list of
Gutter guards cannot completely eliminate the need to clean your gutters, but they can reduce how often you'll need to climb a ladder. Uncovered gutters need to be cleaned between two and six times a year, depending on the weather and the amount of tree coverage on your property. If you invest in gutter guards, that number could shrink to once a year or less.
The life span of gutter guards varies between the different types and materials available. Depending on the local weather and how well you maintain them, brush and surface tension guards can last up to 20 years. Foam guards can have a life span of up to 10 years, although they typically deteriorate faster in very wet or sunny climates, such as in Jeffersonville. Plastic micro-mesh has a life span of about three years, while metal micro-mesh lasts around 12 years. For most other types of guards, plastic will last between three and six years, steel between seven and 10 years, and aluminum between 10 and 20 years.
