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:
There are six broad types of gutter guards. These include the following:
One place to start is by looking at online reviews from real customers, including those on its BBB page. A reliable gutter guard installer will be able to provide a written estimate and an explanation of warranties. A trustworthy company will have insurance, in case of an injury on your property, and should be able to articulate if and how its work will affect your roof warranty.
Any kind of severe weather can pose a threat to your gutters. A heavy storm or strong winds could blow in debris and block the system. This can attract pests, lead to water damage, and ruin your gutters.
Florence also gets more roach infestations than many other places, which means you should clear debris buildup as soon as you notice it. Gutter debris makes very tempting food for roaches.
By using mesh guards, you can save time you'd otherwise spend cleaning your gutters yourself and money you'd otherwise spend for professional deep-cleaning. Even if you don't have trees surrounding your home, guards stop birds, roaches, and other pests that like to live in gutters and eat debris. Guards also help prevent corrosion, rust, and water damage .
You may be able to find a company that will remove the old gutter guards from your house in addition to installing new ones. Not all companies offer this service; the best way to ensure that your gutters are fully taken care of is to call one or two of the companies on our list above to find out about which services they provide.
The life span of your gutter guards will depend on the style and material that you choose. Typically, plastic guards last between three and six years, while metal ones can last between seven and 20 years (with steel on the lower end and aluminum on the higher). For example, plastic micro-mesh lasts approximately three years, while the life span for metal micro-mesh is about 12 years. Foam guards can last up to ten years, although they may need to be replaced more often in very sunny or wet climates. Surface tension and brush guards can both last up to 20 years, depending on the weather in your area and how well you maintain them.
