Cleaning gutters is a time-consuming and occasionally dangerous task that likely doesn't make the list of anyone's favorite chores. However, if you fail to keep your gutters clean, you could find yourself facing all sorts of problems, from mold and mildew to water damage to pest infestations. Luckily, gutter guards can help. In a place such as Omaha — which gets more cockroaches infestations than 94% of the country — having clean gutters is especially important. Debris-filled gutters attract roaches, which may then end up in your home.
Select the right company to install gutter guards by reading our carefully assembled guide to the top professionals in and around Omaha.

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 common types of gutter guards. These include the following:
Internet reviews from real customers, in addition to the BBB, are excellent places to start. The gutter services company that you ultimately choose should be able to describe how installation may or may not affect your roof warranty. Post-inspection, the company should provide an estimate in writing. It should also have information about warranties and provide proof of insurance, in the unlikely event that an employee sustains an injury on your property.
The style of gutter guard that is best for your system will be based on several factors, including the types of trees on your property and the usual weather in your part of Nebraska. Omaha gets a moderate amount of rainfall, and you'll want to be sure that your guards can hold up to occasional heavy storms.
You should also consider your budget and whether you have a preference about guards being visible from the ground. Working with a local gutter guard technician can help you determine the right style for you.
When you use 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 on your property, guards stop birds, roaches, and other pests that nest in gutters and eat debris. Guards also help prevent water damage, rust, and corrosion .
There are some companies that handle the installation of both gutters and gutter guards. The best way to learn which companies offer this service and get an estimated price is by contacting them directly. You should also look and see if the company made it onto our list of
Most full-service gutter guard installers offer lifetime transferable warranties, which have both short- and long-term benefits. This warranty protects you should the guards fail, and because it can be transferred to the next homeowner, it adds value to your home when it comes time to sell.
The life span of gutter guards varies based on their material and type. Depending on how well you maintain them (and on the local climate), surface tension and brush guards can last up to 20 years. Foam guards can last up to a decade, although they often deteriorate faster in very wet or sunny climates. Plastic micro-mesh has a life span of around three years, while metal micro-mesh lasts around 12 years. For most other guard types, plastic will last between three and six years, steel between seven and 10 years, and aluminum between 10 and 20 years.
