You don’t mind a little work on the house, like spring cleaning or rearranging the living room, but one thing you can’t stand is cleaning out the gutters; well, you’re not alone!

Your annual or twice-yearly gutter cleaning can be a pain. Luckily, the installment of gutter guards is the perfect solution. Here are all the five reasons you should install gutter guards on your residential or commercial roof!

1. Time and Money Saver

Gutter guards provide a mesh cover for your gutters, so rainwater filters in, and debris–like leaves and twigs–stay out! By eliminating almost all possible debris from infiltrating your gutter system, you’ll enjoy the time you don’t have to spend cleaning them out or the money you’d pay to hire a professional.

2. Benefits the Rest of Your Exterior

A proper gutter system is integral to a long-lasting household. It protects your roof from water damage as gutters pull damaging water away during a storm. Additionally, clogged gutters can get weighed down and snap off, potentially damaging your home’s siding. So, to preserve the rest of your exterior, gutter guards are a crucial facet!

3. Culls Potential Pests

Ordinary gutters leave a long stretch of basin uncovered for pests like mice, bats, and squirrels to find a nesting spot. Gutter guards block out this potential vermin nest while allowing water to pass through its mesh covering. If the gutter guards are in place, the pests can’t stay!

4. Ice Dam Prevention

The common cause of ice dams is the improper flow of ice melting from your roof. Sometimes, gutters catch some of this melting ice before it freezes. However, a clogged gutter gives ice melt a chance to refreeze at the edge of your roof, increasing the possibility of an ice dam. Keep moisture flowing off your roof every season with gutter guards!

5. Prevent Premature Corrosion

Organic materials like leaves and twigs start to decompose in moisture over time. Open gutters give organic material a perfect area to rot, often leaving rust and corrosion throughout your gutter system. Installing gutter guards significantly increases your gutters' health and lifespan.
