Why Choose Gutter Guards?
At Professional Roofers Inc., we understand the importance of maintaining your home’s integrity and protecting it from water damage. One component that often raises questions among homeowners is the value of installing gutter guards. With installation costs averaging between $5 to $10 per linear foot, it’s natural to wonder if the investment is justified. Let’s explore the benefits and considerations to help you make an informed decision.
Understanding Gutter Guards
Gutter guards are devices designed to prevent debris such as leaves, twigs, and dirt from clogging your gutters, ensuring that rainwater flows freely away from your home. They come in various types, including mesh screens, foam inserts, and reverse curve systems, each with its own set of advantages. At PRI, we exclusively use Senox Roll Lock Gutter Guards. We stand buy their product due to the consistent quality and product availability, as Senox has the largest inventory in-stock in the industry.
Benefits of Installing Gutter Guards
Reduced Maintenance: By blocking debris, gutter guards significantly decrease the frequency of gutter cleanings. While they don’t eliminate the need entirely, they can cut down the necessity from multiple times a year to just once annually.
Prevention of Water Damage: Clogged gutters can lead to water overflow, which may damage your home’s foundation, siding, and landscaping. Gutter guards help maintain proper water flow, mitigating these risks.
Extended Gutter Lifespan: By preventing the accumulation of debris and standing water, gutter guards can reduce rust and corrosion, thereby extending the life of your gutter system.

Pest Deterrence: Open gutters can become breeding grounds for pests like mosquitoes and can attract rodents. Gutter guards act as a barrier, deterring these unwanted visitors.
Fire Protection: In areas prone to wildfires, gutter guards can prevent the accumulation of dry leaves and debris, reducing the risk of ignition from floating embers.
Are Gutter Guards Worth It?
For many homeowners, especially those with numerous trees nearby or residing in areas with heavy rainfall, gutter guards can be a worthwhile investment. They not only reduce the hassle and danger associated with frequent gutter cleaning but also protect the home from potential water-related damages. However, it’s crucial to choose the right type of gutter guard suited to your specific environment and to have them professionally installed to ensure optimal performance.
