Gutter Guard Installation FAQs
Gutter guards are protective coverings installed over your gutters to prevent the accumulation of debris while allowing water to flow freely. They play a crucial role in prolonging the life of your gutters, reducing maintenance efforts, and protecting your home’s foundation and landscape from water damage.
The lifespan of gutter guards varies depending on their quality, the material they’re made of, and the environmental conditions in your area. However, top-quality and professionally installed gutter guards can last 20 to 25 years. At Prestige Gutter Systems, we offer a 20-year, no-hassle warranty on our gutter guard installations.
Gutter guards are a worthwhile investment for several reasons. Gutter guards significantly reduce the need for regular cleaning and maintenance. They remove debris, leaves, and pests that can clog and damage your gutters. Moreover, they can save you significant repair costs by averting potential water damage to your property.
While gutter guards significantly reduce debris accumulation, they don’t eliminate the need for occasional cleaning. Cleaning gutters with gutter guards usually entails removing the guards and flushing out the gutters. However, Prestige Gutter Systems’ high-quality gutter guards drastically reduce the cleaning frequency and effort, making the task more manageable and less time-consuming.
When installed correctly, gutter guards should not cause ice dams. In fact, they can help reduce the risk of ice dams by promoting better water flow through the gutters. It’s important to note that ice dams are primarily caused by inefficient roof and attic insulation, not the gutter system.
