NEED GUTTER GUARDS?
What are Gutter Guards?
Rain gutters are simple and low cost considering how important they are: protecting more valuable areas of your home. Gutters help keep rain water off the wood or siding, windows, porch, deck and basement, routing it discreetly away from your home.
That means, anything that can protect your gutters and helps them function even more efficiently is a smart investment as well.
Gutter guards are a low cost feature you can add to any style of gutters, and they work as a protective shield for gutters so debris and animals aren’t able to get inside of them. Purchasing gutter guards can be a money-saving measure that you’ll thank yourself for year after year.
There are many styles of gutter guard. The type you install will depend on your budget and the type of rain gutters you have. Gutter guards are made of either aluminum, nylon or plastic.

Benefits of Gutter Guards
On average, gutter guards will cost around as much per linear foot as the gutters cost themselves. In the long run, you will save time and money by installing them. Here are a few of the reasons we think you should install gutter guards on your roof:
Improve Drainage by Preventing Clogs – Gutter guards help keep leaves and most debris out of your gutters. Otherwise larger pieces settle in the gutter first, then small pieces pile up around them. Of all the different gutter guard models, all of them prevent these larger pieces of debris from becoming stuck to start with.
Reduce Mold & Mildew Growth – Gutter guards allow water to stream through the gutters quickly since it is unhindered by debris or leaves. Water is one of the primary causes of mold and mildew growth, so moving the water faster through the gutters reduces the time rain is sitting still, leading to mold and mildew.
Prevent Pests from Nesting – Keeping squirrels, chipmunks, birds and insects out of rain gutters and off the roof can be an endless battle. Every style of gutter guard stops animals from building nests inside of the gutter. A lot of homeowners decide to install gutter guards just for this reason.
Gutter Cleaning Less Often – Gutter guards have to be removed to clean the gutters, but if they are installed, this job won’t have to be done as often. Leaf guards can cut down the frequency that you need to clean out the gutters – or have someone to do the work for you – so that you may only have to have them cleaned only once a year.
Protection From Fires – A common way fires spread to homes is if embers fall into gutters that have dry debris in them. This debris gives the fire fuel until it becomes too large and damages the roof, followed by the rest of the house. A basic gutter guard installation can protect your home from this fire risk.
Prevent Ice Dams – If you live in an area that gets frequent below-freezing temperatures, snow and ice, you’ll be interested to know that gutter guards help stop snow and ice from staying up on your roof. Their unique designs purposefully redirect melting ice and snow to get it off your roof much faster.
These are all problems that impact hundreds of thousands of homes each year. Gutter guards protect a vital system that protects the rest of the house. If you haven’t considered installing them before, it could be time to think about it.

Professional Gutter Guard Installation
As you can see, there are many benefits of gutter guards. While it might be tempting to run out and purchase the model you think will work best – how different could they be, right? – you will still have to install them properly. Ultimately, you’re much better off letting a professional gutter guard installer do the job for you.
Not only will their installation be more reliable than your DIY work, but a professional gutter guard service and installer should be able to recommend the best type of gutter system for your home in the first place. They know all of the options, and they will consider each factor when deciding their recommendation.
Here are a few of the factors a gutter guard installer will consider when deciding the perfect gutter guards for your home:
Material – Gutter guards are made of aluminum, plastic, foam or a handful of other materials. Some are made for temporary use and others are designed to last just as long as your gutters will. The construction is a key factor in how long gutter guards will last.
Installation method – The type of gutter guards we would encourage for a homeowner to install on their own is the drop in type that do not require fastening to the gutters. Installing the other types, including snap-in and screw-on gutter guards, can destroy your gutters if they’re not installed correctly.
Appearance – Some gutter guards offer a low profile so they aren’t visible from ground level, while others are very obvious. If that is an important requirement, you will be limited on the type of gutter guard you can install, and limited even more by the style of gutters you have. If it is important for you to have low profile gutter guards installed, it might be necessary to install new gutters too.
Warranty – Some gutter guard styles will come with a shorter warranty, however most of the aluminum types are guaranteed to last for 10-20 years. By having a licensed gutter guard installer in Wichita (instead of doing it on your own), you won’t void the warranty. Gutter guards should not lift your shingles, nor should the installation void your roof’s warranty.
Another great thing by having WeClean Wichita Gutters install your gutter guards is that we’ll come back and repair them for FREE if there is an issue related to the installation.
Your budget is, of course, the last factor in determining which gutter guards you will have installed. We offer a wide range of options for all budgets, and will provide the benefits listed above, to one degree or another.
