What are Gutter Guards?
Gutters are simple and low cost considering how important they are: protecting much more valuable areas of your home. Gutters keep rain water off the wood or siding, windows, porch, deck and basement, directing it away from your foundation.
That means, anything that protects your gutters from damage and helps them function more efficiently is a great investment as well.
Gutter guards are an inexpensive feature you can add to any style of gutters, and they function as a protective shield for gutters so debris and pests can’t get inside of them. Buying leaf guards can be a money-saving measure that you’ll happy with for many years.
There are a lot of types of gutter guard. The style you choose to install depends on your budget and the type of rain gutters you have on your home. Gutter guards are made of aluminum, nylon or plastic.

Benefits of Gutter Guards
Typically, gutter guards will cost around as much per linear foot as the gutters cost themselves. In the long run, you’re going to save a lot of time and money by installing them. Here are a few of the reasons we encourage you to install gutter guards on your home:
Improve Drainage by Preventing Clogs – Gutter guards keep most debris out of your gutters. Otherwise big pieces of debris settle in the gutter first, then small pieces of debris collect around them. Of all the many gutter guard models, all of them prevent larger leaves and pieces of debris from becoming stuck to start with.
Reduce Mold & Mildew Growth – Gutter guards help water to stream through the gutters faster because it is unhindered by debris or leaves. Rain is one of the main reasons for mold and mildew growth, so moving the water faster through the gutters limits the time rain spends sitting still, leading to mold and mildew.
Prevent Pests from Nesting – Keeping squirrels, chipmunks, birds and insects out of your gutters and off the roof can be a constant battle. Every type of gutter guard stops animals from crafting nests inside of the gutter. A lot of homeowners decide to install gutter guards just for this reason.
Gutter Cleaning Less Often – Gutter guards must be removed in order to clean the gutters, but if they are present, this project doesn’t have to be done nearly as frequently. Leaf guards can reduce the frequency in which you have to clean gutters – or have someone to do the work for you – so that you might only have to have them cleaned out once a year.
Protection From Fires – A typical way fires spread to homes is when embers fall into gutters where there is dry debris. This debris fuels the fire until it grows and damages the roof, followed by the rest of the home. A simple gutter guard installation can protect your home from this fire risk.
Prevent Ice Dams – If you live in an area that gets below-freezing temperatures, snow and sleet, you’ll be happy to know that gutter guards can help prevent snow and ice from staying up on your roof. Their designs redirect melting snow and ice to get it off your roof faster.
These are all issues that affect hundreds of thousands of American homes every year. Gutter guards protect a vital system that protects the rest of the home. If you’ve never considered installing them before, it might 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 type you think will work best – how different could they be, right? – you will still have to install them correctly. Ultimately, you’re much better off letting a professional gutter guard installation service do the job for you.
Not only will their installation be more reliable than your DIY work, but a gutter guard service and installer is going to be able to recommend the best type of gutter for your home in the first place. They are familiar with all of the styles, and they will consider each factor in detail when deciding their recommendation.
Here are a few of the factors a gutter guard company will consider when choosing 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 usage and some are designed to last as long as your gutters will. The construction plays a key factor in how long gutter guards will last.
Installation method – The style of gutter guards we would recommend for a homeowner to install on their own is the drop in type that don’t require any fastening to the gutters. Installing other types, including snap-in and screw-on gutter guards, could destroy your gutters if they are not installed the right way.
Appearance – Many gutter guards offer a low profile so they aren’t visible from ground level, while some styles 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 type of gutters you have. If it is very important for you to have “invisible” gutter guards, it might be necessary to install new gutters too.
Warranty – Many gutter guard styles will come with a shorter warranty, but most of the aluminum types are guaranteed for at least 10-20 years. By hiring a licensed gutter guard installation company in Bowie (instead of doing it on your own), you won’t void your warranty. Gutter guards should not lift your shingles, nor should their installation void your roof’s warranty.
Another great thing about having Pure Clean Gutters install your new 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 deciding which gutter guards you will have installed. We offer a range of options for every budget, and will provide the benefits listed above, to one degree or another.
