What are gutter guards and why would you want them?
Gutter leaf guards, also known as gutter covers or gutter screens, are devices installed over your gutters to prevent debris like leaves, twigs, and other debris from clogging them. At Lepanto Services, we use an all aluminum guard with a lifetime material guarantee, made in the USA. Designed to provide maximum water and air flow, they virtually eliminate gutter system maintenance. No need to worry about shingle damage, as our guards don’t interfere with the roof.
How they work:
- They create a barrier that allows rainwater to flow into the gutter while blocking larger debris. Installed with stainless steel screws, our guards will stand up to the pressures of Western New York weather.
Benefits:
- Reduced gutter cleaning: Significantly minimizes the need for manual gutter cleaning, saving time and effort.
- Prevents clogs: Clogged gutters can lead to water damage to your roof, fascia, foundation, and landscaping. Leaf guards prevent these clogs.
- Protects against pests: Clogged gutters can become breeding grounds for mosquitoes and other pests. Leaf guards help eliminate these areas.
- Extends gutter lifespan: By preventing debris buildup, leaf guards can help extend the life of your gutters.
- Reduces ice dam formation: In colder climates, clogged gutters can contribute to ice dam formation, which can cause significant damage. Leaf guards can help prevent this.
Caveats:
- Some trees produce debris material that may not be filtered properly by gutter guards, such as pine needles. Get in touch with us today to see if gutter leaf guards are the right solution for your property.
- Although our gutter leaf guards offer an affordable installation, their true value—eliminating years of annual cleanings—becomes evident over time.
