Why You Need Gutter Guards on Your Gutters Right Now

https://safeharborexteriors.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/why-you-need-gutter-guards-on-your-gutters-right-now_606898fd02cf8.jpeg

Of the many chores that need to be done during the fall season, cleaning out the gutters is perhaps one of the most important, but, at the same time, most dreaded tasks. This is understandable as there are many risks to getting up on a ladder and dredging out the muck and debris inside the troughs. In the fall, when nearby trees are shedding their greens, this job becomes even more important.

Thankfully, there is a way to keep your gutters safe from potential obstructions without ever needing to clean them manually again. Today, there are effective gutter protection systems that can keep your gutters and downspouts clog-free whatever season it may be. L

Time and Money

Clogged gutters can be dangerous. An inefficient roof drainage system can lead to frequent repairs or premature replacement. However, clearing away debris from your gutters can be as time-consuming as it is dangerous. Hiring a professional cleaner can save you this time, but at a cost. A gutter guard system saves you both time and money by keeping your gutters flowing freely with minimal or zero cleaning.

Preventing Problems

When gutters are unable to channel water sufficiently, you run the risk of ice dams forming on both your roof and your gutters. An effective gutter protection system can help prevent this problem by ensuring that melted snow in the winter is drained away completely away from your roof.

Protection Against Corrosion

Corroded or rusted gutters can often show up as ugly stains on your siding and fascia boards. In worst cases, corrosion can even lead to complete gutter failure. A gutter guard can help keep your gutters safe from this problem by ensuring that water does not pool inside the troughs.

Reviews

We talked to multiple companies while deciding who to use for the exterior of our home. Safe Harbor was transparent, fast, and offered James Hardie siding compared to all the other companies only offering vinyl. Safe Harbor was much more affordable than many of the other companies, who just wanted as much money as possible. We are extremely happy with our siding, soffit, fascia, flashing, gutters, windows and the guarantee that comes with their work. If there was any more work to be performed, without a doubt, we would chose safe Harbor again.

Safe Harbor installed James Hardie siding, soffits, and gutters. The install was meticulous and our home was left cleaner than when the company showed up. The level of detail in the install was beyond expectation! We are so pleased with the quality of the work and the professionalism of the install team!
