NEED GUTTER GUARDS?
What are Gutter Guards?
Gutters are fairly basic and affordable considering how important they are: protecting much more valuable parts of your house. Gutters help keep rain water off the siding, windows, porch, deck and basement, routing it away from your house.
Therefore, anything that can protect your gutters and helps them work more efficiently is a smart investment.
Gutter guards are an inexpensive feature you can add to any type of gutters, and they work as a protective barrier for gutters so large debris and pests can’t get inside of them. Purchasing leaf guards can be a money-saving choice that you’ll thank yourself for year after year.
There are several types of gutter guard. The type you choose to install will depend on your budget and the type of gutters you have. 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 themselves. But in the long run, you will save time and money installing them. Here are some of the reasons we encourage you to install gutter guards on your home:
Improve Drainage by Preventing Clogs – Gutter guards keep debris out of your gutters. Otherwise larger pieces of debris settle in the gutter first, then smaller pieces of debris collect around them. Of all the many gutter guard styles, all of them block these larger pieces of debris from getting stuck to begin with.
Reduce Mold & Mildew Growth – Gutter guards allow water to flow through the gutters quickly because it isn’t blocked by any large debris. Water is one of the primary causes of mold and mildew growth, therefore 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 rain gutters and off the roof is often a constant battle. Every style of gutter guard stops animals from building nests inside of the gutter. A lot of homeowners choose to install gutter guards for no other reason than this.
Gutter Cleaning Less Often – Gutter guards must be removed to clean the gutters, but if they are installed, this project won’t have to be done nearly as frequently. Leaf guards cut down the frequency that you need to clean gutters – or have someone to do it for you – so that you might only have to have them cleaned out once each year.
Protection From Fires – A typical way fires spread to homes is if embers fall into gutters where there is dry debris. This debris fuels the fire until it grows and damages the roof, followed by the entire house. A standard 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 prevent snow and ice from staying up on your roof. Their designs purposefully redirect melting snow and ice to get it off your roof much faster.
These are all problems that affect hundreds of thousands of American homes each year. Gutter guards protect an important system that protects the rest of your home. If you’ve never considered installing them before, it may be time to think about it.

Professional Gutter Guard Installation
You can see, there are several benefits of gutter guards. While it may be tempting to run out and buy the type you think will work best – how much different could they really be, right? – you still have to install them properly. All things considered, you’re much better off letting a professional gutter guard installation company do the job for you.
Not only will their installation be much more reliable than your DIY work, but a professional gutter guard service and installer is going to be able to recommend the best type of gutter system for your house in the first place. They are familiar with all of the options, and they will consider each factor when deciding their recommendation.
Here are some of the things a gutter guard service will take into account when determining the best gutter guards for your home:
Material – Gutter guards can be made of aluminum, plastic, foam or a handful of different materials. Some gutter guards are designed for temporary use and others are built to last just as long as your gutters. The material plays a key factor in how long the gutter guards will last.
Installation method – The type of gutter guards we would suggest for a homeowner to install on their own is the drop in type that don’t require fastening to the gutters. Installing other types, including snap-in and screw-on gutter guards, can destroy your gutters if they are not installed correctly.
Appearance – Some gutter guards offer a low profile so they aren’t visible from ground level, while some styles are visible. If that is an important requirement, you are limited on the style of gutter guard you can install, and limited even more by the style of gutters you have on your home. If it is important for you to have “invisible” gutter guards installed, it may be necessary for you to install new gutters as well.
Warranty – Most gutter guard styles will come with a shorter manufacturer’s warranty, but most of the aluminum types are guaranteed for 10-20 years. By hiring a licensed gutter guard installation company in San Ramon (instead of doing it on your own), you won’t void your warranty. Gutter guards should not lift your shingles, nor should the installation void your roof’s warranty.
Another great thing by having Simply San Ramon Gutters install your gutter guards is that we’ll come back and repair them free of charge if there is an issue related to the installation from our team.
Your budget is, of course, the final factor in deciding the gutter guards you will have installed. We offer a range of options for all budgets, and will provide the benefits listed above, to one degree or another.
