At J&A Exterior, we know firsthand that keeping gutters clear is one of the most important things you can do to protect your home. But constant cleaning and clogged gutters can cause big headaches. That’s where gutter guards come in.
If you’re wondering whether it’s time to install gutter guards on your home, here are some clear signs to look for:

🍂 You’re Cleaning Your Gutters Constantly
Frequent Clogs Are a Red Flag
If you find yourself on a ladder several times a year clearing out leaves, twigs, and debris, that’s a strong sign you need a better solution. Gutter guards keep most debris out and greatly reduce how often you’ll need to clean.
🌧️ Water Is Overflowing During Rainstorms
Overflow Means Blockage
If you see water pouring over the edges of your gutters instead of draining properly, your system could be clogged. Gutter guards help prevent clogs before they start, protecting your roof, siding, and foundation.

🛠️ You’ve Had to Repair Gutters More Than Once
Weight from Debris Causes Damage
When gutters get weighed down with soggy leaves and standing water, they can bend, sag, or pull away from the house.If you’ve already had to pay for repairs, it’s time to protect your investment with gutter guards.
🐦 You’re Seeing Pests in Your Gutters
Gutters Become a Home for Animals
Birds, squirrels, insects, and even snakes can make a cozy home inside clogged gutters. Gutter guards act as a barrier against nesting pests, keeping your home safer and cleaner.
🏡 You Want to Protect Your Home’s Foundation
Water Damage Starts at the Roofline
When gutters overflow, water pools around your home’s foundation. Over time, this can cause serious cracks and settling issues. Gutter guards help maintain proper water flow away from your house, protecting one of your biggest investments.
