Gutter guards can be a smart investment to protect your home from clogs, water damage, and extra maintenance. If you’re considering having them installed, here’s a simple breakdown of what the process typically looks like.
Step 1: The Initial Inspection
Assessing Your Current Gutter System
A technician will examine your current gutters to ensure they’re in good condition. If there are any repairs needed—like sagging or leaks—those are usually addressed before installation begins.
Measuring and Planning
Next, measurements are taken to ensure the gutter guards fit perfectly. The installer will also determine which type of guard best suits your home and roofline.
Step 2: Cleaning the Gutters
Clearing Out Debris
Before installing any guards, gutters must be completely cleaned out. This means removing all leaves, dirt, and standing water to make sure the system functions properly after the guard is installed.
Flushing and Testing
In many cases, a light flush is done with water to check for blockages or incorrect pitch.
Step 3: Installation of the Gutter Guards
Fitting and Securing
The gutter guards are fitted onto the system and secured tightly using clips, screws, or a snap-in system—depending on the style chosen.
No Roof Damage
A good installer will never lift shingles or damage your roof during this process. It’s all done using tools and methods that protect the integrity of your home.
Step 4: Final Check and Cleanup
System Check
Once the guards are on, the system is tested to make sure water flows correctly and the guards are secure.
Leaving Your Property Clean
All leftover debris, packaging, and tools are cleaned up, leaving your property looking just as good as it did before the work started.
How Long Does It Take?
For most homes, gutter guard installation can be completed in one day. Larger homes or more complex rooflines might take a little longer, but it’s generally a quick and easy process.
Why It’s Worth It
Having gutter guards installed means less time cleaning your gutters and more peace of mind during storms or heavy leaf fall. Plus, it helps extend the life of your gutter system.
