What Are Gutter Guards?<\/span><\/h3>\n

Gutter guards are designed to minimize gutter cleaning. They cover the gutter to keep out debris and allow rainwater and snow to flow freely through and away from your home.<\/span><\/p>\n

What Are The Five Types Of Gutter Guards?<\/span><\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Screen gutter guards<\/b> are the most common and inexpensive type. However, they don\u2019t filter out smaller items like pine needles.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Foam gutter guards<\/b> are extremely porous foam strips, inserted in the gutter. Water will pass through the foam, but solids will be trapped on the top.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Brush gutter guards <\/b>are similar to foam. They are placed inside the gutter, allowing only water to pass. <\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Micromesh gutter guards<\/b> have tiny holes in them, which allows them to filter out almost every size of debris. *This should ONLY be installed by an experienced roofing pro*<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Surface tension gutter guards <\/b>are curved covers that guide water into the gutters and solids on the floor of your home.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
