Winter is coming! It’s time to prepare your home for the cold winter months. One thing you can do to protect your gutter system is by installing gutter guards. Gutter guards are designed to keep water from pooling in your gutters, which will help prolong their life of them and reduce clogs and leaks. There are many gutter guard brands on the market today but it’s important that you find one that best suits your needs based on where you live and what conditions you’ll be experiencing this winter.

They’re made from a variety of materials, including aluminum and gutter guard mesh. Gutter guards can also have an anti-rust coating to prevent corrosion from the elements in your area that will be helpful when you live in colder climates with salt on roads during winter months. They can attach directly onto gutters or they might even sit above them if the gutter height doesn’t allow for gutter guards to fit underneath them properly. Some styles are adjustable so you’ll need to check measurements based on where exactly you intend to put these guttering protectors before buying one.

The bottom line is – it’s important that this fall installation happens soon! If you already forgot because it was too hot out, don’t worry about waiting until late  November or December to do it. Just plan ahead and get gutter guards installed within the next three weeks so you’re prepared for colder weather!

Please remember that gutter guards must be removed during springtime so your gutters aren’t clogged with debris, which can cause water damage to your home’s foundation. You also don’t want all of this snow melting onto your roof at once because the weight could possibly collapse it if gutter protectors are still attached – not a good situation!

Choose the Right Gutter Guard

Choose the right type of gutter guard for your home – mesh or leaf protection  – and make certain you keep gutter protectors clear of leaves that will inevitably fall during the autumn months.

Mesh Gutter Guards

Mesh gutter guards are perfect for locations with winters that aren’t too harsh, but they’re still not 100% foolproof against ice dams. They also must be monitored to ensure no branches or debris get lodged in them – again, this could cause serious damage to your roof! Mesh gutter protection is designed so water can drain freely through it without clogging up, which makes it an ideal choice if you have a lot of trees near your home because fallen leaves won’t lodge inside mesh systems as much as leaf grates would. The tiny holes allow rainwater into the guttering system at all times instead of just when it’s actively raining, and gutter covers also protect your gutters from roots growing under the guttering system.
