Frequently Asked Questions About Gutter Guards
What is gutter protection?
Gutter protection is a system of durable screens that cover the tops of gutters. These gutter guards allow water to flow into the gutters while keeping debris out. Debris includes leaves, twigs, seedpods, dirt, shingle granules, and bugs.
What are the screen guards made of?
Gutter PROtection Inc. professionals install panels of strong stainless-steel mesh. The mesh is designed to resist surface tension and accept large volumes of water. Most homeowners select steel-framed mesh, but we also offer zinc frames (to prevent moss and algae accumulations) and copper frames (for aesthetics and increased durability). We even offer heated frames that prevent ice buildup and the accumulation of icicles.
How much does it cost to have gutter guards installed?
We get this question all the time, of course. The answer varies according to the size of the home, the frame option selected, and the ease or difficulty of installation. Call us to schedule an estimate visit. A Gutter PROtection expert will visit your home, take measurements, and give you a quote.
Do I have to get new gutters to get the gutter guard system?
No. We install gutter filters on existing gutters. We do recommend gutters be cleaned before installation of the mesh panels, and we provide gutter cleaning as an additional service.
What other services do you provide besides gutter filter installation?
Gutter PROtection Inc. offers several other services.
- Gutter cleaning
- Gutter repair
- Gutter installation
- Gutter replacement
How much do these additional services cost?
The cost of our additional services varies according to the service being provided, the size of the house or building, and the materials being used. A Gutter PROtection Inc. professional will make an on-site visit to take measurements and give a quote. This visit does not cost you anything.
Will you clean my gutters even if I’m not buying the gutter guards?
Yes. We understand that not everyone wants gutter covers, and not everyone wants to climb up a ladder and clean out their own gutters. We provide gutter cleaning services whether or not you purchase our guards and installation.
Do you charge anything to give an estimate?
No. Our estimates are free. Sometimes we can give an estimate by looking at photographs, but most often, a Gutter PROtection professional will make an on-site visit. We do not charge anything for the visit. We hope we will gain your gutter cover installation business, but whether we do or not, the estimate is free.
