Ensuring the Quality of Your Gutter Guards

Every product has its limitations, including gutter guards. That doesn’t mean, however, that you can’t find a particular gutter guard model that would work well for your particular situation. Since gutter guards will be installed in your home by a contractor, it’s important to assess the quality of both product and service to ensure your gutter guard system will serve you for many years to come. Below are the considerations to keep in mind when selecting the right gutter guard system for your home:

Design

You don’t want a gutter guard that doesn’t work properly in your location or can’t withstand medium to heavy rain conditions. Look for gutter guard designs that have been around for several years. This means that the design works for a wide array of applications, and installation methods fit various conditions across the country. It could also mean that the designer was able to work out the kinks and develop a truly workable model.

After-Installation Service

Even with the proper installation of a quality product, some adjustments may still need to be made over time. Find an installer that’s willing to take care of service issues months after the guard has been installed. Reputable contractors will guarantee their work and have the details of their guarantee written down in contract. Talk to fellow customers about their experience working with a particular contractor.
