Things to Consider Before Installing Gutter Guards

Dec 11, 2018 | Gutter Guards

Gutter Guard installation or removal can be a tedious task. Choosing a wrong company for gutter guard installation or doing it on your own could turn out to be expensive and sometimes waste of money. There are many factors which you need to consider before any gutter guard installation or removal.

Which Installer to Hire

Not everyone is experienced, or a professional when it comes to gutter guard installation, so do your research and choose a reputable company. Choosing the wrong gutter guard installation company to install your gutter guards could turn out to be expensive, a hassle or a complete waste of time and money, if the job is not done properly.

The Environment

Whether or not you get a choice in the sort of gutter guard you install, depends on your environment. For instance, if you live in a bushfire prone area then aluminium gutter guards MUST be installed. If the council rule doesn’t apply to your area, then you have the choice to install either HDPE plastic or aluminium gutter guards. Both these systems do exactly the same thing. However the metal version can better withstand flames and is also stronger.

The Budget

Gutter guard installation is not expensive in the long term, when you consider what it could potentially protect your home from. While the aluminium system is dearer than the plastic one, the life expectancy of metal is much longer, because it can better withstand the elements.

Product Performance

One of the most important roles of any material used in gutter guard installation is performance. The durability of the material used, will affect how each system works under the weather conditions. While metal systems will weather better on your roofline, plastic systems have the same function as still look good. Speak to our experts about a tried and tested gutter guard system that lasts.

Measurements

Before your gutter guards are installed, the lengths of all gutter and valleys, that you want protected, must be measured, allowing a little extra for overlapping. The differed types of roof and areas of protection, determine the width of the mesh.

The Look

We will make sure that the gutter guards, mesh and clips that we install for you, match the colour of your roof, prior to installation. The colour of the trim will match the existing gutter.

The guys cleaned up thoroughly at the end of the job. I must say we are very grateful to Eco for eliminating the problem we had, with water coming through the ceiling and now feel prepared for summer in knowing that the fallen leaves and branches from the taller trees will not collect in our gutters or catch fire.

Thanks Michael and Jacky for all your advice and for installing our gutter guards. The roof looks so much better now that the gutter guards have been installed and looks almost new again after the cleaning of the gutters. Our little uninvited guests can no longer make their home in our roof and we feel a lot safer that we're better protected against the threat of bushfires. Thank you for all your help.
