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
