Are Rain Gutter Guards and Covers Worth It?

Do Seamless Gutter Screens and Covers Really Work?

Aftermarket rain gutter covers claim to slow down or stop debris from ever entering your water drainage system. This means that less cleaning and maintenance should be required but with an aftermarket system in place, other issues can arise. In fact, it’s really hard to inspect gutter systems with aftermarket gutter guards installed. This means that while your gutter guard system may seem to be working, there truly is no way to know for sure. This can lead to serious problems that would have been prevented with a built-in gutter protection system.

Benefits of Aftermarket Gutter Covers Aren’t All Inclusive

The primary benefit of gutter screens and covers of all varieties is that they are designed to stop leaves, twigs, and other debris from entering your system. When it comes to aftermarket rain gutter covers, these will potentially save you money initially as they can be installed without a complete gutter replacement. Instead, they are installed directly on top of your existing gutters to create a barrier against all unwanted debris. However, this means that if installed improperly, they can still cause significant damage to your seamless gutter system.
