Do you really need to install gutter guards?
That is a very good question and a lot of people contact us for a quick advice. Gutter protectors, and usually called gutter caps are invented to protect your gutters from cloggings or damages. No debris can get into the elbows and water will drain freely every time when it rains.

You can read all the steps that we will mention here in this article and decide if you would like to try to do installation on your own:

To start with, you need to choose a product that you want to use and see what colour will fit on your gutter system. We will definitely recommend aluminium product with painted coating for protection and you can find them in one of the big hardware stores.
Second important step is to pay attention to the size since gutter guards come in 4-inch, 5-inch and 6-inch width. Make sure you buy cutting tools for corners and also zinc screws(they don’t get rust), and proper bits for your drill.
Eye and hand protection is very important part of the entire process. We would suggest you using Gorilla Grip disposable gloves which you can find at painting department of each big painting store.
Make sure you have proper ladders and pay attention to the weight capacity on each of them. If you are afraid of heights and you need to use 32 foot ladder, please stay away from that project and hire a professional!!! Ladder stabiliser is a must and you can read carefully how to use it before you start.
Don’t forget that you are weather dependent and you need to look for a warm day, because your shingles are more flexible and easy to lift. Avoid rainy days because it is very slippery and dangerous. Very hot days is not a great idea, due to the fact you might be attacked by hornets or bees.

We have a lot of successfully finished projects in Massachusetts and today we did a three story house in Arlington MA. House had two rows of seamless gutters and some on the porch roof. Technicians spent the entire day to do gutter cleaning first and proceeded with the installation after that.

We offer 2 types of gutter guards and both options are great:

Vinyl snap-in covers are a good option if your budget is restricted and if your gutters are regular white 5-inch wide. They will fit perfectly your home, although they are not pretty fancy.
Second option is metal covers that are screw-in and they are suitable for darker colour gutter systems or copper gutter system. If you own a contemporary style house you might want to consider this option.

Either way you choose, give us a call at 781-333-8758 and we will help. We at HiCleaners have more that 30 years of experience.
