Are you tired of dragging a ladder out of the garage just to prop it up against the house, climb up, and then remove copious amounts of leaves from your gutters? One can hardly blame you, it’s not the most exciting chore out there. Gutter covers and guards are one option for making this chore a thing of the past. These products add a filter over the gutters so debris finds it much harder to make its way inside.
Price of Gutter Covers
The first thing to consider is the cost of labor that will be removed when you have these guards installed. In perfect circumstances, a homeowner can expect to clean their gutters at least twice a year: once when the leaves have fallen in autumn and once in the spring when pods, petals, and buds are on the air.
The price of installation for gutter guards is going to depend on a few things. Mainly you will want to consider where you live, what type of guards are fitting for your home, and what length your gutters are. In an average case, you might expect to pay over $1,000 to $2,000 for professional installation, although it can be higher or lower.
You should also keep in mind that different types of guards are available. These are mainly broken down into the categories of inserts, screens, and reverse curves. Each is useful for certain locations and situations. A professional contractor can help you determine what best fits the needs of your home.
Worth the Price?
It might seem like the installation of these guards is expensive, but you have to remember you are saving money on labor by not having to spend nearly as much time cleaning your own gutters. If it takes you hours to scoop out all the leaves, seeds, and debris from your gutters each year, the price may not be prohibitive at all.
That said, guards will not make maintenance entirely disappear. Many experts still suggest that you clean out the gutters twice a year. However, by using guards you will have far less to clean out than someone without this protection which can be a time saver.
