Gutter Guards (leaf guards) add market value to your home and prolong its useful life (3 reasons)!
1. "Restoration" - Leaf Guards Restore Optimal Efficiency
When you cover your gutters with our permanently-mounted gutter guards, you instantly restore the gutter system to its ordinarily efficient operating condition. Our gutter guards improve the performance and efficiency of your gutter system by allowing water to continuously drain through the gutters and downspouts as intended. When gutters are not covered, clogs inevitably can form which results in an overflowing gutter system. Water will then collect inside the gutter system and/or directly below the gutter system near your foundation. The result of this over time can be catastrophic damage especially during winter months when freezing occurs resulting in costly foundation cracking, settling and heaving over time. This is an avoidable event that can significantly impact your property’s value, but it can also lead to water intrusion, water damage and even eventual mold growth further reducing the market value of your property. Our gutter guards restore the optimal efficiency to your gutter system.
2. "Betterment" - Leaf Guards Improve Gutter Systems
Our leaf guards increase the quality, strength, efficiency and performance of your gutter system.
Clogged gutter systems result in water pooling and overflowing directly onto your fascia, soffits, trim and siding. Water can potentially enter into the home walls if it gets behind the j-channel on top of your soffit directly below where the gutters are mounted and cause significant damage and rot.
During winter months, clogs can freeze leading to problematic ice dams. Ice dams form when melting snow and ice meets frozen snow and ice above your soffit and gutters. Gutter guards make your gutter system better by preventing clogs, prolonging its clog-free durable life, and increasing its strength.
3. "Adaptation" - Leaf Guards Reduce Gutter-System Maintenance.
Our leaf guards change how your gutter system is being used. A clean and open "uncovered" gutter system will channel water; however, gutters with guards take on the additional new task of shielding your gutters from debris thereby preventing clogs in your gutter system.
While leaf guards can require some occasional maintenance especially during heavy leaf build-up of the Fall season, the maintenance is far less than a conventional gutter system with no gutter guards. The reduction in gutter system maintenance that gutter guards offer is an attractive feature for many home buyers, especially those with mobility issues who may not feel comfortable getting on a ladder to clean out debris.
JC Seamless Gutters installs permanently-mounted stainless steel and aluminum leaf guards that are attached to the top of the gutter and into the house fascia board. These metal guards are designed to last 20-40 years.
There are many leaf guard options on the market, many are temporary "clip-in" styles made of plastic that result in sags and compromised joints when the weight of leaves, branches and other debris accumulate them. This excess weight may cause them to pull away from the home and sag. Excessive weight and debris in the system can also cause joints to become dislodged and leaks to form in the system.
JC Seamless Gutters installs top-quality aluminum and stainless steel leaf guards that are permanently fastened to the gutter and the house. Permanently-mounted aluminum and stainless-steel gutter guards are durable and can handle excess weight without sagging, moving, or separating. This prolongs the durable useful life of your gutter system adding market value to your home.

Gutter guards are also called: leaf filters, gutter filters, gutter screens, gutter covers, and leaf guards. These gutter covers or gutter guards have progressed through multiple design prototypes with varied materials over the past 20 years. Choosing a quality gutter guard is a balance of durability, prevention of natural debris buildup, and proper handling of water flow.
The gutter guard industry has been saturated with great improvements. Some gutter guard designs use an all-aluminum design with punch out holes. These gutter guards or gutter covers come in black and mill-finish (aluminum) color. Black gutter guards tend to be the most popular and many manufactures offer a no-clog warranty with the product.

One key factor in choosing the right gutter guard is to consider the durability of the product. For example, there are many temporary "quick-fix" vinyl gutter covers sold online or in home improvement stores that simply don't hold up to the rigors of New York winters nor do they stop debris from entering your gutters due to sagging, cracking and large seam openings. Choose a permanently-mounted gutter guard that is made from aluminum and stainless steel that won't rot, rust, corrode, crack or bend easily.
Secondly, look at the pitch of the roof. For example, steeper roofs with converging valleys will merit the need for a gutter guard that can handle heavier water flow.
Finally, look at the natural environment that surrounds the property. What types of trees are present. Consider only gutter guards or gutter covers that are screwed in place. This is especially important to tolerate wind, weight of debris and weight of snow and ice in the winter that can cause cheaper gutter covers to sag, crack and malfunction. The types of trees and foliage surrounding the structure is an important factor to look at. For example, are there oak tassels, acorns, oak tassels, maple helicopters, or pine needles? Stainless steel and aluminum micro-mesh offers great protection against pine needles and smaller debris than can enter in larger hole openings of other types of gutter covers.
