UNDERSTANDING THE IMPORTANCE OF GUTTER GUARDS FOR YOUR HOME

In our inspections throughout Greater Charlotte Area, we often find that gutter guards are one of the most overlooked elements of a home’s exterior protection.

At New Old Remodeling, we’ve seen how quality gutter guards can:

• Prevent thousands of dollars in water damage
• Stop foundation problems before they start
• Reduce landscape erosion
• Extend the life of your gutter system

They also cut down on maintenance—meaning fewer cleanings and less chance of clogs.

WHY THEY MATTER

During a typical rainstorm, the average roof can shed over 600 gallons of water per hour.

Without properly functioning, debris-free gutters, this water can:

• Pool around your foundation
• Seep into basements
• Damage landscaping

Installing quality gutter guards is one of the most effective ways to protect that investment.

TYPES OF GUTTER GUARD SYSTEMS WE INSTALL

Not all gutter guards are created equal. We help you select the right system for your home’s environment and budget.

Popular options include:

• Micro-mesh guards – Tiny holes block pine needles and shingle grit; stainless steel mesh with aluminum frame for durability
• Reverse curve guards – Use surface tension to direct water in while debris slides off; great for heavy leaf fall areas
• Screen guards – Cost-effective expanded metal or plastic screens that sit on top of existing gutters
• Needle guards – Designed for homes surrounded by pine trees, offering fine filtration

We recommend solutions that cut costs without cutting corners.

PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION MAKES THE DIFFERENCE

The performance of any gutter guard depends on how it’s installed.

We start with a complete system evaluation, checking for:

• Proper slope (¼ inch per 10 feet)
• Secure gutter attachment
• Adequate downspout capacity
• Existing damage or leaks
• Our installation process includes:
• Thorough cleaning and inspection
• Precise measuring and custom fitting of guards
• Secure attachment using roof-safe fasteners
• Water flow testing to ensure proper drainage
