Cleaning gutters is a time-consuming and occasionally dangerous task, and it likely does not make anyone's list of favorite chores. Neglecting your gutters, however, can cause even bigger problems down the line. Blocked gutters can overflow, can encourage the growth of mildew and mold, and can cause runoff damage to your home and yard. An untouched gutter can be an appealing home for bees and birds, and a debris-filled gutter might attract roaches.
If your home is in a place where there is a lot of rain — and Champaign absolutely qualifies, as it sits in the 55.8% percentile when it comes to average daily precipitation — then keeping your gutters protected becomes all that much more important, because they do more work than gutters on an average house.
To help you with completing the job quickly and correctly, we've compiled a list of the top gutter guard installation professionals in the Champaign area.

Getting gutter guards installed on your Champaign home provides both long- and short-term benefits. The biggest benefit is that putting gutter guards on your home reduces the need for gutter cleaning. While there is nothing that can eliminate the need for gutter cleaning, adding gutter guards greatly reduces the amount of time that you (or your local gutter service technicians) will have to spend on a ladder.
Additionally, gutter guards can help to keep pests out. Well-protected gutters avoid becoming home to beehives and birds' nests, and reducing debris buildup also helps discourage roaches and other pests that like to eat gutter waste. Guards also decrease the risk of mold growth and water damage and mitigate the likelihood of premature rust or corrosion on your gutters, which will save you money on repair and replacement.
There are six common types of gutter guards. Brush and foam guards are easy to install on your own; screen and mesh guards can be installed by yourself, but in most cases should be professionally installed; and micro-mesh and surface tension guards will always require professional installation.
Each gutter guard type has its pros and cons, and the right kind for your Champaign home will be decided by several factors. Get in touch with a local Champaign installer to hear more about the types of guards they carry and which type is best for your house.
The amount you spend on gutter guard installation in Champaign will be influenced by several factors. First is the variety of gutter guards you are going with — different materials cost different amounts per linear foot. Next you will need to decide whether you would prefer to install the guards on your own, to hire a local Champaign contractor, or to hire one of Illinois' full-service installation companies. A full-service company can offer more guidance when it comes to choosing a guard type and measuring your gutter system. Last but not least, there are the specific details of your home, including the size of your house and ease of access to the gutter system.
Contacting one or more companies from our list of best gutter service professionals and inquiring about a free inspection and estimate is the fastest way to get a feel for how much your gutter guard installation is going to cost.

Gutter guards help you save money and time spent on gutter cleaning and repairs, prolong your gutter system's lifespan, and make your home look nicer. Guards can help keep your gutters from turning into a home for pests like insects and birds and mitigate the risk of mold or mildew growth. They can also add value to your house if you decide to sell it. Overall, gutter guards are an excellent home investment.
Online reviews, including those on the BBB website, are a good place to begin when you want to learn about the reputation of a Champaign gutter guard installer. A reliable gutter services professional should be able to explain how installation does or does not affect your roof warranty, and after an inspection they should be able to give you an estimate in writing. The company should also be able to supply written information about their warranty policy and have evidence of insurance, in case of the unlikely event that someone sustains an injury on your property.
