Needing to clean your gutters multiple times a year can be a big hassle, from the time needed to the safety risks involved with getting up on a ladder. However, neglecting gutter care can cause a host of problems. Undisturbed gutters make appealing homes for bees and birds, and debris-filled gutters can become food for roaches. Stagnant water sitting in your gutters can lead to growth of mildew and mold, and clogged gutters can overflow, resulting in water damage to your home and lawn.
While some types of gutter guards can be installed yourself, you may be concerned about the amount of effort it will take and whether the guards you install will last a long time — in this case, employing a local Hoffman Estates gutter guard installer will be your smartest choice.

By investing time and money into adding gutter guards, you and your Hoffman Estates property will reap the benefits for years to come. Most importantly, gutter guards decrease the amount of time you will have to spend on gutter cleaning. There is no device that will eliminate the need to clean your gutters, but with gutter guards you will spend less time on this task, or less money on a gutter services company.
Some other benefits of gutter guards include reduced gutter overflow, which mitigates the chance of water damage and mold growth on your lawn and your house. Gutters that don't fill with standing water are less prone to premature corrosion or rust, which will over time save you money on repair and replacement services. Gutters that are covered avoid becoming homes for beehives and birds' nests, and avoid the debris buildup that attracts roaches and other pests.
There are six common types of gutter guards. Foam and brush guards are easy to install yourself; mesh and screen guards can be installed yourself, but generally should be professionally installed; and micro-mesh and surface tension guards will always require installation by a professional.
Each gutter guard type has its upsides and downsides, and the right kind for your house in Hoffman Estates will be decided by several factors. Reach out to one of Hoffman Estates' local gutter guard installation companies to hear more about the types of guards they offer and what kind is best for you.
The amount you will spend on gutter installation in Hoffman Estates will be partially based on some of the details of your property — things like the size of your house and the accessibility of your gutters. The amount you'll pay will also be a product of the variety of gutter guard you choose, as the price per linear foot does vary based on materials. Finally, the total cost will change based on whether you are installing the guards yourself, employing one of the local contractors around Hoffman Estates, or hiring a full-service gutter guard installer who operates in Illinois. The more you spend on gutter services, the more guidance the company will provide on the steps of the process, including measuring your gutters and picking a guard material.

If you are uncertain, a local Hoffman Estates gutter services professional can help with picking the optimal gutter guard type for you. They can help you measure your gutters, keeping costs down by stopping you from over-purchasing materials.

Generally, gutter guards are a good investment for any home. They can cut down on how much you spend on cleaning and repairs, prolong the life of your gutter system, and help your home look nicer. They lessen the risk of mold and mildew growth and stop your gutters from becoming host to pests like insects and birds. Additionally, when you decide to move somewhere new, gutter guards can add value to your property as you are trying to sell it.
Online reviews, including those posted on the BBB site, are a good place to begin when you're looking to verify the reputation of a gutter guard installation company in Hoffman Estates. When you speak with the gutter services professional directly, they should be able to explain how the job may or may not affect your roof warranty, and after they have completed an inspection they should provide a written estimate. The company should also provide you with information about their warranty policy in writing and provide proof of insurance, in case of the unlikely event that someone sustains an injury while on your property.
The gutter guard price per linear foot will vary based on the type of guards that you decide on. See our table above to estimate the price of gutter guards based on the size of your gutter system and the material you pick. Depending on the style of guard you choose, you may also have to factor in labor costs.
There are a number of companies that will install both gutters and gutter guards. The fastest way to discover if a company offers these services and get an estimated price is by reaching out to them directly. (You should also check if they made it onto our list of best gutter service companies around Hoffman Estates.) We suggest contacting at least two of the companies on our list above to ask about what services they offer and compare prices if you need this sort of gutter overhaul.
Some companies will remove the old gutter guards from your house in addition to installing new ones. Not every company offers this kind of package service, and the best way to ensure that your gutters get the care they need is to call one or two of the companies on our list to inquire about what services they offer.
