Gutter Guard Installation Services in Hollywood, Fort Lauderdale, Pompano Beach, and the Surrounding Areas of Florida
Gutters are designed to direct rainwater away from your home, but they are vulnerable to failure if the gutters become blocked with leaves, debris, or ice. Rainwater cascading down a house’s roof can wash sticks, leaves, mud, and other debris into gutters and downspouts, clogging them and preventing water from flowing harmlessly away from your home. That is why Brothers Gutter offers comprehensive gutter guard installation services throughout the Hollywood, FL, area.
What Do Gutter Guards Do?
Gutter guards are intended to prevent these house calamities by preventing leaves and debris from entering the gutters. These allow rainwater to enter your gutter while keeping leaves, vermin, and other unpleasant stuff out. Without enough protection, leaves and debris can clog your gutters and, eventually, your downpipes.

Are Gutter Guards Worth It?
The most important reason to install gutter guards is to save yourself the time, money, and hassle of dealing with clogged or overflowing gutters. They cannot prevent every problem, but they can make your life easier in many instances.
If you have encountered or are concerned about any of the following situations, the cost of installing gutter guards may be worth it:
Pest Infestations
Pests might create a home in your gutters if you don’t have gutter guards. Mice, squirrels, bats, and birds, for example, can make nests in them. Spiders may weave webs and deposit eggs, while mosquitos may take advantage of the damp conditions. Aside from any other issues these pests may create, their presence might clog or damage your gutters. Gutter guards assist by making your gutters less inviting and more difficult to reach.
Ice Dams and Frozen Gutters
If you reside in a cold climate, any water that does not drain from your gutters may freeze. If the snow on your roof melts, flows down to the gutters, and then refreezes, your gutters may produce ice dams. Gutter guards assist by reducing obstructions and enhancing water flow, allowing melted snow to drain effectively rather than refreezing.
Brush Fires
Gutters clogged with dried leaves and pine needles can catch fire, especially if you live in a wildfire-prone area. Embers can fly through the air, land in your gutters, and ignite the garbage. Gutter guards aid in the prevention of debris buildup by establishing a physical barrier between wind-blown embers and any debris that finds its way into your gutters.
Clogged Gutters
When your gutters become clogged, you must spend time, money, or both to resolve the situation before it worsens. The weight of stored water and soggy debris, for example, can cause your gutters to sag or slide away from your house. They are also susceptible to rust and leakage. Gutter guards of high quality can greatly decrease or eliminate blockages, resulting in less frequent maintenance and repairs.
Overflowing Water
Clogged gutters can result in a variety of water damage. They can overflow, causing soil erosion, foundation cracks, and basement flooding, or they can back up into your roof and ceiling, causing water damage. Mold and mildew can begin to grow as water finds its way into places it should not be. The runoff can even erode your landscaping by carving trenches through it. Gutter guards serve to keep clog-causing vermin and debris out of gutters, preventing water damage.

Which Type of Gutter Guard is Best?
We started our research into gutter guards when they first came to market to determine which type is the best, based on cost, efficiency, installation, and other factors. We concluded that mesh topped the market in quality and decided to get into the market and install them ourselves. Throughout this new venture, we found that many homeowners preferred mesh gutter guards as they provide great protection and require less maintenance. However, not all of them are created equally, so we strive to provide the right solution for each homeowners’ specific situation.
Why We Choose Mesh Gutter Guards
Mesh covers are great for directing water off the roof, into the gutter, downspout, and away from your foundation. They’re also an excellent choice because their small holes filter out all kinds of dirt. Micro-mesh gutter covers are great for preventing debris like pine needles and shingle granules from entering your gutters and clogging them. Stainless steel micro-mesh gutter guards are also the most durable coverings on the market. These long-lasting guards are made of excellent materials and can survive extreme weather conditions and pests for more than 20 years. While mesh does not eliminate the need for gutter cleaning, they do reduce the amount of gutter cleaning required each year.
