Tired of gutter cleaning.
Gutter guards not under shingles.
When water sits on a shingle like its doing here it can work its way under the shingles at every seam.
A voided warranty that is.
Most owners of shingle roofs are aware that screwing down gutter guards under the shingles is not a feasible option.
And logically it doesn t make sense.
If you plan on installing gutter guards on your own there are a number of different considerations you need to be aware of.
We ve never seen it.
Some homeowners think it is necessary to nail the gutter guard into either on top of or just beneath the roof s shingles.
Because shingle roofs are so beautiful and distinctive gutter guards that have to be placed under the 2nd or 3rd row of shingles will interfere with the classic appearance of heritage roofing.
Thick extruded products can t do this and often angle the shingle away from the subroof.
This will create damage on your roof shingles and therefore the shingles will no longer do their job at protecting your home properly from the intrusion of water.
Gutter guards can be an effective part of any rain gutter system as they work to filter out debris leaves and shingle grit preventing clogs and protecting your home from damages.
