LeafFilter: Maine Gutter Guards Experts
Maine is known for its snowy winters and mild summers, with average annual temperatures sitting between 25ºF and 70ºF. Cold and humid, Maine is also prone to heavy rain and snow, with annual precipitation hitting 40” regularly and average snowfall sitting at a whopping 50” to 70”. To deal with Maine’s extreme weather conditions, gutter guard installation is recommended.
LeafFilter’s gutter guards are a patented three-piece gutter system, including structural fascia board hangers for added resistance. Made of durable materials such as stainless steel, they’re ideally prepared to deal with Maine’s cold, snowy winters and prevent resulting issues such as clogs, water damage, and landscaping erosion.
In addition to the rain and snow, Maine is also extremely vulnerable to gutter clogs because of its dense vegetation. Considered to be one of the best states in America to watch the Fall foliage, Maine is home to a large population of trees. Trees shed debris such as seed pods and pine needles, and such can cause blockages to gutters and downspouts once carried by the wind, making gutter protection even more important.
Why Use Gutter Guards in Maine?
By keeping debris out, gutter guards help to prevent clogs inside your gutters and significant water damage that can result, such as rotting fascia boards, flooded basements and cracking foundations. Gutter guards also prevent pine buildup, which is a serious concern in Maine’s leafy, snowy climate.
So how do you choose the best gutter guards in Maine? Here are some important questions to ask when choosing a gutter guard.
- How well do they keep leaves and debris out of gutters? Gutter guards should keep most leaves, pine needles and other debris from clogging gutters. The best gutter guards block debris as small as pollen and shingle grit from entering your gutters.
- Do they fit your existing gutters? Homeowners in Maine want to know if a particular gutter guard brand will properly fit their current gutter type and size.
- Are they durable? High quality gutter guards are made of durable materials like surgical grade stainless steel micromesh and uPVC frames that won’t warp or deteriorate.
- Will they prevent ice dams? Some specially designed gutter guards can help minimize ice buildup in cold climates.
- Do they come with a warranty? Good gutter guard brands often come with warranties against defects or clogging. The best gutter guard solutions are backed by a lifetime warranty.
Frequently Asked Questions About Maine Gutter Guards
What’s the best type of gutter guard for Maine homeowners?
LeafFilter’s micro-mesh guards are the best type of gutter guard for Maine homeowners. While alternatives such as gutter covers, characterized by their reverse-curve design, and DIY screens are also affordable, they just don’t offer the level of protection required to deal with Maine’s extreme winters. By doing the job well, high-quality gutter guards facilitate gutter maintenance and increase the lifespan of existing gutters, so they end up becoming the best cost-benefit solution in the end.
Why are Maine’s winters so dangerous for gutters?
Maine’s winters cause all sorts of gutter problems because it snows up to 70” annually in the state. Snow accumulated in the gutters gives way to ice dams that stop the water flow and lead to clogged gutters. This, paired with debris buildup resulting from high wind speeds, can expose Maine homeowners to multiple issues, including water damage, pest infestations, and mold and mildew growth.
What’s the best season for gutter guard installation in Maine?
The best season is the summer because it comes right after the gutter cleaning season succeeding the spring. The nice weather experienced in the summer also makes installation more convenient. Finally, opting for gutter guard installation in the summer is great because it prepares homes for the Fall foliage and winter’s snow.
