To screen or not to screen? That is the question.

 Are gutter screens worth the investment? It depends.

It depends on the amount of foliage falling from your trees and if there are other debris catching in your gutters as well.  If your gutters are catching the big leaves but a lot of them, then the gutter screens should work very well for your gutter system.  In this case, gutter screens will reduce the number of cleanings a year.  This will save you both time and money.

However, if a lot of leaves are falling or if you have small leaves and pine needles catching in your gutters, then they will probably end up sitting on top of the gutter screens.  This would simply clog them and make it more difficult for water to drain properly.  If this is the case, then gutter screens are not a good idea.

As with anything in life, there is no 100% guarantee that gutter screens will be effective, but in some cases they are definitely a worthwhile investment.   In order to determine if gutter screens would be a good investment for your home, take a look at your gutters throughout the year to see how much foliage is falling. It is also important to pay attention during the winter season when the snow is falling to see if snow and ice are clogging your gutters.  Or get a professional opinion!

The best option would be to have a professional gutter technician come to your home to examine your gutter system.  Then the technician can determine if gutter screens would benefit your current gutter system.  If you are in the Westchester or Putnam county areas, contact Westchester Gutter Cleaning for a consultation today.
