Guards need to be positioned correctly for optimal water flow and secured properly to withstand wind loads. Improper installation can actually cause problems like water overshooting or sections blowing off.Third, warranty protection. Our professional installation comes with workmanship warranties that DIY jobs don’t have. If something goes wrong, you’re covered. Plus, we can spot and address gutter issues before installing guards, ensuring your entire system works properly for years to come.
