What should I do this week after storm debris hits my gutters?
Photograph and document the debris and any visible damage before cleaning. Then get a thorough cleaning and inspection so you know whether the gutters themselves were harmed. Compare the cleanup cost to your deductible before deciding to file.
Will insurance cover gutter guards after a storm?
Insurance rarely covers routine maintenance or preventative guards. It may cover sudden storm damage to an existing gutter system. Ask your adjuster which part of the claim, if any, applies to guards.
What should I check when hiring a pro for gutter guards?
Ask the pro for proof of licence and insurance, including workers' compensation coverage. Check that the quote lists the guard type and linear footage. Micro-mesh guards in Nashville typically run $15 to $30 per linear foot installed.
Do gutter guards help with shingle grit?
Micro-mesh guards can keep debris out while still allowing full water flow. This matters in Nashville, where shingle grit and granules can wash into gutters. Nashville averages about 50 inches of precipitation per year, so clear gutters matter for drainage.
