Timing matters when installing gutter guards. Here's your complete seasonal guide for South Jersey.
Fall: The Ideal Season (September-November)
Why Fall is Best:
- Protects gutters before winter ice and snow
- Prevents leaf accumulation from fall foliage
- Comfortable weather for installation crews
- Ready for holiday lighting if desired
- Allows time to test before winter storms
Spring: Second Best Option (March-May)
Spring installation prepares your home for summer storms and heavy rains. It's also when homeowners notice winter damage that could have been prevented.
Winter & Summer: Possible But Not Ideal
While gutter guards can be installed year-round, extreme temperatures make installation more challenging and may extend project timelines.
