How To Choose a Gutter Installer
Thoroughly evaluate gutter installers before picking one. This helps you avoid overinflated prices and low-quality work. When researching gutter installation companies, look for these qualities:
Assess Their Experience
When looking for gutter installation, it's advisable to opt for a local provider that's served your area for many years, ideally decades. A provider's expertise on the area's climate, weather, and popular home styles helps it assess your needs and get you the right gutters for your home. These well-established providers employ time-tested methods to enable safe, effective gutter installation.
Verify Proper Licensing and Insurance
Only hire a provider that's fully licensed, bonded, and insured. Ask to see copies of their license, bonds, and insurance documentation upfront before committing. Proper certification and insurance protects you from liability and indicates that the company is operating legally.
Check Reviews and Referrals
Read online reviews on sites such as Yelp, Google, and the Better Business Bureau. Confirm that the company provides quality work and good customer service. Look for long-term happy customers to gain insight into a provider's dependability. Watch for red flags like poor communication or incomplete jobs. All our recommended providers have a high number of reviews with a good average rating.
Choose Reputable Brands
Choose a company that's been certified through the gutter manufacturer. You'll want an installer that is formally trained to complete all gutter installations per the manufacturer's specifications in order to get the best results.
Examine Warranties
Only use companies that offer strong manufacturer guarantees on supplies as well as their own installation guarantees. Look for 5-10 year warranties on basic aluminum gutters and 1 to 3 years on labor.
Gutter Installation Materials
Go for resilient materials – for example, heavy-gauge aluminum – that won't decay, rust, or warp over time. Materials that can handle Flagstaff’s weather are key. Be sure any paints and finishes also have an equally lengthy lifespan.
Questions to Ask
Be sure to ask detailed questions when evaluating gutter installers. Inquire about details like these:
- What are the specific warranty details for materials and workmanship? Quality materials are often backed by 5–10 year warranties. Labor is typically back by a 1-3 year guarantee.
- Will you provide a detailed quote for both full gutter replacement and fixes for problem areas? Get quotes in writing from companies, so you know exactly what the total cost of gutter installation will be before the work begins.
- Can you also install gutter guards? Gutter guards help prevent blockages that occur due to leaves, twigs, and other debris falling into your gutters.
- How will you ensure the new gutters have the right slope and pitch to avoid standing water? Proper pitch and slope significantly decreases the likelihood of overflow. Your installer should know how to correctly align your gutter system with your home’s roofing specifications.
- How will you ensure a smooth integration with my existing roof? See whether steps like underlayment replacement are included.
- How long is the full installation process? Most companies can complete installations in about 24 hours.
- What materials are best for my gutters based on my specific home style and the local weather conditions? Factors such as Flagstaff's average snowfall, rainfall, and the risk of inclement weather in your area will influence the type and size of gutter that's best for you. Learn the benefits and drawbacks of each gutter material.
Taking the steps to thoroughly vet and evaluate multiple companies will help you choose the best gutter installer for your home. Installing new gutters now helps prevent more expensive water and structural damage in the future.
