Gutter Services
Most of the San Tan Valley gutter installation companies we recommend are full-service. Some of the many services they provide include:
- Gutter guard installation: Gutter guards help stop plant matter from clogging up your downspouts. No matter the age or style of your gutter system, a local gutter guard company can install the right guards for them.
- Repair: Whether you're dealing with sagging, mold, holes, cracking, or loose sections, an experienced San Tan Valley gutter professional can identify and resolve your gutter issues quickly.
- Cleaning: Regular gutter cleaning is important for success, but it's not the most pleasant job to do on your own. A professional can handle the cleaning for you to help prevent clogging, overflowing, and warping.
- Installation: An expert technician can help you install a new gutter system safely while protecting your roof's warranty.
If you're particularly satisfied with a company's workmanship, ask if they offer long-term contracts for installation, cleaning, and repairs. These packages are usually billed either monthly or annually.
How To Choose a Gutter Installer
Research potential gutter installers carefully before hiring to avoid overpaying or dealing with shoddy work. Here’s what to look for when evaluating gutter installation companies:
Assess Their Experience
Look for an established local provider with years, or ideally decades, of gutter installation experience under their belt. An experienced provider understands your local climate and weather as well as local home architecture styles and can help you find the best gutters for your home. It will also have proven practices for safe and efficient gutter installation.
Verify Proper Licensing and Insurance
Make sure to choose a company with the proper credentials. Ask to see licensing, bonding, and insurance documentation before committing to a contract. Current credentials mean that a company follows best practices and local regulations, giving you peace of mind.
Check Reviews and Referrals
Look through online reviews on sites such as Google, the Better Business Bureau, and Yelp. Check that the company provides quality work and great customer service. Look for long-term happy customers to gain insight into a provider's dependability. Watch for red flags like unresolved complaints or incomplete jobs. All our recommended providers have a high number of reviews with a good average rating.
Choose Reputable Brands
Choose a gutter installer that's certified by the gutter maker, as this means the professional meets the manufacturer's standards and knows how to install gutters according to the manufacturer's specifications. This helps ensure the best results.
Examine Warranties
You should only pick companies that offer solid manufacturer guarantees on materials, plus their own installation warranties. Look for 5 to 10 year guarantees on basic aluminum gutters and 1-3 years of labor coverage.
Gutter Installation Materials
Pick long-lasting materials like heavy-gauge aluminum that won't rust, decay, or warp over time. The right materials will be able to withstand the weather in San Tan Valley. Make sure any paints and finishes have an extended lifespan, too.
Questions to Ask
Be sure to ask specific questions when comparing gutter installers. You'll want to ask questions including these:
- How will you make sure there’s smooth integration with my existing roofing? Look for companies that consider steps such as underlayment replacement.
- What steps do you take to ensure my new gutters have the optimal pitch and slope to avoid standing water? Proper slope and pitch helps prevent overflow. Your provider should know how to align your gutter system with your home’s roof.
- How long will the full installation process take? Most companies are able to get installations done in about 24 hours.
- What materials are recommended for my gutters based on my specific home style and the local weather conditions? Factors such as San Tan Valley's typical annual rainfall and the risk of inclement weather in your area will affect the size and type of gutter you should get. Learn the pros and cons of each gutter material.
- What are the specific warranty details for materials and labor? Quality materials usually have 5–10 year warranties. Labor is normally back by a 1-3 year guarantee.
- Are you also able to install gutter guards? Gutter guards help prevent blockages that occur due to leaves and other falling debris.
- Can you provide a detailed quote for both problem area fixes and full gutter replacement? Get estimates in writing to make sure you know the price of your gutter installation before the job begins.
Doing your research to evaluate and compare multiple companies will help you select the best gutter installation company. Investing in new gutters now helps prevent much pricier water and structural damage in the future.
