How To Choose a Gutter Installer
Research prospective gutter installers comprehensively first, so you don't end up with poor work or an overinflated bill. When assessing gutter installation companies, look for:
Assess Their Experience
When searching for a gutter installation provider, try to select a local provider that's been operating for many years or decades. This experience means that the company understands your area's weather and climate, as well as common local home designs, which helps them choose the perfect gutters for your house. Additionally, these companies have proven practices for safe, efficient gutter installation.
Verify Proper Licensing and Insurance
Only hire a professional that's fully licensed, bonded, and insured. Ask to see copies of their documentation before signing a contract. Proper credentials and insurance protects you from liability and indicates that the company is operating legally.
Check Reviews and Referrals
Spend time looking through online reviews on sites such as the Better Business Bureau, Yelp, and Google to determine if the company has a proven track record of providing good customer service and great project results. Look for long-term satisfied customers to get a sense of the company's overall reliability. Watch for any red flags, such as unresolved complaints or unfinished jobs. All the providers we recommend boast a good average rating across a high number of reviews.
Choose Reputable Brands
Choose an installer with official certification through the gutter manufacturer. You'll want an installer that is formally trained to complete all gutter installations per the manufacturer's specifications for the best results.
Examine Warranties
Only hire providers that offer strong manufacturer warranties on materials as well as their own installation warranties. Look for warranties that last 5–10 years for standard aluminum gutters and 1 to 3 years for labor.
Gutter Installation Materials
Go for resilient materials – for example, heavy-gauge aluminum – that won't rust, decay, or warp over time. Materials that can handle Belmont’s weather are best. Be sure any paints and finishes also have an equally lengthy lifespan.
Questions to Ask
To properly evaluate gutter installation providers, you'll need to take the time to ask thorough questions such as these:
- Can you give me a detailed quote for both full gutter replacement and fixes for problem areas? Get estimates in writing to make sure you know the price of your gutter installation before the work begins.
- Are you also able to install gutter guards? Gutter guards help prevent blockages that occur due to leaves, twigs, and other debris falling into your gutters.
- How will you guarantee a smooth integration with my existing roofing? Look for steps like underlayment replacement.
- What steps do you take to ensure my new gutters have the right pitch and slope to reduce standing water? Correct slope and pitch help reduce overflow risk. Your gutter installation professional should know how to properly align a gutter system on your roof.
- What kind of warranties are there for materials and workmanship? High-quality materials often come with 5–10 year warranties. Labor is typically back by a 1-3 year guarantee.
- What gutter materials do you recommend for the local weather conditions and my specific home style? Consider the pros and cons of each gutter material, accounting for critical factors such as Belmont's typical annual rainfall and the weight and volume of the gutters.
- How long is the full installation process? Most companies are able to get installations done in a day or so.
Putting in the effort to do your research before deciding on a company will help you choose the right gutter installation company for your home. Upgrading to new gutters now helps prevent more expensive water and structural damage later on.
