Gutter Services
By picking a full-service gutter installation company, you'll get the best value and longest lifespan from your system. The Heber companies on our list can do all these jobs and more:
- Repair: Heber homeowners are no stranger to gutter issues, from sagging and cracks to mold and mildew. A local gutter company can promptly repair your gutters without breaking the bank.
- Installation: Licensed gutter professionals have the resources and knowledge to custom-cut and install new gutters without damaging your roof.
- Gutter guard installation: Gutter guards will help stop plant matter from clogging up your downspouts. No matter the style or age of your gutter system, a local gutter guard company can install the right guards for them.

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
Spending ample time researching gutter companies ahead of time helps you avoid overpaying or getting low-quality work. When assessing gutter installers, look for:
Assess Their Experience
When looking for gutter installation, we recommend choosing a local provider that's served your area for many years, ideally decades. A company’s extensive knowledge of the area's weather, climate, and popular home styles helps it assess your needs and get you the right gutters for your home. These well-established companies employ time-tested methods to ensure safe, effective gutter installation.
Verify Proper Licensing and Insurance
Before committing to a contract, verify that the company has the right qualifications. Request to see licensing, bonding, and insurance documentation upfront. Proper certification shows that the company operates above board and helps protect you from issues if an injury or property damage occurs during the project.
Check Reviews and Referrals
Spend time looking through online reviews on sites such as Google, Yelp, and the Better Business Bureau to confirm that the company has a proven track record of providing high-quality work and good customer service. Look for long-term satisfied customers to gain insights into the company's overall reliability. Notice 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 a company that's been certified through the gutter manufacturer. You'll want a company that has completed the training program to complete their gutter installations per the manufacturer's specifications in order to get the best results.
Examine Warranties
Only pick companies that offer solid manufacturer guarantees on materials, plus their own installation guarantees. Look for 5 to 10 year guarantees on basic aluminum gutters and 1 to 3 years of labor coverage.
Gutter Installation Materials
Pick durable materials like heavy-gauge aluminum that won't decay, warp, or rust over time. The right materials will be able to hold up under the weather in Heber. Make sure any paints and finishes have an extended lifespan, too.
Questions to Ask
To properly evaluate gutter installation providers, you'll need to take the time to ask important questions such as these:
- What steps do you take to ensure my new gutters have the optimal slope and pitch to prevent standing water? Proper slope and pitch significantly decreases the likelihood of overflow. Your installer should know how to align a gutter system with your home’s roof.
- What materials are best for my gutters based on the local weather conditions and my specific home style? Consider the benefits and drawbacks of each gutter material, accounting for important factors such as Heber's average annual rainfall and the weight and volume of the gutters.
- How long will the full installation process take? Most companies are typically able to finish a gutter installation project in around one day's time.
- Are you also able to install gutter guards? Installing gutter guards helps prevent clogs that result from leaves, twigs, and other debris falling into your gutters.
- Can you give me a detailed quote for both full gutter replacement and fixes for problem areas? Get proposals in writing to make sure you know the price of your gutter installation before the project begins.
- What are the specific warranty details for materials and workmanship? Quality materials often have 5–10 year warranties. Labor is usually back by a 1-3 year warranty.
- How will you ensure a smooth integration with my current roof? Look for steps like underlayment replacement.
Taking the time to thoroughly research providers helps you choose the right gutter installer. Investing in new gutters now helps avoid much pricier water and structural damage down the road.
