Gutter Services
Most of the Superior gutter installation companies we recommend are full-service. A few of the many services they offer include the following:
- Installation: Whether you're purchasing sectional gutters or custom-cut seamless ones, an expert technician will have the training needed to install your new gutters safely.
- Gutter guard installation: Want to prevent leaves from clogging up your gutters? Are pests like birds making their home inside them? Gutter guards can help in both cases, and a qualified gutter guard team can help you choose and install the right kind.
- Cleaning: Regular gutter cleaning is essential for success, but it's not the most pleasant job to do on your own. A professional can handle the dirty work for you to help prevent overflowing, clogging, and warping.
- Repair: Whether you're dealing with cracking, sagging, loose sections, mold, or holes, an experienced Superior gutter company can identify and resolve your gutter issues quickly.
If you find a gutter services provider you want to stick with, many companies offer long-term maintenance plans that cover new installation, routine cleaning, and repairs as needed. You can pay monthly or annually for these packages.
How To Choose a Gutter Installer
Thoroughly researching gutter companies ahead of time helps you avoid overpaying or getting low-quality work. When vetting gutter installers, look for:
Assess Their Experience
When looking for gutter installation, we recommend choosing a local company that's served your area for many years, ideally decades. A provider's extensive knowledge of 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 companies employ time-tested methods to ensure safe, effective gutter installation.
Verify Proper Licensing and Insurance
Only hire a professional that's fully licensed, bonded, and insured. Ask to see copies of their license, bonds, and insurance documentation before signing a contract. Proper certification and insurance protects you from liability and shows that the company is operating legally.
Check Reviews and Referrals
Read online reviews on sites such as the Better Business Bureau, Google, and Yelp. Check that the company provides high-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 unresolved complaints or incomplete jobs. All the providers we recommend boast a good average rating across a high number of reviews.
Choose Reputable Brands
Pick a gutter installer that has the manufacturer's seal of approval. These companies that completed the training program are trained to install gutters per the manufacturer's specifications in order to achieve the best results.
Examine Warranties
Only hire companies that offer strong manufacturer guarantees on materials as well as their own installation guarantees. Look for warranties that last 5–10 years for standard aluminum gutters and 1 to 3 years for labor.
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 hold up under the weather in Superior. Make sure any paints and finishes have an extended lifespan, too.
Questions to Ask
Be sure to ask detailed questions when evaluating gutter installers. You'll want to ask questions including these:
- What kind of warranties are there for materials and workmanship? Quality materials are often backed by 5–10 year warranties. Labor is usually back by a 1-3 year warranty.
- Can you also install gutter guards? Adding gutter guards helps prevent clogs that occur due to leaves and other falling debris.
- What materials are recommended for my gutters based on the local weather conditions and my specific home style? Factors such as Superior's typical snowfall, rainfall, and the risk of inclement weather in your area will influence the size and type of gutter that's best for you. Learn the benefits and drawbacks of each gutter material.
- What steps do you take to ensure my new gutters have the right slope and pitch to reduce standing water? Correct slope and pitch greatly lower overflow risk. Your gutter installation provider should know how to properly align a gutter system with your roof.
- How will you ensure a smooth integration with my current roof? Check whether the company includes steps like underlayment replacement.
- How long will the full installation process take? Most companies are able to get installations done in a day or so.
- 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 cost of your gutter installation before the project begins.
Thoroughly vetting your options before deciding on a company helps you choose the right gutter installation company. Investing in new gutters now helps avoid much pricier water and structural damage in the future.
