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 vetting gutter installers, look for:
Assess Their Experience
Choose an established local provider with many years, ideally decades, of gutter installation experience. An experienced provider will understand your local climate and weather as well as local home architecture styles and can help you find the best gutters for your house. These providers also have proven systems for safe and efficient gutter installation.
Verify Proper Licensing and Insurance
When picking a provider, make sure that it has the proper qualifications. Ask to see licensing, bonding, and insurance documentation before signing a contract. Proper licensing and insurance mean that the company is legitimate and that you'll avoid issues if an injury or property damage occurs during the project.
Check Reviews and Referrals
Look through online reviews on sites such as the Better Business Bureau, Google, and Yelp. Confirm that the company provides high-quality work and great customer service. Look for long-term happy customers to understand a provider's dependability. Watch for red flags like unresolved complaints or incomplete jobs. All the providers we recommend 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 business has the right expertise and knows how to install gutters according to the manufacturer's specifications. This helps 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 guarantees that last 5–10 years for standard aluminum gutters and 1 to 3 years for labor.
Gutter Installation Materials
Pick durable materials like heavy-gauge aluminum that won't warp, rust, or decay over time. The right materials will be able to withstand the weather in Johns Creek. Make sure any paints and finishes are equally durable.
Questions to Ask
When comparing potential gutter installation companies, make sure to ask the following types of detailed questions:
- Can you also install gutter guards? Adding gutter guards helps prevent clogging that results from leaves and debris getting into your gutters.
- What warranties do you offer for labor and materials? Quality materials are typically backed by 5–10 year warranties. Labor is usually back by a 1-3 year warranty.
- How long is the full installation process? Most companies can complete installations in around one day.
- How will you ensure a smooth integration with my current roof? Look for companies that consider steps such as underlayment replacement.
- Will you provide a detailed quote for both problem area fixes and full gutter replacement? Get quotes in writing from companies, so you understand exactly what the price of gutter installation will be before the project starts.
- What steps do you take to ensure my new gutters have the right slope and pitch to reduce standing water? Proper slope and pitch greatly reduces the chance of overflow. Your installer should know how to correctly align your gutter system with your home’s roof.
- What materials are best for my gutters based on my specific home style and the local weather conditions? Consider the benefits and drawbacks of each gutter material, accounting for key factors such as Johns Creek's expected annual rainfall and the size and capacity of the gutters.
Spending time evaluating multiple companies will help you find the right gutter installer for your home's needs. Investing in new gutters helps prevent much more costly water and structural damage in the future.
