How To Choose a Gutter Installer
Thoroughly evaluate gutter installers before picking one. This helps you avoid overinflated prices and low-quality work. When researching gutter installation companies, look for these things:
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 provider's extensive knowledge of the area's climate, weather, and popular home styles helps it evaluate your needs and get you the right gutters for your home. These well-established providers employ time-tested methods to ensure safe, effective gutter installation.
Verify Proper Licensing and Insurance
Before signing a contract, verify that the company has the right credentials. Request to see licensing, bonding, and insurance documentation upfront. Proper credentialing tells you that the company operates above board and helps protect you from issues if property damage or an injury occurs during the project.
Check Reviews and Referrals
Spend time searching online reviews on sites such as Google, Yelp, and the Better Business Bureau to verify the company's 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. Look for any red flags, such as poor communication or unfinished jobs. All our recommended providers boast a good average rating across a high number of reviews.
Choose Reputable Brands
Choose a business that's certified through the gutter manufacturer. You'll want a professional that is properly trained to complete all gutter installations per the manufacturer's specifications in order to get the best results.
Examine Warranties
Choose contractors that have robust manufacturer guarantees on supplies, as well as their own installation warranties. Look for 5 to 10 year warranties on regular aluminum gutters and 1-3 year guarantees on labor.
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 Powder Springs. Make sure any paints and finishes have a long lifespan as well.
Questions to Ask
To properly evaluate potential gutter companies, you'll want to make sure to ask key questions such as these:
- How will you make sure there’s smooth integration with my current roofing? Look for companies that consider steps such as underlayment replacement.
- What steps do you take to ensure my new gutters have the right slope and pitch to prevent standing water? Correct slope and pitch greatly lower overflow risk. Your gutter installation company should know how to properly align a gutter system on your roof.
- What materials are best for my gutters based on the local weather conditions and my specific home style? Factors such as Powder Springs' average annual 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.
- How long is the installation process? Most companies can finish installations in about 24 hours.
- What kind of warranties are there for materials and labor? Quality materials are usually backed by 5–10 year warranties. Labor is normally back by a 1-3 year guarantee.
- Can you also install gutter guards? Installing gutter guards helps prevent clogging that results from leaves and debris getting into your gutters.
- Can you give me a detailed quote for both problem area fixes and full gutter replacement? Get written estimates from providers, so you understand exactly what the price of gutter installation will be before the work 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.
