How To Choose a Gutter Installer
Research potential gutter installers comprehensively first, so you don't overpay or get bad service. When assessing gutter installation companies, look for:
Assess Their Experience
When looking for gutter installation, for the best results, you should select a local company that's served your area for many years, ideally decades. A company’s expertise on the area's weather, climate, and popular home styles helps it evaluate your needs and get you the best gutters for your home. These well-established companies employ time-tested methods to enable 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
Read online reviews on sites such as Google, the Better Business Bureau, and Yelp. Check that the company provides high-quality work and great customer service. Look for long-term happy customers to understand a company'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
Look for a gutter installer that's endorsed by the manufacturer through certification. This way, you’ll have a company that knows their stuff and is trained to install your gutters per the manufacturer's specifications. This helps ensure the best results.
Examine Warranties
Try to pick companies that offer solid manufacturer warranties on materials, plus their own installation warranties. Look for 5 to 10 year guarantees on basic aluminum gutters and 1 to 3 years of labor coverage.
Gutter Installation Materials
Look for durable materials – such as heavy-gauge aluminum – that won't easily warp, decay, or rust as time passes. Materials that can withstand Bremen’s local weather are best. Also check that paints and finishes have an equally long lifespan.
Questions to Ask
Be sure to ask detailed questions when comparing different gutter installers. You'll want to ask questions including these:
- What gutter materials are recommended for the local weather conditions and my specific home style? Consider the pros and cons of each gutter material, taking into account key factors such as Bremen's average rainfall, snowfall, and the weight and volume of the gutters.
- How long is the full installation? Most companies can complete installations in a day or so.
- How will you make sure that the new gutters have the right slope and pitch to avoid standing water? Correct pitch and slope help reduce overflow risk. Your gutter installation company should know how to properly align a gutter system on your roof.
- Can you provide a detailed quote for both full gutter replacement and problem area fixes? Get quotes in writing from providers, so you understand exactly what the total cost of gutter installation will be before the project starts.
- How do you make sure there’s smooth integration with my current roofing? Look for providers that complete all steps, including ones like underlayment replacement.
- Are you also able to install gutter guards? Adding gutter guards helps prevent clogs that occur due to leaves, twigs, and other debris falling into your gutters.
- What kind of warranties are there for labor and materials? High-quality materials are often backed by 5–10 year warranties. Labor is usually back by a 1-3 year guarantee.
Putting in the work to vet companies thoroughly helps you find the right gutter installation company for your home's needs. Investing in new gutters helps avoid much more costly water and structural damage in the future.
