How To Choose a Gutter Installer
Research prospective gutter installers in great depth first, so you don't overpay or get bad service. When assessing gutter installation companies, look for:
Assess Their Experience
When searching for a gutter installation expert, opt for a local provider that's been in business for many years or decades. This experience indicates that the company understands your area's weather and climate, as well as common local home designs, which helps them choose the best gutters for your home. Additionally, it'll have proven practices for safe, efficient gutter installation.
Verify Proper Licensing and Insurance
Before signing a contract, verify that the company has the proper credentials. Request to see licensing, bonding, and insurance documentation upfront. Proper credentialing indicates that the company follows regulations and helps protect you from issues if an injury or property damage occurs during the project.
Check Reviews and Referrals
Read online reviews on sites like Google, the Better Business Bureau, and Yelp. Check that a provider has a track record of excellent work and great customer service. Look for happy long-term customers to get insights into a provider’s reliability. Be on the lookout for red flags, like poor communication or unfinished jobs. All the providers we recommend boast a good average rating across a high number of reviews.
Choose Reputable Brands
Choose an installer with official certification through the gutter manufacturer. You'll want a business that has the proper training to complete all gutter installations per the manufacturer's specifications for the best results.
Examine Warranties
Choose contractors that offer robust manufacturer guarantees on supplies, as well as their own installation warranties. Look for 5-10 year warranties on regular aluminum gutters and 1 to 3 year warranties on labor.
Gutter Installation Materials
Look for durable materials – such as heavy-gauge aluminum – that won't easily decay, warp, or rust as time passes. Materials that can handle Burlington’s local weather are best. Also check that paints and finishes have an equally extended lifespan.
Questions to Ask
As you compare potential gutter installation providers, be sure to ask detailed questions like these:
- How will you make sure that the new gutters have the optimal slope and pitch to prevent standing water? Proper slope and pitch helps prevent overflow. Your installer should know how to align a gutter system with your home’s roof.
- How long is the full installation? Most companies are able to get installations done in about 24 hours.
- What kind of warranties are there for materials and labor? Quality materials are often backed by 5–10 year warranties. Labor is typically back by a 1-3 year guarantee.
- Can you provide a detailed quote for both problem area fixes and full gutter replacement? Get written estimates from providers, so you know exactly what the total cost of gutter installation will be before the project starts.
- How will you make sure there’s smooth integration with my existing roof? Look for providers that complete all steps, including ones such as underlayment replacement.
- What gutter materials do you recommend for my specific home style and the local weather conditions? Factors such as Burlington's average rainfall, snowfall, and the risk of inclement weather in your area will influence the type and size of gutter that's best for you. Learn the advantages and disadvantages of each gutter material.
- Are you also able to install gutter guards? Installing gutter guards helps prevent clogs that result from leaves, twigs, and other debris getting into your gutters.
Vetting multiple companies before making a decision will help you find the best gutter installation company for you. Investing in new gutters today helps avoid costly water and structural damage in the future.
