Gutter Services
By hiring a full-service gutter installation company, you'll get the best value and longest lifespan from your system. The Park City companies we recommend can do all these jobs and more:
- Installation: Licensed gutter crews have the knowledge and resources to custom-cut and install new gutters without damaging your roof.
- Repair: Park City homeowners are no stranger to gutter issues, from sagging and cracks to mold and mildew. A local gutter company can repair your gutters in no time, and without breaking the bank.
- Cleaning: Gutters require routine cleaning. Park City residents have less tree cover but average rainfall, so they should clean their gutters two to four times per year.
- Gutter guard installation: Want to stop leaves from clogging up your downspouts? 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.
If you find a local gutter company you like, ask if they offer long-term contracts for installation, cleaning, and repairs. These packages are typically billed either monthly or annually.
How To Choose a Gutter Installer
Carefully vet gutter installers before choosing one. This helps you avoid overinflated prices and low-quality work. When checking out gutter installation companies, look for these qualities:
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 company’s expertise on the area's climate, weather, and popular home styles helps it assess your needs and get you the best gutters for your home. These well-established providers employ time-tested methods to ensure safe, effective gutter installation.
Verify Proper Licensing and Insurance
Only hire a company that's fully licensed, bonded, and insured. Ask for copies of their documentation before signing a contract. Proper certification and insurance protects you from liability and indicates that the company is operating legally.
Check Reviews and Referrals
Spend time searching online reviews on sites such as Google, Yelp, and the Better Business Bureau. Verify that the provider has a track record of quality work and great customer service. Look for long-term satisfied customers to check a provider’s reliability. Watch out for red flags like poor communication or unfinished jobs. All our recommended providers 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 provider you can trust that's trained to install your gutters per the manufacturer's specifications. This helps achieve the best results.
Examine Warranties
Only use contractors that offer strong manufacturer guarantees on supplies as well as their own installation guarantees. Look for 5 to 10 year warranties on basic aluminum gutters and 1 to 3 years on labor.
Gutter Installation Materials
Go for resilient materials – for example, heavy-gauge aluminum – that won't decay, warp, or rust over time. Materials that can withstand Park City’s weather are key. Be sure any paints and finishes also have a long lifespan.
Questions to Ask
As you compare potential gutter installation companies, be sure to ask key questions such as these:
- How long is the installation process? Most companies can complete installations in a day or so.
- 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 with your roof.
- Will you provide a detailed quote for both full gutter replacement and fixes for problem areas? Get written estimates from companies, so you understand exactly what the price of gutter installation will be before the work begins.
- What gutter materials do you recommend for my specific home style and the local weather conditions? Consider the pros and cons of each gutter material, considering key factors such as Park City's typical rainfall, snowfall, and the size and capacity of the gutters.
- What warranties do you offer for labor and materials? Quality materials are typically backed by 5–10 year warranties. Labor is normally back by a 1-3 year warranty.
- Can you also install gutter guards? Gutter guards help prevent blockages that occur due to leaves, twigs, and other debris falling into your gutters.
- How do you guarantee a smooth integration with my current roof? See whether the company includes steps like underlayment replacement.
Researching and comparing multiple providers will help you choose the best gutter installation company for your home. Investing in new gutters today protects against costly water and structural damage in the future.
