How To Choose a Gutter Installer
Research potential gutter installers thoroughly before hiring to avoid overpaying or dealing with shoddy work. Here’s what to look for when evaluating gutter installation professionals:
Assess Their Experience
We recommend choosing local gutter companies that have been operating for many years or decades. Providers with this kind of expertise are familiar with local weather and climate patterns as well as popular architecture styles, which helps them properly evaluate your needs and get you the best gutters for your home. Generally, extensive experience also means proven techniques for safe, efficient gutter installation.
Verify Proper Licensing and Insurance
Make sure to pick a provider with the proper qualifications. Ask to see licensing, bonding, and insurance documentation before committing to a contract. Current credentials mean that a company follows best practices and local regulations, giving you peace of mind.
Check Reviews and Referrals
Look through online reviews on sites such as Yelp, the Better Business Bureau, and Google. Check that the company provides quality work and good customer service. Look for long-term happy customers to gain insight into a company's dependability. Watch for red flags like unresolved complaints or incomplete jobs. All our recommended providers boast a good average rating across a high number of reviews.
Choose Reputable Brands
Choose a gutter installer with certification from the gutter manufacturer, as this means the company has specialized knowledge and knows how to install gutters according to the manufacturer's specifications. This helps achieve the best results.
Examine Warranties
You should only pick companies that offer solid manufacturer warranties on materials, plus their own installation warranties. Look for 5-10 year warranties on basic aluminum gutters and 1 to 3 years of labor coverage.
Gutter Installation Materials
Go for durable materials – for example, heavy-gauge aluminum – that won't warp, rust, or decay over time. Materials that can handle Mount Washington’s weather are best. Be sure any paints and finishes also have an equally lengthy lifespan.
Questions to Ask
Be sure to ask detailed questions when comparing gutter installers. You'll want to ask questions including these:
- How will you ensure a smooth integration with my existing roof? Check whether steps like underlayment replacement are included.
- How long is the full installation? Most companies can usually complete a gutter installation project in around a day.
- Can you provide a detailed quote for both problem area fixes and full gutter replacement? Get proposals in writing to make sure you understand the cost of your gutter installation before the job begins.
- What steps do you take to ensure my new gutters have the right pitch and slope to avoid standing water? Correct pitch and slope significantly diminish overflow risk. Your gutter installation professional should know how to properly align a gutter system on your roof.
- What are the specific warranty details for materials and workmanship? Quality materials are typically backed by 5–10 year warranties. Labor is usually back by a 1-3 year warranty.
- What materials are recommended for my gutters based on the local weather conditions and my specific home style? Factors such as Mount Washington's average rainfall, snowfall, and the risk of inclement weather in your area will affect the type and size of gutter you should get. Learn the pros and cons of each gutter material.
- Can you also install gutter guards? Installing gutter guards helps prevent clogging that results from leaves, twigs, and other debris getting into your gutters.
Spending time evaluating multiple companies will help you find the right gutter installer for your home's needs. Investing in new gutters helps avoid much more costly water and structural damage down the road.
