How To Choose a Gutter Installer
Spending ample time researching gutter companies ahead of time helps you avoid overpaying or getting low-quality work. When vetting gutter installers, look for:
Assess Their Experience
Look for an established local company with years, or ideally decades, of gutter installation experience under their belt. An experienced provider will understand your local climate and weather as well as local home architecture styles and can help you find the best gutters for your home. These providers also have proven systems for safe and efficient gutter installation.
Verify Proper Licensing and Insurance
Only hire a professional that's fully licensed, bonded, and insured. Ask to see copies of their license, bonds, and insurance documentation before signing a contract. Proper certification and insurance protects you from liability and shows that the company is operating legally.
Check Reviews and Referrals
Spend time looking through online reviews on sites such as Yelp, the Better Business Bureau, and Google. Confirm that the company has a record of high-quality work and good 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
Pick a gutter professional who's a certified installer through the manufacturer. These businesses that are formally trained are trained to install gutters per the manufacturer's specifications for the best results.
Examine Warranties
Choose contractors that provide robust manufacturer warranties 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
Pick long-lasting materials like heavy-gauge aluminum that won't decay, warp, or rust over time. The right materials will be able to withstand the weather in Glassmanor. Make sure any paints and finishes will also last a long time.
Questions to Ask
As you compare potential gutter installation companies, be sure to ask key questions such as these:
- How will you make sure there’s smooth integration with my current roofing? Find out whether the company includes steps like underlayment replacement.
- Will you provide a detailed quote for both problem area fixes and full gutter replacement? Get quotes in writing to make sure you know the price of your gutter installation before the work begins.
- Can you also install gutter guards? Gutter guards help prevent clogs that occur due to debris from trees falling into your gutters.
- What materials are recommended for my gutters based on the local weather conditions and my specific home style? Factors such as Glassmanor's typical rainfall, snowfall, and the risk of inclement weather in your area will influence the size and type of gutter that's best for you. Learn the pros and cons of each gutter material.
- What are the specific warranty details for materials and labor? High-quality materials are often backed by 5–10 year warranties. Labor is usually back by a 1-3 year warranty.
- How long will the full installation process take? Most companies are typically able to finish a gutter installation project in around a day.
- What steps do you take to ensure my new gutters have the right slope and pitch to avoid standing water? Correct pitch and slope greatly lower overflow risk. Your gutter installation specialist should know how to properly align your gutter system with your roof.
Doing your due diligence to research and compare providers will help you choose the right gutter installation company for your home. Installing new gutters now helps prevent more expensive water and structural damage in the future.
