How To Choose a Gutter Installer
Research potential gutter installers carefully before hiring to avoid overpaying or dealing with shoddy work. Here’s what to look for when researching gutter installation companies:
Assess Their Experience
Look for local gutter providers 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 assess your needs and get you the best gutters for your home. Typically, extensive experience also means proven practices for safe, efficient gutter installation.
Verify Proper Licensing and Insurance
Only hire a professional that's fully licensed, bonded, and insured. Ask for copies of their documentation before signing a contract. Proper credentials and insurance protects you from liability and indicates that the company is operating legally.
Check Reviews and Referrals
Browse online reviews on sites like Yelp, the Better Business Bureau, and Google. Check that the company has a record of excellent work and great customer service. Look for happy long-term customers to get insights into a provider’s reliability. Watch out for red flags, like poor communication or unfinished jobs. All our recommended providers have a high number of reviews with a good average rating.
Choose Reputable Brands
Choose a gutter installer that's certified by the gutter maker, as this means the professional meets the manufacturer's standards and knows how to install gutters according to the manufacturer's specifications. This ensures that you get 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 1-3 year guarantees on labor.
Gutter Installation Materials
Look for durable materials – such as heavy-gauge aluminum – that won't easily rust, decay, or warp as time passes. Materials that can withstand Attleboro’s local weather are best. Also check that paints and finishes have an equally extended lifespan.
Questions to Ask
When comparing potential gutter installation companies, be sure to ask a number of detailed questions:
- Can you give me a detailed quote for both problem area fixes and full gutter replacement? Get estimates in writing to ensure you understand the price of your gutter installation before the project begins.
- What are the specific warranty details for labor and materials? Quality materials are usually backed by 5–10 year warranties. Labor is usually back by a 1-3 year warranty.
- How will you make sure that the new gutters have the optimal pitch and slope to prevent standing water? Correct slope and pitch greatly lower overflow risk. Your gutter installation specialist should know how to properly align your gutter system on your roof.
- How will you ensure a smooth integration with my existing roofing? Look for steps such as underlayment replacement.
- Are you also able to install gutter guards? Adding gutter guards helps prevent clogging that results from leaves and debris getting into your gutters. This is particularly important in a place like Attleboro with lots of trees.
- How long does full installation take? Most companies are able to get installations done in around one day.
- What materials are best for my gutters based on my specific home style and the local weather conditions? Consider the pros and cons of each gutter material, taking into account important factors such as Attleboro's typical snowfall, rainfall, and the weight and volume of the gutters.
Taking the time to thoroughly research providers helps you choose the right gutter installer. Investing in new gutters now helps avoid much pricier water and structural damage in the future.
