How To Choose a Gutter Installer
Research potential gutter installers thoroughly first, so you don't overpay or get bad service. When assessing gutter installation companies, look for:
Assess Their Experience
Look for an established local company with many years, ideally decades, of gutter installation experience. An experienced provider understands your local climate, weather patterns, and home architecture styles and can help you find the right gutters for your home. These providers also have proven systems for safe and efficient gutter installation.
Verify Proper Licensing and Insurance
Only hire a company 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
Peruse online reviews on sites such as the Better Business Bureau, Google, and Yelp. Verify that the company provides high-quality work and great 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 the providers we recommend boast a good average rating across a high number of reviews.
Choose Reputable Brands
Pick a gutter installer that has the manufacturer's seal of approval. These providers with proper training are trained to install gutters per the manufacturer's specifications in order to achieve the best results.
Examine Warranties
Try to 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
Pick durable materials like heavy-gauge aluminum that won't warp, rust, or decay over time. The right materials will be able to hold up under the weather in Cohasset. Make sure any paints and finishes will also last a long time.
Questions to Ask
Be sure to ask specific questions when comparing different gutter installers. You'll want to ask questions including these:
- Can you give me a detailed quote for both full gutter replacement and problem area fixes? Get quotes in writing to make sure you understand the price of your gutter installation before the job begins.
- What materials are best for my gutters based on my specific home style and the local weather conditions? Factors such as Cohasset's typical snowfall, rainfall, and the risk of inclement weather in your area will affect the type and size of gutter you should get. Learn the benefits and drawbacks of each gutter material.
- Can you also install gutter guards? Gutter guards help prevent blockages that occur due to leaves and other falling debris.
- What are the specific warranty coverages on materials and labor? High-quality materials are often backed by 5–10 year warranties. Labor is usually back by a 1-3 year warranty.
- What steps do you take to ensure my new gutters have the optimal slope and pitch to avoid standing water? Proper pitch and slope significantly decreases the likelihood of overflow. Your provider should know how to correctly align your gutter system with your home’s roofing specifications.
- How long is the full installation process? Most companies can complete installations in a day or so.
- How will you make sure there’s smooth integration with my current roof? Look for steps like underlayment replacement.
Taking the steps to thoroughly vet and evaluate multiple companies will help you select the right gutter installation company for your home. Installing new gutters now helps avoid more expensive water and structural damage in the future.
