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
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 weather, climate, and popular home styles helps it assess your needs and get you the right gutters for your home. These well-established providers employ time-tested methods to enable safe, effective gutter installation.
Verify Proper Licensing and Insurance
When picking a provider, make sure that it has the proper qualifications. Ask to see licensing, bonding, and insurance documentation prior to signing a contract. Proper licensing and insurance mean that the company follows regulations and that you'll avoid issues if an injury or property damage occurs during the project.
Check Reviews and Referrals
Browse online reviews on sites like Google, the Better Business Bureau, and Yelp. Verify that the company has a record of excellent work and good customer service. Look for satisfied longstanding customers to gain insights into a company's reliability. Be on the lookout 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 officially certified by the manufacturer. This way, you’ll have a business with manufacturer-backed credentials that's trained to install your gutters per the manufacturer's specifications. This helps you get the best results.
Examine Warranties
Only use providers that offer strong manufacturer guarantees on supplies as well as their own installation guarantees. Look for 5 to 10 year guarantees on basic aluminum gutters and 1 to 3 years on labor.
Gutter Installation Materials
Look for resilient materials – such as heavy-gauge aluminum – that won't easily decay, warp, or rust over time. Materials that can handle Jackson’s local weather are best. Also check that paints and finishes have an equally lengthy lifespan.
Questions to Ask
When comparing potential gutter installation providers, you should ask these kinds of detailed questions:
- How do you guarantee a smooth integration with my existing roof? Check whether steps like underlayment replacement are included.
- What steps do you take to ensure my new gutters have the right slope and pitch to avoid standing water? Correct slope and pitch help reduce overflow risk. Your gutter installation professional should know how to properly align a gutter system with your roof.
- What materials are recommended for my gutters based on the local weather conditions and my specific home style? Consider the pros and cons of each gutter material, accounting for key factors such as Jackson's average rainfall, snowfall, and the weight and volume of the gutters.
- What warranties do you offer for materials and labor? Quality materials are typically backed by 5–10 year warranties. Labor is typically back by a 1-3 year warranty.
- Are you also able to install gutter guards? Gutter guards help prevent blockages that occur due to leaves, twigs, and other debris falling into your gutters.
- How long does the installation process take? Most companies can complete installations in about 24 hours.
- Will you give me 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 job begins.
Researching and comparing multiple providers will help you pick the best gutter installation company for your home. Investing in new gutters today helps avoid costly water and structural damage in the future.
