How To Choose a Gutter Installer
Thoroughly evaluate gutter installers before hiring one. This helps you avoid overinflated prices and low-quality work. When looking into gutter installation companies, look for these things:
Assess Their Experience
When looking for gutter installation, for the best results, you should select a local company that's served your area for many years, ideally decades. A company’s extensive knowledge of the area's climate, weather, and popular home styles helps it analyze your needs and get you the right gutters for your home. These well-established companies employ time-tested methods to ensure safe, effective 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 licensing and insurance protects you from liability and shows that the company is operating legally.
Check Reviews and Referrals
Spend time searching online reviews on sites such as the Better Business Bureau, Google, and Yelp to determine if the company has a proven track record of providing high-quality work and good customer service. Look for long-term satisfied customers to get a sense of the company's overall reliability. Be on the lookout for any red flags, such as poor communication or unfinished jobs. All the providers we recommend boast a good average rating across a high number of reviews.
Choose Reputable Brands
Choose a gutter installer that has the manufacturer's seal of approval, as this means the company has specialized knowledge and knows how to install gutters according to the manufacturer's specifications. This ensures that you get the best results.
Examine Warranties
Only use companies that offer strong manufacturer warranties on supplies as well as their own installation warranties. Look for 5 to 10 year guarantees on basic aluminum gutters and 1-3 years on labor.
Gutter Installation Materials
Go for durable materials – for example, heavy-gauge aluminum – that won't decay, rust, or warp over time. Materials that can withstand Mundy’s weather are best. Be sure any paints and finishes also have a long lifespan.
Questions to Ask
As you compare potential gutter installers, make sure to ask key questions such as these:
- How will you ensure a smooth integration with my existing roofing? Look for providers that complete all steps, including ones like underlayment replacement.
- Can you give me a detailed quote for both problem area fixes and full gutter replacement? Get quotes in writing from providers, so you know exactly what the total cost of gutter installation will be before the work begins.
- What gutter materials do you recommend for the local weather conditions and my specific home style? Consider the advantages and disadvantages of each gutter material, considering critical factors such as Mundy's expected snowfall, rainfall, and the weight and volume of the gutters.
- What steps do you take to ensure my new gutters have the right slope and pitch to reduce standing water? Correct slope and pitch help reduce overflow risk. Your gutter installation company should know how to properly align a gutter system with your roof.
- How long is the full installation? Most companies are able to get installations done in about 24 hours.
- Can you also install gutter guards? Gutter guards help prevent blockages that occur due to debris from trees falling into your gutters.
- What kind of warranties are there for materials and labor? High-quality materials often come with 5–10 year warranties. Labor is usually back by a 1-3 year warranty.
Taking the time to thoroughly evaluate all your options helps you pick the best gutter installation company for your home. Investing in new gutters today helps prevent costly water and structural damage in the future.
