How To Choose a Gutter Installer
Research gutter installers comprehensively first, so you don't overpay or get bad service. When evaluating gutter installation companies, look for:
Assess Their Experience
Choose an established local provider with many years, ideally decades, of gutter installation experience. An experienced company will understand your local climate and weather as well as local home architecture styles and can help you find the right gutters for your house. It will also have proven systems for safe and efficient gutter installation.
Verify Proper Licensing and Insurance
Only hire a provider that's fully licensed, bonded, and insured. Ask to see copies of their documentation upfront before committing. Proper licensing and insurance protects you from liability and indicates that the company is operating legally.
Check Reviews and Referrals
Spend time reading online reviews on sites such as Yelp, Google, and the Better Business Bureau to confirm that the company has a proven track record of providing good customer service and great project results. Look for long-term satisfied customers to gain insights into the company's overall reliability. Look for any red flags, such as unresolved complaints 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 helps you get the best results.
Examine Warranties
Only hire providers that offer strong manufacturer warranties on materials as well as their own installation guarantees. Look for guarantees that last 5 to 10 years for standard aluminum gutters and 1 to 3 years for labor.
Gutter Installation Materials
Pick long-lasting materials like heavy-gauge aluminum that won't warp, decay, or rust over time. The right materials will be able to hold up under the weather in Saline. Make sure any paints and finishes have a long lifespan as well.
Questions to Ask
As you compare potential gutter installation providers, be sure to ask detailed questions like these:
- How long is the full installation process? Most companies are able to get installations done in about 24 hours.
- What steps do you take to ensure my new gutters have the optimal pitch and slope to avoid standing water? Proper pitch and slope helps prevent overflow. Your contractor should know how to align your gutter system with your home’s roofing specifications.
- Will you give me a detailed quote for both full gutter replacement and problem area fixes? Get written estimates from providers, so you know exactly what the price of gutter installation will be before the project starts.
- How do you make sure there’s smooth integration with my existing roofing? Look for providers that complete all steps, including ones like underlayment replacement.
- Are you also able to install gutter guards? Adding gutter guards helps prevent clogs that occur due to debris from trees falling into your gutters.
- What warranties do you offer for labor and materials? Quality materials usually have 5–10 year warranties. Labor is typically back by a 1-3 year guarantee.
- What gutter materials do you recommend for my specific home style and the local weather conditions? Factors such as Saline's typical snowfall, rainfall, and the risk of inclement weather in your area will influence the size and type of gutter that's best for you. Learn the advantages and disadvantages of each gutter material.
Thoroughly vetting your options before deciding on a company helps you select the right gutter installer. Investing in new gutters now helps prevent much pricier water and structural damage in the future.
