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 evaluating gutter installation companies:
Assess Their Experience
When searching for a gutter installation expert, opt for a local company that's been operating for many years or decades. This experience means that the company understands your area's climate, weather patterns, and home designs, which helps them choose the best gutters for your home. Additionally, it'll have proven techniques for safe, 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 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
Read online reviews on sites like Google, Yelp, and the Better Business Bureau. Check that a provider has a proven record of excellent work and great customer service. Look for satisfied longstanding customers to get insights into a company's reliability. Watch out 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 certified directly by the manufacturer. This way, you’ll have an installer that has proven expertise and is trained to install your gutters per the manufacturer's specifications. This helps ensure 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 warranties on basic aluminum gutters and 1-3 years on labor.
Gutter Installation Materials
Pick long-lasting materials like heavy-gauge aluminum that won't decay, warp, or rust over time. The right materials will be able to withstand the weather in Town and Country. Make sure any paints and finishes are equally durable.
Questions to Ask
To properly evaluate gutter installation providers, you'll want to make sure to ask key questions such as these:
- Are you also able to install gutter guards? Adding gutter guards helps prevent clogs that result from leaves and debris getting into your gutters.
- What are the specific warranty coverages on labor and materials? Quality materials are often backed by 5–10 year warranties. Labor is normally back by a 1-3 year warranty.
- What gutter materials are best for the local weather conditions and my specific home style? Consider the pros and cons of each gutter material, considering important factors such as Town and Country's expected rainfall, snowfall, and the weight and volume of the gutters.
- Can you give me a detailed quote for both problem area fixes and full gutter replacement? Get proposals in writing to ensure you know the price of your gutter installation before the work begins.
- How do you make sure there’s smooth integration with my current roofing? Check whether the company includes steps like underlayment replacement.
- What steps do you take to ensure my new gutters have the optimal slope and pitch to reduce standing water? Proper slope and pitch helps prevent overflow. Your provider should know how to correctly align your gutter system with your home’s roofing specifications.
- How long does the installation process take? Most companies can complete installations in a day or so.
Taking the time to thoroughly research providers will help you choose the best gutter installation company. Investing in new gutters now helps avoid much pricier water and structural damage down the road.
