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 evaluating gutter installers, look for:
Assess Their Experience
When looking for gutter installation, for the best results, you should select a local provider 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 evaluate your needs and get you the best gutters for your home. These well-established companies employ time-tested methods to ensure safe, effective gutter installation.
Verify Proper Licensing and Insurance
When picking a company, make sure that it has the proper documentation. Ask to see licensing, bonding, and insurance documentation before committing. Proper credentials and insurance mean that the company is legitimate and that you'll avoid issues if an injury or property damage occurs during the project.
Check Reviews and Referrals
Read online reviews on sites like Yelp, Google, and the Better Business Bureau. Verify that a provider has a proven record of excellent work and good customer service. Look for satisfied longstanding customers to get insights into a provider’s reliability. Watch out for red flags, like 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 business that's certified through the gutter manufacturer. You'll want a company that has completed the training program to complete all gutter installations per the manufacturer's specifications to achieve the best results.
Examine Warranties
Only hire a provider that offers strong manufacturer guarantees on materials as well as their own installation guarantees. Look for guarantees that last 5–10 years for standard aluminum gutters and 1 to 3 years for labor.
Gutter Installation Materials
Pick durable materials like heavy-gauge aluminum that won't rust, decay, or warp over time. The right materials will be able to hold up under the weather in Cliffside Park. Make sure any paints and finishes have an extended lifespan, too.
Questions to Ask
As you compare potential gutter installation providers, make sure to ask specific questions including these:
- How long is the full installation? Most companies can finish installations in about 24 hours.
- 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 steps do you take to ensure my new gutters have the right slope and pitch to prevent standing water? Correct pitch and slope help reduce overflow risk. Your gutter installation company should know how to properly align a gutter system on your roof.
- How do you make sure there’s smooth integration with my current roof? Check whether the company includes steps like underlayment replacement.
- What are the specific warranty details for labor and materials? Quality materials typically come with 5–10 year warranties. Labor is usually back by a 1-3 year guarantee.
- What gutter materials are best for the local weather conditions and my specific home style? Factors such as Cliffside Park's average rainfall, snowfall, and the risk of inclement weather in your area will influence the size and type of gutter that's best for you. Learn the pros and cons of each gutter material.
- Will you provide a detailed quote for both problem area fixes and full gutter replacement? Get quotes in writing from companies, so you understand exactly what the price of gutter installation will be before the project starts.
Putting in the work to vet companies thoroughly will help you choose the right gutter installer for your home's needs. Investing in new gutters can protect against much more costly water and structural damage down the road.
