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 vetting gutter installation companies:
Assess Their Experience
When searching for a gutter installation provider, try to choose a local company that's been operating for many years or decades. This experience signals that the company understands your area's weather and climate, as well as common local home designs, which helps them choose the right gutters for your home. Additionally, these companies have proven practices for safe, efficient gutter installation.
Verify Proper Licensing and Insurance
Before signing a contract, verify that the company has the right credentials. Request to see licensing, bonding, and insurance documentation upfront. Proper certification tells you that the company follows regulations and helps protect you from issues if property damage or an injury occurs during the project.
Check Reviews and Referrals
Spend time reading online reviews on sites such as the Better Business Bureau, Yelp, and Google to verify the company's a proven track record of providing good customer service and great project results. Look for long-term satisfied customers to understand the company's overall reliability. Look for any red flags, such as poor communication or unfinished jobs. All our recommended providers have a high number of reviews with a good average rating.
Choose Reputable Brands
Look for a gutter installer that's endorsed by the manufacturer through certification. 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 ensure the best results.
Examine Warranties
Only use providers that offer strong manufacturer warranties on supplies as well as their own installation guarantees. Look for 5 to 10 year warranties on basic aluminum gutters and 1-3 years on labor.
Gutter Installation Materials
Look for durable materials – such as heavy-gauge aluminum – that won't easily rust, decay, or warp as time passes. Materials that can handle New Brunswick’s local weather are best. Also check that paints and finishes have an equally extended lifespan.
Questions to Ask
When comparing potential gutter installation companies, be sure to ask the following types of detailed questions:
- Can you also install gutter guards? Adding gutter guards helps prevent blockages that result from debris such as leaves getting into your gutters.
- How long is the full installation? Most companies can finish installations in about 24 hours.
- Can you give me a detailed quote for both full gutter replacement and problem area fixes? Get written estimates from providers, so you understand exactly what the price of gutter installation will be before the work begins.
- How will you guarantee a smooth integration with my current roof? Look for steps like underlayment replacement.
- What kind of warranties are there for materials and workmanship? Quality materials are often backed by 5–10 year warranties. Labor is typically back by a 1-3 year guarantee.
- How will you ensure the new gutters have the right pitch and slope to avoid standing water? Proper slope and pitch significantly decreases the likelihood of overflow. Your contractor should know how to align your gutter system with your home’s roof.
- What gutter materials are best for my specific home style and the local weather conditions? Consider the advantages and disadvantages of each gutter material, accounting for critical factors such as New Brunswick's expected rainfall, snowfall, and the size and capacity of the gutters.
Spending time evaluating multiple companies helps you choose the right gutter installation company for your home's needs. Investing in new gutters can protect against much more costly water and structural damage in the future.
