How To Choose a Gutter Installer
Spending ample time researching gutter companies ahead of time helps avoid shoddy workmanship and overinflated rates. When assessing gutter installers, look for:
Assess Their Experience
Choose an established local provider with years, or ideally decades, of gutter installation experience. An experienced provider understands your local climate and weather as well as local home architecture styles and can help you find the right gutters for your house. These providers also have proven practices for safe and efficient gutter installation.
Verify Proper Licensing and Insurance
Only hire a professional 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 indicates that the company is operating legally.
Check Reviews and Referrals
Spend time reading online reviews on sites such as Yelp, the Better Business Bureau, and Google to determine if 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. Watch for any red flags, such as unresolved complaints or unfinished jobs. All the providers we recommend have a high number of reviews with a good average rating.
Choose Reputable Brands
Look for a gutter installer that's certified directly by the manufacturer. This way, you’ll have a company that knows their stuff and is trained to install your gutters per the manufacturer's specifications. This helps you get the best results.
Examine Warranties
Choose contractors that offer robust manufacturer warranties on supplies, as well as their own installation warranties. Look for 5-10 year guarantees on regular aluminum gutters and 1 to 3 year warranties on labor.
Gutter Installation Materials
Pick long-lasting materials like heavy-gauge aluminum that won't rust, decay, or warp over time. The right materials will be able to withstand the weather in Greenlawn. Make sure any paints and finishes are equally durable.
Questions to Ask
Be sure to ask thorough questions when evaluating different gutter installers. You'll want to ask questions including these:
- What materials are recommended for my gutters based on the local weather conditions and my specific home style? Factors such as Greenlawn's typical 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 benefits and drawbacks of each gutter material.
- Will you provide a detailed quote for both problem area fixes and full gutter replacement? Get written estimates from companies, so you know exactly what the price of gutter installation will be before the work begins.
- How will you ensure a smooth integration with my current roof? Check whether steps like underlayment replacement are included.
- What are the specific warranty details for materials and workmanship? Quality materials are usually backed by 5–10 year warranties. Labor is typically back by a 1-3 year warranty.
- Are you also able to install gutter guards? Adding gutter guards helps prevent blockages that occur due to leaves and other falling debris.
- How will you make sure that the 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 on your roof.
- How long is the installation process? Most companies can complete installations in about 24 hours.
Vetting multiple companies before making a decision helps you find the best gutter installer for your home. Investing in new gutters today protects against costly water and structural damage in the future.
