How To Choose a Gutter Installer
Research potential gutter installers thoroughly first, so you don't end up with poor work or an overinflated bill. When assessing gutter installation companies, look for:
Assess Their Experience
When looking for gutter installation, it's advisable to opt for a local company that's served your area for many years, ideally decades. A company’s extensive knowledge of the area's climate, weather, and popular home styles helps it assess your needs and get you the right gutters for your home. These well-established experts employ time-tested methods to ensure safe, effective gutter installation.
Verify Proper Licensing and Insurance
When picking a provider, make sure that it has the proper qualifications. Ask to see licensing, bonding, and insurance documentation before committing. Proper credentials and insurance mean that the company follows regulations and that you'll avoid issues if an injury or property damage occurs during the project.
Check Reviews and Referrals
Spend time reading online reviews on sites such as Yelp, Google, and the Better Business Bureau 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 get a sense of the company's overall reliability. Watch for any red flags, such as poor communication or unfinished jobs. All our recommended providers boast a good average rating across a high number of reviews.
Choose Reputable Brands
Choose a provider that is a certified installer through the gutter manufacturer. You'll want a business that has the proper training to complete all gutter installations per the manufacturer's specifications for the best results.
Examine Warranties
Only hire companies that offer strong manufacturer guarantees on materials as well as their own installation warranties. Look for warranties that last 5–10 years for standard aluminum gutters and 1 to 3 years for labor.
Gutter Installation Materials
Go for tough materials – for example, heavy-gauge aluminum – that won't decay, rust, or warp over time. Materials that can handle Greenville’s weather are best. Be sure any paints and finishes also have a similarly lengthy lifespan.
Questions to Ask
When comparing potential gutter installation providers, you should ask these kinds of detailed questions:
- What gutter materials are best for the local weather conditions and my specific home style? Factors such as Greenville's average rainfall, snowfall, and the risk of inclement weather in your area will affect the size and type of gutter you should get. Learn the benefits and drawbacks of each gutter material.
- Can you provide a detailed quote for both full gutter replacement and problem area fixes? Get quotes in writing from companies, 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 current roof? Look for companies that consider steps like underlayment replacement.
- How will you make sure that the new gutters have the right slope and pitch to prevent standing water? Proper slope and pitch helps prevent overflow. Your installer should know how to correctly align your gutter system with your home’s roofing specifications.
- What are the specific warranty coverages on labor and materials? High-quality materials are typically backed by 5–10 year warranties. Labor is usually back by a 1-3 year guarantee.
- How long does full installation take? Most companies can complete a gutter installation project in around one day's time.
- Are you also able to install gutter guards? Gutter guards help prevent obstructions that occur due to debris from trees falling into your gutters. This is particularly important in a place like Greenville with lots of trees.
Spending time evaluating multiple companies helps you find the right gutter installation company for your needs. Investing in new gutters helps prevent much more costly water and structural damage later on.
