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 looking for gutter installation, for the best results, you should select a local company that's served your area for many years, ideally decades. A provider's extensive knowledge of the area's climate, weather, and popular home styles helps it analyze your needs and get you the best gutters for your home. These well-established experts employ time-tested methods to enable safe, effective gutter installation.
Verify Proper Licensing and Insurance
When picking a professional, make sure that they have the proper qualifications. Ask to see licensing, bonding, and insurance documentation before committing. Proper licensing and insurance mean that the company is legitimate and that you'll avoid issues if property damage or an injury occurs during the project.
Check Reviews and Referrals
Peruse online reviews on sites such as Yelp, Google, and the Better Business Bureau. Check that the company provides high-quality work and good customer service. Look for long-term happy customers to get an idea of a company's dependability. Watch for red flags like unresolved complaints or incomplete jobs. All our recommended providers have a high number of reviews with a good average rating.
Choose Reputable Brands
Choose a gutter installer with certification from the gutter manufacturer, as this means the company has specialized knowledge and knows how to install gutters according to 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 guarantees. Look for 5-10 year guarantees 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 Orange’s local weather are best. Also check that paints and finishes have an equally extended lifespan.
Questions to Ask
As you compare potential gutter installation companies, make sure to ask detailed questions like these:
- What are the specific warranty details for materials and workmanship? Quality materials typically have 5–10 year warranties. Labor is usually back by a 1-3 year warranty.
- 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 total cost of gutter installation will be before the work begins.
- How do you make sure there’s smooth integration with my existing roof? Look for providers that complete all steps, including ones such as underlayment replacement.
- How will you make sure that the new gutters have the right slope and pitch to reduce standing water? Correct pitch and slope significantly diminish overflow risk. Your gutter installation company should know how to properly align a gutter system with your roof.
- What gutter materials do you recommend for my specific home style and the local weather conditions? Consider the pros and cons of each gutter material, accounting for critical factors such as Orange's expected rainfall, snowfall, and the weight and volume of the gutters.
- Can you also install gutter guards? Putting in gutter guards helps prevent clogs that result from debris such as leaves getting into your gutters.
- How long does the installation process take? Most companies can complete installations in around one day.
Putting in the effort to do your research before deciding on a company will help you find the best gutter installation company for your home. Upgrading to new gutters now helps prevent more expensive water and structural damage in the future.
