How To Choose a Gutter Installer
Thoroughly researching gutter companies ahead of time helps avoid shoddy workmanship and overinflated rates. When vetting gutter installers, look for:
Assess Their Experience
Look for an established local company with many years, ideally decades, of gutter installation experience. An experienced company will understand your local climate and weather as well as local home architecture styles and can help you find the best gutters for your house. These providers also have proven systems for safe and efficient gutter installation.
Verify Proper Licensing and Insurance
Only hire a professional that's fully licensed, bonded, and insured. Ask for copies of their documentation upfront before committing. Proper credentials and insurance protects you from liability and indicates that the company is operating legally.
Check Reviews and Referrals
Spend time looking through online reviews on sites such as Yelp, the Better Business Bureau, and Google. Verify that the company has a track record of excellent work and great customer service. Look for happy long-term customers to gain insights into a provider’s reliability. Watch for red flags like poor communication or unfinished jobs. All our recommended providers have a high number of reviews with a good average rating.
Choose Reputable Brands
Choose a company that's been certified through the gutter manufacturer. You'll want a company that has completed the training program to complete their gutter installations per the manufacturer's specifications in order to get the best results.
Examine Warranties
Only pick companies that offer solid manufacturer warranties on materials, plus their own installation warranties. Look for 5 to 10 year guarantees on basic aluminum gutters and 1-3 years of labor coverage.
Gutter Installation Materials
Pick long-lasting materials like heavy-gauge aluminum that won't warp, rust, or decay over time. The right materials will be able to withstand the weather in Sharon. Make sure any paints and finishes will also last a long time.
Questions to Ask
Be sure to ask thorough questions when evaluating gutter installers. You'll want to ask questions including these:
- What are the specific warranty details for materials and workmanship? High-quality materials typically come with 5–10 year warranties. Labor is usually back by a 1-3 year warranty.
- Can you provide a detailed quote for both problem area fixes and full gutter replacement? Get quotes in writing from providers, so you understand exactly what the total cost of gutter installation will be before the project starts.
- How do you guarantee a smooth integration with my current roof? Look for companies that consider steps such as underlayment replacement.
- What steps do you take to ensure my new gutters have the right slope and pitch to avoid standing water? Proper pitch and slope greatly reduces the chance of overflow. Your contractor should know how to align your gutter system with your home’s roofing specifications.
- What materials are recommended for my gutters based on my specific home style and the local weather conditions? Consider the benefits and drawbacks of each gutter material, taking into account key factors such as Sharon's expected rainfall, snowfall, and the weight and volume of the gutters.
- How long is the full installation? Most companies can usually complete a gutter installation project in around one day's time.
- Are you also able to install gutter guards? Adding gutter guards helps prevent clogging that results from leaves and debris getting into your gutters.
Researching and comparing multiple providers helps you find the best gutter installation company for you. Investing in new gutters today helps prevent costly water and structural damage in the future.
