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 evaluating gutter installation companies:
Assess Their Experience
We recommend choosing local gutter companies that have been in operation for many years or decades. Companies with this kind of expertise are familiar with local climate, weather trends, and architecture styles, which helps them properly evaluate your needs and get you the best gutters for your home. Generally, extensive experience also means proven practices for safe, 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 upfront before committing. Proper licensing and insurance protects you from liability and indicates that the company is operating legally.
Check Reviews and Referrals
Browse online reviews on sites like Yelp, Google, and the Better Business Bureau. Check that the company has a proven track record of quality work and good customer service. Look for happy long-term customers to gain insights into a provider’s reliability. Watch out for red flags, like 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 gutter installer that's certified by the gutter maker, as this means the business has the right expertise and knows how to install gutters according to the manufacturer's specifications. This helps ensure the best results.
Examine Warranties
Only use contractors that offer strong manufacturer warranties on supplies as well as their own installation warranties. Look for 5-10 year guarantees on basic aluminum gutters and 1-3 years on labor.
Gutter Installation Materials
Pick durable materials like heavy-gauge aluminum that won't rust, warp, or decay over time. The right materials will be able to hold up under the weather in El Reno. Make sure any paints and finishes have an extended lifespan, too.
Questions to Ask
When comparing potential gutter installation providers, make sure to ask the following types of detailed questions:
- How long is the full installation process? Most companies can complete installations in about 24 hours.
- What kind of warranties are there for materials and labor? Quality materials are usually backed by 5–10 year warranties. Labor is typically back by a 1-3 year guarantee.
- What steps do you take to ensure my new gutters have the optimal pitch and slope to prevent standing water? Proper slope and pitch helps prevent overflow. Your installer should know how to align a gutter system with your home’s roofing specifications.
- What gutter materials are recommended for the local weather conditions and my specific home style? Consider the advantages and disadvantages of each gutter material, accounting for critical factors such as El Reno's expected annual rainfall and the size and capacity of the gutters.
- How will you ensure a smooth integration with my current roof? Look for steps such as underlayment replacement.
- Can you also install gutter guards? Installing gutter guards helps prevent clogging that results from leaves and debris falling into your gutters.
- Will you give me a detailed quote for both problem area fixes and full gutter replacement? Get quotes in writing to make sure you know the price of your gutter installation before the work begins.
Doing your research to evaluate and compare multiple companies helps you select the right gutter installation company. Investing in new gutters now helps avoid much pricier water and structural damage later.
