How To Choose a Gutter Installer
Research prospective gutter installers thoroughly first, so you don't overpay or get bad service. When assessing gutter installation companies, look for:
Assess Their Experience
When looking for gutter installation, we recommend choosing a local company that's served your area for many years, ideally decades. A company’s expertise on the area's weather, climate, and popular home styles helps it analyze your needs and get you the best gutters for your home. These well-established companies employ time-tested methods to enable safe, effective gutter installation.
Verify Proper Licensing and Insurance
Before committing to a contract, verify that the company has the right credentials. Request to see licensing, bonding, and insurance documentation upfront. Proper certification shows that the company follows regulations and helps protect you from issues if property damage or an injury occurs during the project.
Check Reviews and Referrals
Spend time searching online reviews on sites such as Yelp, Google, and the Better Business Bureau to verify the company's a proven track record of providing high-quality work and good customer service. Look for long-term satisfied customers to get a sense of the company's overall reliability. Look for any red flags, such as poor communication or unfinished jobs. All the providers we recommend boast a good average rating across a high number of reviews.
Choose Reputable Brands
Choose a business that's 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 hire a provider that offers strong manufacturer warranties on materials as well as their own installation guarantees. Look for guarantees that last 5–10 years for standard aluminum gutters and 1 to 3 years for labor.
Gutter Installation Materials
Go for durable materials – for example, heavy-gauge aluminum – that won't decay, rust, or warp over time. Materials that can handle Weatherford’s weather are key. Be sure any paints and finishes also have a similarly lengthy lifespan.
Questions to Ask
As you compare potential gutter installers, make sure to ask specific questions including these:
- How long is the full installation process? Most companies are able to get installations done in about 24 hours.
- Will you provide a detailed quote for both problem area fixes and full gutter replacement? Get estimates in writing to make sure you understand the cost of your gutter installation before the job begins.
- Can you also install gutter guards? Installing gutter guards helps prevent clogs that result from leaves and debris falling into your gutters.
- How do you ensure a smooth integration with my existing roofing? See whether the company includes steps like underlayment replacement.
- What gutter materials are best for 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 Weatherford's average rainfall, snowfall, and the weight and volume of the gutters.
- What steps do you take to ensure my new gutters have the optimal slope and pitch to prevent standing water? Proper slope and pitch greatly reduces the chance of overflow. Your contractor should know how to align your gutter system with your home’s roofing specifications.
- What kind of warranties are there for materials and workmanship? Quality materials are often backed by 5–10 year warranties. Labor is usually back by a 1-3 year warranty.
Putting in the effort to do your research before deciding on a company will help you select the best gutter installer for your home. Installing new gutters now helps prevent more expensive water and structural damage down the road.
