How To Choose a Gutter Installer
Spending ample time researching gutter companies ahead of time helps you avoid overpaying or getting low-quality work. When assessing gutter installers, look for:
Assess Their Experience
We recommend choosing local gutter experts that have been operating for many years or decades. Companies with this kind of expertise are familiar with local weather and climate patterns as well as popular architecture styles, which helps them properly assess your needs and get you the right gutters for your home. Typically, extensive experience also means proven practices for safe, efficient gutter installation.
Verify Proper Licensing and Insurance
When picking a company, make sure that it has the proper credentials. Ask to see licensing, bonding, and insurance documentation prior to signing a contract. Proper licensing and insurance mean that the company is legitimate and that you'll avoid issues if an injury or property damage occurs during the project.
Check Reviews and Referrals
Browse online reviews on sites like Google, Yelp, and the Better Business Bureau. Verify that the company has a proven track record of excellent work and good customer service. Look for happy long-term customers to get insights into a company's reliability. Watch out for red flags, like poor communication or unfinished jobs. All the providers we recommend have a high number of reviews with a good average rating.
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 to achieve the best results.
Examine Warranties
Only use companies that offer strong manufacturer warranties on supplies as well as their own installation warranties. Look for 5 to 10 year guarantees on basic aluminum gutters and 1-3 years on labor.
Gutter Installation Materials
Look for long-lasting, durable materials such as heavy gauge aluminum that are unlikely to decay, rust, or warp over time. The right materials will hold up under your local weather in Woodward. It's important that any paints and finishes also have a long lifespan and don't peel or fade prematurely.
Questions to Ask
Be sure to ask specific questions when comparing gutter installers. Inquire about details like these:
- Can you also install gutter guards? Adding gutter guards helps prevent blockages that result from leaves, twigs, and other debris getting into your gutters.
- Can you provide a detailed quote for both problem area fixes and full gutter replacement? Get estimates in writing to make sure you understand the price of your gutter installation before the job begins.
- How will you guarantee a smooth integration with my current roofing? Look for providers that complete all steps, including ones such as underlayment replacement.
- What warranties do you offer for materials and labor? Quality materials are usually backed by 5–10 year warranties. Labor is normally back by a 1-3 year warranty.
- How long does full installation take? Most companies are able to get installations done in a day or so.
- How will you make sure that the new gutters have the optimal slope and pitch to reduce standing water? Proper slope and pitch greatly reduces the chance of overflow. Your provider should know how to align your gutter system with your home’s roof.
- What materials are best for my gutters based on my specific home style and the local weather conditions? Factors such as Woodward's average rainfall, snowfall, and the risk of inclement weather in your area will affect the type and size of gutter you should get. Learn the advantages and disadvantages of each gutter material.
Thoroughly vetting your options before deciding on a company will help you choose the right gutter installation company. Investing in new gutters now helps avoid much pricier water and structural damage later.
