How To Choose a Gutter Installer
Research potential gutter installers carefully before hiring to avoid overinflated prices or poor work. Here’s what to look for when evaluating gutter installation companies:
Assess Their Experience
When looking for gutter installation, we recommend choosing a local provider 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 evaluate 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 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
Spend time looking through online reviews on sites such as the Better Business Bureau, Google, and Yelp. Verify that the company has a proven 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 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
Pick a gutter professional who's a certified installer through the manufacturer. These businesses that are formally trained are trained to install gutters per the manufacturer's specifications to achieve the best results.
Examine Warranties
Only use contractors that offer strong manufacturer guarantees 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 resilient materials – such as heavy-gauge aluminum – that won't easily rust, warp, or decay over time. Materials that can handle Coos Bay’s local weather are best. Also check that paints and finishes have an equally extended lifespan.
Questions to Ask
Be sure to ask specific questions when evaluating gutter installers. Inquire about details like these:
- How will you make sure that the new gutters have the right pitch and slope to prevent standing water? Proper slope and pitch greatly reduces the chance of overflow. Your contractor should know how to correctly align your gutter system with your home’s roofing specifications.
- What materials are recommended for my gutters based on the local weather conditions and my specific home style? Factors such as Coos Bay's typical annual rainfall and the risk of inclement weather in your area will affect the type and size of gutter you should get. Learn the benefits and drawbacks of each gutter material.
- 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 price of gutter installation will be before the work begins.
- How long is the full installation? Most companies can finish installations in about 24 hours.
- What are the specific warranty details for materials and workmanship? High-quality materials usually come with 5–10 year warranties. Labor is typically back by a 1-3 year warranty.
- Are you also able to install gutter guards? Adding gutter guards helps prevent obstructions that occur due to leaves, twigs, and other debris falling into your gutters.
- How do you ensure a smooth integration with my existing roof? Look for steps like underlayment replacement.
Putting in the effort to do your research before deciding on a company will help you choose the right gutter installer for your home. Installing new gutters now helps prevent more expensive water and structural damage down the road.
