Gutter Services
By picking a full-service gutter installation company, you'll get the best value and longest lifespan from your system. The Redmond companies on our list can handle all these jobs and more:
- Installation: Licensed gutter crews have the resources and knowledge to custom-cut and install new gutters without damaging your roof.

You can employ a gutter services company for whichever jobs you need. Many providers offer long-term plans that cover installation, routine cleaning, and repairs, charging by the month or year.
How To Choose a Gutter Installer
Research gutter installers thoroughly first, so you don't end up with poor work or an overinflated bill. When assessing gutter installation companies, look for:
Assess Their Experience
Look for an established local provider with years, or ideally decades, of gutter installation experience under their belt. An experienced company understands your local climate, weather patterns, and 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
When picking a provider, make sure that it has the proper documentation. Ask to see licensing, bonding, and insurance documentation prior to signing a contract. Proper licensing and insurance mean that the company follows regulations and that you'll avoid issues if an injury or property damage occurs during the project.
Check Reviews and Referrals
Spend time reading online reviews on sites such as Yelp, Google, and the Better Business Bureau to verify the company's a proven track record of providing good customer service and great project results. Look for long-term satisfied customers to understand the company's overall reliability. Watch for any red flags, such as unresolved complaints or unfinished jobs. All the providers we recommend boast a good average rating across a high number of reviews.
Choose Reputable Brands
Choose a company that's been certified through the gutter manufacturer. You'll want a professional that is properly trained to complete all gutter installations per the manufacturer's specifications to achieve the best results.
Examine Warranties
Only hire a company that offers strong manufacturer warranties on materials as well as their own installation guarantees. Look for warranties that last 5 to 10 years for standard aluminum gutters and 1 to 3 years for labor.
Gutter Installation Materials
Go for resilient materials – for example, heavy-gauge aluminum – that won't decay, rust, or warp over time. Materials that can handle Redmond’s weather are best. Be sure any paints and finishes also have an equally long lifespan.
Questions to Ask
As you compare potential gutter installation companies, be sure to ask specific questions including these:
- Can you provide a detailed quote for both full gutter replacement and fixes for problem areas? Get proposals in writing to ensure you understand the cost of your gutter installation before the project begins.
- How will you ensure the new gutters have the right pitch and slope to avoid standing water? Correct slope and pitch significantly diminish overflow risk. Your gutter installation specialist should know how to properly align a gutter system with your roof.
- How long will the full installation process take? Most companies can complete installations in about 24 hours.
- What materials are best for my gutters based on my specific home style and the local weather conditions? Factors such as Redmond'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.
- How do you make sure there’s smooth integration with my existing roof? Find out whether the company includes steps like underlayment replacement.
- Can you also install gutter guards? Putting in gutter guards helps prevent clogging that results from leaves, twigs, and other debris falling into your gutters.
- What kind of warranties are there for materials and workmanship? Quality materials typically have 5–10 year warranties. Labor is usually back by a 1-3 year guarantee.
Thoroughly vetting your options before deciding on a company will help you choose the best gutter installer. Investing in new gutters now helps prevent much pricier water and structural damage later.
