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 vetting gutter installation professionals:
Assess Their Experience
We recommend choosing local gutter providers that have been operating for many years or decades. Companies with this level of experience are familiar with local climate, weather trends, and architecture styles, which helps them properly assess 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 company that's fully licensed, bonded, and insured. Ask to see copies of their license, bonds, and insurance documentation upfront before committing. Proper certification and insurance protects you from liability and shows that the company is operating legally.
Check Reviews and Referrals
Browse online reviews on sites like the Better Business Bureau, Google, and Yelp. Check that the company has a proven track record of quality work and good customer service. Look for happy long-term customers to get insights into a provider’s reliability. Watch out for red flags, like 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 gutter installer with certification from the gutter manufacturer, as this means the installer went through the proper training and knows how to install gutters according to the manufacturer's specifications. This ensures that you get the best results.
Examine Warranties
Only use companies that offer strong manufacturer warranties on supplies as well as their own installation guarantees. Look for 5 to 10 year warranties on basic aluminum gutters and 1 to 3 years on labor.
Gutter Installation Materials
Go for resilient materials – for example, heavy-gauge aluminum – that won't rust, warp, or decay over time. Materials that can handle Warren’s weather are best. Be sure any paints and finishes also have a lengthy lifespan.
Questions to Ask
To properly evaluate gutter installation providers, you'll want to make sure to ask detailed questions such as these:
- How long will the full installation process take? Most companies can finish installations in around one day.
- What warranties do you offer for materials and labor? High-quality materials usually have 5–10 year warranties. Labor is normally back by a 1-3 year guarantee.
- Are you also able to install gutter guards? Adding gutter guards helps prevent blockages that occur due to debris from trees falling into your gutters.
- How will you ensure the new gutters have the optimal pitch and slope to prevent standing water? Correct pitch and slope help reduce overflow risk. Your gutter installation company should know how to properly align a gutter system with your roof.
- What materials are recommended for my gutters based on the local weather conditions and my specific home style? Consider the benefits and drawbacks of each gutter material, accounting for important factors such as Warren's typical rainfall, snowfall, and the size and capacity of the gutters.
- How will you make sure there’s smooth integration with my current roof? Look for companies that consider steps like underlayment replacement.
- Will you provide a detailed quote for both full gutter replacement and fixes for problem areas? Get estimates in writing to ensure you know the price of your gutter installation before the work begins.
Taking the time to thoroughly research providers will help you select the right gutter installer. Investing in new gutters now helps avoid much pricier water and structural damage later.
