How To Choose a Gutter Installer
Research potential gutter installers very carefully before hiring to avoid overinflated prices or poor work. Here’s what to look for when researching gutter installation companies:
Assess Their Experience
Choose an established local provider with years, or ideally decades, of gutter installation experience under their belt. An experienced company will understand your local climate, weather patterns, and home architecture styles and can help you find the best gutters for your home. It will 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 credentials. Ask to see licensing, bonding, and insurance documentation before signing a contract. Proper licensing and insurance mean that the company follows regulations and that you'll avoid issues if property damage or an injury occurs during the project.
Check Reviews and Referrals
Spend time reading online reviews on sites such as Yelp, Google, and the Better Business Bureau. Verify that the provider has a track record of excellent work and great customer service. Look for happy long-term customers to check a provider’s reliability. Watch out for red flags like poor communication or unfinished jobs. All our recommended providers 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 company that has completed the training program to complete all gutter installations per the manufacturer's specifications for the best results.
Examine Warranties
Choose contractors that offer robust manufacturer guarantees on supplies, as well as their own installation guarantees. Look for 5 to 10 year guarantees on regular aluminum gutters and 1 to 3 year warranties on labor.
Gutter Installation Materials
Pick long-lasting materials like heavy-gauge aluminum that won't rust, decay, or warp over time. The right materials will be able to hold up under the weather in Burleson. Make sure any paints and finishes will also last a long time.
Questions to Ask
As you compare potential gutter installers, be sure to ask specific questions including these:
- What steps do you take to ensure my new gutters have the optimal pitch and slope to avoid standing water? Correct slope and pitch 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 pros and cons of each gutter material, considering important factors such as Burleson's typical annual rainfall and the weight and volume of the gutters.
- How will you guarantee a smooth integration with my existing roofing? Look for companies that consider steps such as underlayment replacement.
- What kind of warranties are there for labor and materials? High-quality materials typically come with 5–10 year warranties. Labor is normally back by a 1-3 year warranty.
- Will you give me a detailed quote for both full gutter replacement and fixes for problem areas? Get proposals in writing to make sure you understand the cost of your gutter installation before the work begins.
- How long does full installation take? Most companies can complete installations in a day or so.
- Can you also install gutter guards? Adding gutter guards helps prevent clogs that result from debris such as leaves getting into your gutters.
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 in the future.
