How To Choose a Gutter Installer
Doing comprehensive research on gutter companies ahead of time helps avoid shoddy workmanship and overinflated rates. When assessing gutter installers, look for:
Assess Their Experience
When looking for gutter installation, for the best results, you should select a local company that's served your area for many years, ideally decades. A provider's extensive knowledge of the area's climate, weather, and popular home styles helps it evaluate your needs and get you the right gutters for your home. These well-established providers employ time-tested methods to enable safe, effective gutter installation.
Verify Proper Licensing and Insurance
Make sure to pick a provider with the proper credentials. Ask to see licensing, bonding, and insurance documentation before committing to a contract. Current credentials mean that a company meets standards and follows local regulations, giving you peace of mind.
Check Reviews and Referrals
Spend time reading online reviews on sites such as the Better Business Bureau, Yelp, and Google to determine if the company has a proven track record of providing good customer service and great project results. Look for long-term satisfied customers to get a sense of the company's overall reliability. Watch for any 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
Look for a gutter installer that's endorsed by the manufacturer through certification. This way, you’ll have a business with manufacturer-backed credentials that's trained to install your gutters per the manufacturer's specifications. This helps achieve the best results.
Examine Warranties
Only use providers that offer strong manufacturer warranties on supplies as well as their own installation guarantees. Look for 5 to 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 as time passes. Materials that can handle Harker Heights’s local weather are best. Also check that paints and finishes have an equally lengthy lifespan.
Questions to Ask
When comparing potential gutter installation companies, make sure to ask a number of detailed questions:
- How will you make sure there’s smooth integration with my existing roofing? Look for steps such as underlayment replacement.
- What materials are recommended for my gutters based on my specific home style and the local weather conditions? Factors such as Harker Heights' average annual rainfall and the risk of inclement weather in your area will affect the size and type of gutter you should get. Learn the pros and cons of each gutter material.
- Can you provide a detailed quote for both full gutter replacement and problem area fixes? Get estimates in writing to make sure you understand the price of your gutter installation before the job begins.
- Are you also able to install gutter guards? Installing gutter guards helps prevent clogging that results from leaves and debris getting into your gutters.
- How long is the installation process? Most companies can usually complete a gutter installation project in around a day.
- What warranties do you offer for labor and materials? Quality materials are typically backed by 5–10 year warranties. Labor is normally back by a 1-3 year warranty.
- How will you make sure that the new gutters have the right slope and pitch to prevent standing water? Proper pitch and slope helps prevent overflow. Your contractor should know how to align a gutter system with your home’s roof.
Taking the time to thoroughly research providers will help you choose the best gutter installation company. Investing in new gutters now helps prevent much pricier water and structural damage down the road.
