Gutter Services
By hiring a full-service gutter installation company, you'll get the best value and longest lifespan from your system. The Henderson companies on our list can do all these jobs and more:
- Cleaning: Gutters require regular cleaning. Henderson residents have moderate tree cover, and while they experience a lot of rainfall, it probably won't be enough to clear clogs.
- Gutter guard installation: Gutter guards will help stop plant matter from clogging up your downspouts. No matter the age or style of your gutter system, a local gutter guard company can install the right guards for them.
- Repair: Whether you're dealing with cracking, mold, sagging, loose sections, or holes, an experienced Henderson gutter company can identify and resolve your gutter issues quickly.
- Installation: Whether you're buying sectional gutters or custom-cut seamless ones, an expert contractor will have the training needed to install your new gutter system safely.
If you find a local gutter company you like, they may offer long-term contracts for installation, repairs, and cleaning. These packages are typically billed either monthly or annually.
How To Choose a Gutter Installer
Doing comprehensive research on gutter companies ahead of time helps avoid shoddy workmanship and overinflated rates. When vetting gutter installers, look for:
Assess Their Experience
Look for an established local company with years, or ideally decades, of gutter installation experience under their belt. An experienced provider understands your local climate and weather as well as local home architecture styles and can help you find the best gutters for your house. It will also have proven systems for safe and efficient gutter installation.
Verify Proper Licensing and Insurance
Only hire a provider that's fully licensed, bonded, and insured. Ask to see copies of their license, bonds, and insurance documentation upfront before committing. Proper licensing and insurance protects you from liability and shows that the company is operating legally.
Check Reviews and Referrals
Browse online reviews on sites like Yelp, the Better Business Bureau, and Google. Verify that the company has a proven track record of excellent 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 our recommended providers boast a good average rating across a high number of reviews.
Choose Reputable Brands
Choose a gutter installer endorsed by the manufacturer, as this means the professional meets the manufacturer's standards and knows how to install gutters according to the manufacturer's specifications. This helps ensure the best results.
Examine Warranties
Only use contractors that offer strong manufacturer warranties on supplies as well as their own installation warranties. Look for 5 to 10 year guarantees on basic aluminum gutters and 1 to 3 years on labor.
Gutter Installation Materials
Look for durable materials – such as heavy-gauge aluminum – that won't easily warp, rust, or decay over time. Materials that can withstand Henderson’s local weather are best. Also check that paints and finishes have an equally long lifespan.
Questions to Ask
Be sure to ask detailed questions when comparing gutter installers. You'll want to ask questions including these:
- Can you provide a detailed quote for both problem area fixes and full gutter replacement? Get quotes in writing from providers, so you know exactly what the price of gutter installation will be before the work begins.
- What materials are best for my gutters based on my specific home style and the local weather conditions? Consider the pros and cons of each gutter material, considering critical factors such as Henderson's average annual rainfall and the weight and volume of the gutters.
- How long is the installation process? Most companies can complete installations in a day or so.
- What steps do you take to ensure my new gutters have the right pitch and slope to reduce standing water? Proper slope and pitch helps prevent overflow. Your installer should know how to align your gutter system with your home’s roof.
- How will you ensure a smooth integration with my current roof? Look for providers that complete all steps, including ones like underlayment replacement.
- What are the specific warranty coverages on labor and materials? High-quality materials usually come with 5–10 year warranties. Labor is normally back by a 1-3 year guarantee.
- Are you also able to install gutter guards? Gutter guards help prevent obstructions that occur due to debris from trees falling into your gutters.
Taking the time to thoroughly research all of your options will help you choose the right gutter installer for your home's needs. Investing in new gutters helps avoid much more costly water and structural damage down the road.
