Gutter Services
Full-service gutter installation companies give homeowners the best value. Each Keller provider we recommend can support you with many services, such as the following:
- Installation: Licensed gutter companies have the resources and knowledge to custom-cut and install new gutters without damaging your roof.
- Cleaning: Regular gutter cleaning is essential for success, but it isn't as simple as it looks. A professional can handle the cleaning for you to help prevent clogging, warping, and overflowing.
- Gutter guard installation: By hiring a professional to install gutter guards, you'll boost your system's efficiency and improve its lifespan by preventing clogs from plant matter. Guards also help stop pests from making their home in your gutters.

If you find a local gutter company you like, ask if they offer long-term contracts for installation, repairs, and cleaning. These packages are usually billed either monthly or annually.
How To Choose a Gutter Installer
Thoroughly evaluate gutter installers before choosing one. This helps you avoid overinflated prices and low-quality work. When researching gutter installation companies, look for these attributes:
Assess Their Experience
Choose an established local provider with years, or ideally decades, of gutter installation experience under their belt. An experienced company understands your local climate and weather as well as local 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 documentation. Ask to see licensing, bonding, and insurance documentation prior to signing a contract. Proper certification and insurance mean that the company is legitimate and that you'll avoid issues if property damage or an injury occurs during the project.
Check Reviews and Referrals
Read online reviews on sites such as Google, the Better Business Bureau, and Yelp. Check that the company provides high-quality work and good customer service. Look for long-term happy customers to get an idea of a provider's dependability. Watch for red flags like unresolved complaints or incomplete jobs. All the providers we recommend boast a good average rating across a high number of reviews.
Choose Reputable Brands
Choose a gutter installer that's certified by the gutter maker, as this means the business has the right expertise and knows how to install gutters according to the manufacturer's specifications. This helps ensure 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 warranties on basic aluminum gutters and 1 to 3 years on labor.
Gutter Installation Materials
Look for durable, long-lasting materials such as heavy gauge aluminum that are unlikely to warp, rust, or decay over time. The right materials will hold up under your local weather in Keller. You'll want to make certain that any paints and finishes also have a long lifespan and don't easily peel or fade.
Questions to Ask
To properly evaluate gutter installation providers, you'll need to take the time to ask detailed questions such as these:
- What are the specific warranty details for labor and materials? Quality materials are often backed by 5–10 year warranties. Labor is normally back by a 1-3 year warranty.
- How will you ensure a smooth integration with my existing roof? Check whether the company includes steps like underlayment replacement.
- What materials are best for my gutters based on my specific home style and the local weather conditions? Factors such as Keller's average annual rainfall and the risk of inclement weather in your area will affect the type and size of gutter you should get. Learn the benefits and drawbacks of each gutter material.
- Are you also able to install gutter guards? Putting in gutter guards helps prevent clogs that result from debris such as leaves falling into your gutters.
- How long does the installation process take? Most companies can finish installations in about 24 hours.
- Will you give me a detailed quote for both problem area fixes and full gutter replacement? Get estimates in writing to ensure you understand the price of your gutter installation before the project begins.
- How will you make sure that the new gutters have the right slope and pitch to avoid standing water? Proper pitch and slope helps prevent overflow. Your provider should know how to correctly align your gutter system with your home’s roof.
Spending time evaluating multiple companies helps you choose the right gutter installation company for your needs. Investing in new gutters can protect against much more costly water and structural damage in the future.
