Gutter Services
Full-service gutter installation companies provide homeowners with the most value for their dollar. Each Keller provider on our list can support you with many services, including the following:
- Installation: Licensed gutter professionals have the knowledge and resources to custom-cut and install new gutters without damaging your roof.
- Cleaning: Gutters require routine cleaning. Keller residents have moderate tree cover and rainfall, so they should clean their gutters two to four times per year.
- Gutter guard installation: By hiring a professional to install gutter guards, you can increase your system's efficiency and increase its lifespan by preventing clogs from leaves and seeds. Guards also help stop pests from settling inside your gutters.
- Repair: Gutter problems can happen to anyone. Whether you're struggling with sagging gutters, cracks, or leaks, a local Keller professional can evaluate and fix the problem before it can worsen.
If you find a gutter services provider you want to stick with, many offer long-term maintenance plans that cover new installation, routine cleaning, and repairs as needed. You could pay monthly or annually for these packages.
How To Choose a Gutter Installer
Research potential gutter installers carefully before hiring to avoid overinflated prices or poor work. Here’s what to look for when evaluating gutter installation companies:
Assess Their Experience
When searching for a gutter installation company, try to choose a local company that's been in business for many years or decades. This experience means that the company understands your area's climate, weather patterns, and home designs, which helps them choose the perfect gutters for your house. Additionally, these companies have proven practices for safe, efficient gutter installation.
Verify Proper Licensing and Insurance
Make sure to choose a company with the proper qualifications. Ask to see licensing, bonding, and insurance documentation before committing to a contract. Current credentials mean that a company follows best practices and local regulations, giving you peace of mind.
Check Reviews and Referrals
Read online reviews on sites like Google, Yelp, and the Better Business Bureau. Verify that the company has a record of quality work and great customer service. Look for satisfied longstanding customers to get insights into 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 an installer that is formally trained to complete their gutter installations per the manufacturer's specifications to achieve the best results.
Examine Warranties
Only hire a company that offers strong manufacturer warranties on materials as well as their own installation warranties. Look for guarantees that last 5–10 years for standard aluminum gutters and 1 to 3 years for labor.
Gutter Installation Materials
Pick long-lasting materials like heavy-gauge aluminum that won't rust, warp, or decay over time. The right materials will be able to hold up under the weather in Keller. Make sure any paints and finishes will also last a long time.
Questions to Ask
As you compare potential gutter installation companies, be sure to ask key questions such as these:
- What are the specific warranty details for materials and labor? High-quality materials usually have 5–10 year warranties. Labor is normally back by a 1-3 year warranty.
- How do you ensure a smooth integration with my existing roof? Look for providers that complete all steps, including ones such as underlayment replacement.
- What gutter materials do you recommend for my specific home style and the local weather conditions? Consider the benefits and drawbacks of each gutter material, accounting for critical factors such as Keller's average annual rainfall and the size and capacity of the gutters.
- Can you also install gutter guards? Adding gutter guards helps prevent clogs that occur due to leaves, twigs, and other debris falling into your gutters.
- How long is the full installation process? Most companies can complete 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 make sure you understand the price of your gutter installation before the work begins.
- What steps do you take to ensure my new gutters have the optimal pitch and slope to avoid standing water? Proper pitch and slope significantly decreases the likelihood of overflow. Your provider should know how to align your gutter system with your home’s roofing specifications.
Thoroughly vetting your options before deciding on a company will help you choose the right gutter installation company. Investing in new gutters now helps avoid much pricier water and structural damage down the road.
