How To Choose a Gutter Installer
Thoroughly researching gutter companies ahead of time helps avoid shoddy workmanship and overinflated rates. When assessing gutter installers, look for:
Assess Their Experience
Choose 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 right gutters for your home. It will also have proven systems for safe and efficient gutter installation.
Verify Proper Licensing and Insurance
Make sure to pick a provider with the right qualifications. 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 searching online reviews on sites such as the Better Business Bureau, Yelp, and Google. Confirm that the provider has a proven record of excellent work and great customer service. Look for long-term satisfied customers to evaluate a provider’s reliability. Watch out for red flags like poor communication or unfinished 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 installer went through the proper training and knows how to install gutters according to the manufacturer's specifications. This helps you get the best results.
Examine Warranties
Choose contractors that have robust manufacturer warranties 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
Look for durable materials – such as heavy-gauge aluminum – that won't easily warp, decay, or rust over time. Materials that can withstand Woodway’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 evaluating different gutter installers. You'll want to ask questions including these:
- What warranties do you offer for materials and labor? High-quality materials usually come with 5–10 year warranties. Labor is usually back by a 1-3 year guarantee.
- How long is the full installation process? Most companies are able to get installations done in about 24 hours.
- What gutter materials are recommended for the local weather conditions and my specific home style? Factors such as Woodway's average annual rainfall and the risk of inclement weather in your area will influence the size and type of gutter that's best for you. Learn the advantages and disadvantages of each gutter material.
- How will you ensure the new gutters have the right slope and pitch to reduce standing water? Proper slope and pitch greatly reduces the chance of overflow. Your contractor should know how to align your gutter system with your home’s roofing specifications.
- Can you also install gutter guards? Installing gutter guards helps prevent clogging that results from leaves and debris falling into your gutters.
- How will you make sure there’s smooth integration with my current roof? Look for companies that consider steps such as underlayment replacement.
- Will you give me a detailed quote for both full gutter replacement and fixes for problem areas? Get written estimates from companies, so you know exactly what the price of gutter installation will be before the work begins.
Vetting multiple companies before making a decision helps you pick the best gutter installation company for you. Investing in new gutters today helps avoid costly water and structural damage in the future.
