How To Choose a Gutter Installer
Doing comprehensive research on gutter companies ahead of time helps you avoid overpaying or getting low-quality work. When vetting gutter installers, look for:
Assess Their Experience
Look for an established local provider with many years, ideally decades, of gutter installation experience. An experienced company understands your local climate, weather patterns, and 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
When picking a professional, make sure that they have the proper qualifications. Ask to see licensing, bonding, and insurance documentation before signing a contract. Proper credentials and insurance mean that the company follows regulations and that you'll avoid issues if property damage or an injury occurs during the project.
Check Reviews and Referrals
Spend time reading online reviews on sites such as the Better Business Bureau, Yelp, and Google. Confirm that the provider has a record of excellent work and great customer service. Look for long-term satisfied customers to check a provider’s reliability. Watch out for 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
Choose a gutter installer that has the manufacturer's seal of approval, as this means the provider truly understands the process and knows how to install gutters according to the manufacturer's specifications. This helps ensure the best results.
Examine Warranties
Only hire a provider that offers strong manufacturer warranties on materials as well as their own installation guarantees. Look for warranties that last 5–10 years for standard aluminum gutters and 1 to 3 years for labor.
Gutter Installation Materials
Go for durable materials – for example, heavy-gauge aluminum – that won't decay, warp, or rust over time. Materials that can handle Kearns’s weather are best. Be sure any paints and finishes also have a long lifespan.
Questions to Ask
As you compare potential gutter installation companies, make sure to ask detailed questions like these:
- What warranties do you offer for materials and labor? High-quality materials typically have 5–10 year warranties. Labor is normally back by a 1-3 year warranty.
- How long will the full installation process take? Most companies are able to get installations done in about 24 hours.
- What gutter materials do you recommend for my specific home style and the local weather conditions? Factors such as Kearns' average snowfall, rainfall, and the risk of inclement weather in your area will influence the type and size of gutter that's best for you. Learn the pros and cons of each gutter material.
- How will you ensure a smooth integration with my existing roofing? Look for steps like underlayment replacement.
- Can you provide a detailed quote for both problem area fixes and full gutter replacement? Get proposals in writing to ensure you understand the cost of your gutter installation before the project begins.
- Are you also able to install gutter guards? Putting in gutter guards helps prevent blockages that result from leaves, twigs, and other debris getting into your gutters.
- What steps do you take to ensure my new gutters have the right pitch and slope to avoid standing water? Proper slope and pitch greatly reduces the chance of overflow. Your provider should know how to correctly align a gutter system with your home’s roofing specifications.
Doing your due diligence to research and compare providers will help you find the best gutter installer for your home. Installing new gutters now helps avoid more expensive water and structural damage down the road.
