Gutter Services
Most of the Lehi gutter installation companies we recommend are full-service. Some of the many services they offer include the following:
- Repair: Gutter problems can happen to anyone. Whether you're struggling with leaks, cracks, or sagging gutters, a local Lehi professional can inspect and repair the issue before it gets worse.
- Cleaning: Routine gutter cleaning is essential for success, but it's not the most pleasant job to do on your own. A professional can handle the dirty work for you to help prevent warping, overflowing, and clogging.
- Gutter guard installation: By hiring a professional to install gutter guards, you'll boost your system's efficiency and increase its lifespan by preventing clogs from plant matter. Guards also help stop pests from settling inside your gutters.
- Installation: Whether you're buying sectional gutters or custom-cut seamless ones, an expert technician will have the necessary training to install your new gutter system safely.
If you're particularly satisfied with a company's workmanship, ask if they offer long-term contracts for installation, cleaning, and repairs. These packages are usually billed either monthly or annually.
How To Choose a Gutter Installer
Research potential gutter installers thoroughly before hiring to avoid overinflated prices or poor work. Here’s what to look for when evaluating gutter installation professionals:
Assess Their Experience
When looking for gutter installation, we recommend choosing a local provider that's served your area for many years, ideally decades. A company’s expertise on the area's climate, weather, and popular home styles helps it assess your needs and get you the best gutters for your home. These well-established providers employ time-tested methods to ensure safe, effective 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 documentation means that a company follows best practices and 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 record of quality work and great customer service. Look for happy long-term customers to check a provider’s reliability. Watch 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
Look for a gutter installer that's certified directly by the manufacturer. This way, you’ll have a professional you can rely on who's trained to install your gutters per the manufacturer's specifications. This helps achieve the best results.
Examine Warranties
Try to pick companies that offer solid manufacturer guarantees on materials, plus their own installation guarantees. Look for 5 to 10 year guarantees on basic aluminum gutters and 1-3 years of labor coverage.
Gutter Installation Materials
Look for durable, long-lasting materials such as heavy gauge aluminum that won't easily rust, warp, or decay over time. The right materials will withstand your local weather in Lehi. Make sure 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 important questions such as these:
- Will you provide a detailed quote for both problem area fixes and full gutter replacement? Get proposals in writing to ensure you know the price of your gutter installation before the project begins.
- How will you ensure a smooth integration with my current roofing? See whether the company includes steps like underlayment replacement.
- How long is the full installation? Most providers are typically able to finish a gutter installation project in around a day.
- What gutter materials do you recommend for my specific home style and the local weather conditions? Factors such as Lehi's typical snowfall, 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 benefits and drawbacks of each gutter material.
- What steps do you take to ensure my new gutters have the optimal slope and pitch to prevent standing water? Proper slope and pitch greatly reduces the chance of overflow. Your installer should know how to align your gutter system with your home’s roof.
- Are you also able to install gutter guards? Adding gutter guards helps prevent clogging that results from leaves, twigs, and other debris falling into your gutters.
- What are the specific warranty details for labor and materials? High-quality materials usually come with 5–10 year warranties. Labor is usually back by a 1-3 year warranty.
Taking the steps to thoroughly vet and evaluate multiple companies will help you find the best gutter installer for your home. Upgrading to new gutters now helps prevent more expensive water and structural damage in the future.
