Gutter Services
By choosing a full-service gutter installation company, you'll get the longest lifespan and best value from your system. The East Wenatchee companies we recommend can do all these jobs and more:
- Repair: East Wenatchee homeowners are no stranger to gutter issues, from cracks and sagging to mold and mildew. A local gutter company can promptly repair your gutters without breaking the bank.
- Gutter guard installation: By hiring a professional to install gutter guards, you can increase your system's efficiency and improve its lifespan by preventing clogs from leaves and seeds. Guards also help stop pests from settling inside your gutters.
- Installation: Whether you're purchasing sectional gutters or custom-cut seamless ones, an expert technician will have the training needed to install your new gutter system safely.

If you find a local gutter company you like, they might offer long-term contracts for installation, repairs, and cleaning. These packages are normally 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, for the best results, you should select a local company that's served your area for many years, ideally decades. A company’s expertise on the area's weather, climate, and popular home styles helps it evaluate your needs and get you the right gutters for your home. These well-established companies employ time-tested methods to ensure safe, effective gutter installation.
Verify Proper Licensing and Insurance
Make sure to choose a company with the right credentials. Ask to see licensing, bonding, and insurance documentation before committing to a contract. Current documentation means that a company meets standards and follows local regulations, giving you peace of mind.
Check Reviews and Referrals
Read online reviews on sites such as Yelp, Google, and the Better Business Bureau. Verify that the company provides quality work and good customer service. Look for long-term happy customers to understand a company's dependability. Watch for red flags like poor communication or incomplete jobs. All our recommended providers boast a good average rating across a high number of reviews.
Choose Reputable Brands
Look for a gutter installer that's officially certified 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 ensure the best results.
Examine Warranties
Only use providers that offer strong manufacturer guarantees on supplies as well as their own installation guarantees. Look for 5-10 year warranties on basic aluminum gutters and 1-3 years on labor.
Gutter Installation Materials
Go for tough materials – for example, heavy-gauge aluminum – that won't warp, rust, or decay over time. Materials that can withstand East Wenatchee’s weather are best. Be sure any paints and finishes also have a long lifespan.
Questions to Ask
To properly evaluate potential gutter companies, you'll want to make sure to ask thorough questions such as these:
- What materials are recommended for my gutters based on my specific home style and the local weather conditions? Consider the pros and cons of each gutter material, taking into account critical factors such as East Wenatchee's typical snowfall, rainfall, and the weight and volume of the gutters.
- How long will the full installation process take? Most companies can complete a gutter installation project in around one day's time.
- What kind of warranties are there for materials and workmanship? High-quality materials are often backed by 5–10 year warranties. Labor is normally back by a 1-3 year warranty.
- What steps do you take to ensure my new gutters have the optimal slope and pitch to reduce standing water? Proper slope and pitch helps prevent overflow. Your installer should know how to correctly align your gutter system with your home’s roofing specifications.
- Can you provide a detailed quote for both full gutter replacement and problem area fixes? Get written estimates from providers, so you understand exactly what the price of gutter installation will be before the project starts.
- How do you guarantee a smooth integration with my current roofing? Look for providers that complete all steps, including ones such as underlayment replacement.
- Are you also able to install gutter guards? Adding gutter guards helps prevent clogs that occur due to leaves and other falling debris.
Taking the steps to thoroughly vet and evaluate multiple companies will help you find the best gutter installation company for your home. Upgrading to new gutters now helps avoid more expensive water and structural damage later on.
