How To Choose a Gutter Installer
Thoroughly researching gutter companies ahead of time helps you avoid overpaying or getting low-quality work. When vetting gutter installers, look for:
Assess Their Experience
We recommend choosing local gutter companies that have been in operation for many years or decades. Companies with this kind of expertise are familiar with local weather and climate patterns as well as popular architecture styles, which helps them properly evaluate your needs and get you the right gutters for your home. Generally, extensive experience also means proven techniques for safe, efficient gutter installation.
Verify Proper Licensing and Insurance
When picking a company, make sure that it has the proper documentation. Ask to see licensing, bonding, and insurance documentation before committing. Proper certification and insurance mean that the company is legitimate and that you'll avoid issues if an injury or property damage occurs during the project.
Check Reviews and Referrals
Spend time looking through online reviews on sites such as the Better Business Bureau, Yelp, and Google to confirm that the company has a proven track record of providing high-quality work and good customer service. Look for long-term satisfied customers to understand the company's overall reliability. Watch for any red flags, such as poor communication or unfinished jobs. All the providers we recommend have a high number of reviews with a good average rating.
Choose Reputable Brands
Choose a gutter installer that's certified by the gutter maker, as this means the provider truly understands the process and knows how to install gutters according to the manufacturer's specifications. This helps achieve the best results.
Examine Warranties
Choose contractors that provide robust manufacturer warranties on supplies, as well as their own installation warranties. Look for 5-10 year warranties on regular aluminum gutters and 1 to 3 year warranties on labor.
Gutter Installation Materials
Pick durable 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 Myrtle Beach. Make sure any paints and finishes will also last a long time.
Questions to Ask
Be sure to ask specific questions when comparing gutter installers. You'll want to ask questions including these:
- How will you ensure the new gutters have the right pitch and slope to reduce standing water? Proper slope and pitch greatly reduces the chance of overflow. Your installer should know how to correctly align your gutter system with your home’s roofing specifications.
- How long is the full installation? Most companies are typically able to finish a gutter installation project in around one day's time.
- How will you ensure a smooth integration with my current roof? Look for companies that consider steps such as underlayment replacement.
- What gutter materials are recommended for the local weather conditions and my specific home style? Consider the pros and cons of each gutter material, taking into account key factors such as Myrtle Beach's average annual rainfall and the weight and volume of the gutters.
- What are the specific warranty details for materials and labor? Quality materials typically come with 5–10 year warranties. Labor is normally back by a 1-3 year warranty.
- Can you also install gutter guards? Adding gutter guards helps prevent clogs that result from debris such as leaves falling into your gutters.
- Will you give me a detailed quote for both full gutter replacement and fixes for problem areas? Get written estimates from companies, so you understand exactly what the price of gutter installation will be before the project starts.
Spending time evaluating multiple companies helps you find the right gutter installer for your home's needs. Investing in new gutters helps prevent much more costly water and structural damage down the road.
