Background/Proof of Work: A reputable gutter installation company should have multiple documents to show you when coming out to your home. They should be able to provide you a diagram of the areas on your home that need gutters. As well, they should be able to provide reasons why the gutters are needed in those areas.

Price & Payment: Before you commit to a gutter installation project, a contract should be supplied that provides itemized pricing. The downpayment should not be more than a 1/3 of the total of the project. If you inquire about a gutter installation contractor that demands the full price upfront, then that is a huge red flag.

Insurance Policy: A reliable and reputable gutter installation company should be ready to supply a copy of their insurance policy. If the contractor doesn’t carry insurance and an installer falls during a gutter installation project, the homeowner could be stuck with the bill for their medical expenses.

Open vs. Closed Style Gutters: Gutters are offered in two different types of styles: open and closed style configurations. A gutter company should be able to offer both styles and explain the differences between the two. They should also be able to explain what gutter style is more beneficial for your home.

Warranty Information: Top gutter installation companies offer warranties on their products and installation. You are choosing the right gutter installation contractor if they are discussing lifetime warranties on the workmanship, clogging, and finish of the gutters.

References: Established and trustworthy contractors have a long list of happy clients that they are willing to put you in contact with. When talking to the references, ask them how the job site was kept, how the contractor handled safety protocols, if the job was completed on time, and if they would hire them again. All these questions will give you the best and true idea of how they are as a business.
