How do you find good gutter installers in your area?
Short answer. Look for an installer who forms seamless gutters on site, can tell you the coil thickness and hanger spacing they use, sizes gutters and downspouts to your roof instead of quoting one size for every house, and prices fascia repair in writing before starting. Confirm liability insurance and a written workmanship warranty, and check recent local reviews.
Questions that separate good installers
- Seamless or sectional? A crew with a gutter machine forms each run from a continuous coil on site, leaving joints only at corners and outlets. Sectional gutters have seams every several feet.
- What coil thickness? Thicker aluminum resists dents from ladders, limbs and hail. Ask for the number.
- What hangers, how far apart? Hidden hangers screwed into solid fascia about every 2 feet beat spikes.
- How are gutters sized? They should look at roof area and pitch and recommend 5-inch or 6-inch accordingly, plus downspout size and locations.
- Where will the water go? Ask about extensions, splash blocks or tie-ins to underground drains, and whether existing buried lines get flushed and tested.
- What about rotted fascia? Get the per-foot repair price in writing before they start pulling old gutters.
- How does it meet the roof edge? The gutter should sit under drip edge or gutter apron so no water runs behind it.
Red flags
No physical address or local business license, cash-only pricing, pressure to sign the same day, and anyone offering to cover your insurance deductible, which is illegal in Georgia. After hailstorms, dented gutters and downspouts often belong in the roof claim rather than a separate cash job.
Roof and gutters together
If your roof is aging, the best time to replace gutters is during the roof replacement, so the drip edge and gutters are set together.
