Gutters play an important role in keeping your home free of any water-related damage, such as basement flooding and soil erosion. When it is time to select new gutters, there are several considerations you need to keep in mind in order to find the right system for your home. To help you, our gutter installation specialists at Patriot Gutters LLC share three essential questions you can ask your gutter installer.
1. Do you offer seamless gutters?
Seamless gutters are a continuous piece of gutter usually cut from a piece of metal. Since this gutter system only has seams at the corners, they tend to be stronger and more rigid than traditional sectional gutters, reducing the chance of leakage. Investing in seamless gutters can increase the overall value of your home and safeguard your roof from rot and shingle damage.
2. How will you fasten the gutters to the roof?
Nails are the older method of fastening gutters to a roof. However, they tend to pull out over time due to the weight of rainwater or melting snow, causing gutters to sag and detach from the house. Screws, on the other hand, are more reliable as they do not pull out or corrode as years go by. Most gutter repairs companies use long-form screws during installation.
3. Are all workers on the job insured?
Work with a gutter company that carries liability insurance and workers’ compensation insurance to provide coverage for your home and their employees. A reputable company should be able to show the relevant documentation during the consultation process.
