Hiring a Gutter Contractor: Qualities to Look For

Just like other components of your home, your gutters need special attention. After all, they work tirelessly throughout the year to drain precipitation away from your home, preventing water damage. If your gutters are old and worn down, you’ll need to find an honest, skilled, experienced contractor to provide you with an effective solution.

Barry Best Seamless Gutters shares the qualities you should look for when vetting prospective contractors:

Proven Reputation

A great way to determine the reliability of a gutter contractor is by reading through their client reviews. You can browse their website for testimonials to get an idea about the quality of service they’re likely to provide. It’s also a good idea to look them up on the Better Business Bureau. This will give you some details on how they’ve addressed concerns from previous clients.

License and Insurance

Always verify that a gutter contractor is licensed, bonded and insured. These qualifications not only reflect their expertise in the field, but they also protect you from liabilities in case of accidents. This will give you peace of mind knowing that your contractor complies with building codes and safety practices.

Commitment to Quality

Scrutinize the warranties offered by the contractor. A strong warranty serves as proof that the contractor stands behind the quality of their work.  If a problem arises after installation, a strong warranty will make you eligible for complimentary services.

At Barry Best Seamless Gutters, we install top-notch seamless gutters to ensure reliable protection from heavy downpours. We can also supplement them with our Gutter Helmet® gutter protection system, which prevents clogs and other gutter issues.
