1. Know Your Options
Did you know there are more than 20 different types of home gutters? With all the options, you can get lost looking for what's best for you and the least expensive.

The important thing to know is the difference between regular aluminum gutters and seamless gutters. Regular aluminum gutters are pre-made. The installers then bind the pieces together to fit the length of your roof.

Seamless gutters are custom-made on-site to fit YOUR roof. Like those built by Colorado Seamless Gutters, seamless gutters don't require seams between gutter pieces which significantly reduces leaks.

2. Know Your Situation
Imagine you just paid good money to install gutters on your home when a rainstorm overpowers them. They burst, come crashing down, and are totally ruined.

Have you considered the fact that the rate and kind of rainfall in your area requires a certain type of gutter? You must understand YOUR local rainfall and climate before choosing a gutter!

Do you have varying roof lines? Does your roof have varying steepness in certain areas? These things are important to consider.

Be aware of these aspects of your roof and home when you meet with a professional.

3. Do Your Research
Ask around! Talk to neighbors, friends, and family in your area who've had gutters installed. Their hard-earned wisdom is wisdom you can put into practice without the same trial and error!

Utilize the internet. Search for local, reliable gutter installation companies and check out their reviews. Keep an eye out for reviews about precision, quality, and timing.

If you're investing in new gutters then you want your installation company to really know their stuff! A good installation company should be able to tell you the pros and cons of different types of gutters. For example, they should know that seamless gutters not only decrease leaks but also require less maintenance and last longer.

4. Get Multiple Estimates
Most professional gutter installation companies offer free estimates. This means they will come to your house, do some measuring, and give you a potential estimated cost.
​
This benefits you because not only do you get to know roughly how much it'll cost, you can also shop around! Getting multiple estimates allows you to compare prices and even negotiate prices.

5. Why a Professional?
After you get multiple quotes, you might think to yourself, "Wait, can't I just do this myself for cheaper? Why am I hiring a professional?" This is a great question and one every homeowner wonders!

A good gutter company promises quality work done by experienced installers. Their results should be long-lasting and look professional.
