If you want a quality leaf guard system, you must find an experienced installer. But when it comes time to hire one, you may think, “How will I know if this is a contractor I can trust with my home?” There are several approaches that homeowners can use to guarantee they select the best gutter guard installer to work on their project.
Licensing. Begin by verifying that the company you are considering is licensed in your state of residence. If a contractor from a neighboring state performs work on your home but is not licensed in your state, you will lose an important layer of protection.
Insurance. If you hire an uninsured contractor, you take on a great deal of risk. If a contractor’s employee falls from a ladder and is injured while working on your home, you could be held legally liable for his medical expenses and future compensation. If the contractor causes damage to your property or your neighbor’s property and is not insured with general liability insurance, you can also be held liable for the damages.
Experience. Roofers, siding companies and landscapers often provide gutter services as a way to extend the seasonality of their business. However, these contractors will be less experienced at the installation and maintenance of gutter guards than a certified Gutter Helmet® installer. Don’t wonder; hire a company with a track record of experience.
Reputation. Is the company legitimate? What do former customers say about the contractor’s work? A company that is open year-round and has been in business for many years is the only company you want working on your home.
