Every commercial and residential space needs properly working roof gutters. In just one inch of rainfall, the average roof collects up to 600 gallons of water. Without good commercial rain gutters, rainfall has nowhere else to go but into your insulation, your walls, and foundation.

Most commercial property owners understand the need to replace their gutters when they begin to pull away from the building, crack, or sag. However, many property owners are surprisingly unsure of what to look for in choosing a gutter replacement service.

Choosing a gutter contractor for your gutter installation
It’s always a good idea to look into the potential business you’re thinking of hiring to do a home improvement job on a commercial or residential property. By researching the gutter companies you’re considering to do the job, you’ll feel more informed and therefore more confident about your decision. Consider doing the following while you’re still indecisive regarding which gutter replacement service to hire for the job:

1. Do your research
   When searching for the right commercial rain gutters installation company, you want to be sure you’re getting the right company for you. Read online reviews, ask friends, and look for recommendations.
2. Ask for estimates
   Once you’ve found a contractor that fits your needs, ask them for a detailed written report of their estimates. They’ll provide you with a detailed description that involves the work that would be performed on your commercial property and the payment specifics alongside the service. The roofing contractors should also include any contract information should you have any additional questions.
3. Ask about insurance
   Finally, the contractor you decide on should be properly licensed in your area as well as properly insured. Reputable roofing contractors typically offer a warranty during the project and therefore you should ask your contractor for this information before the project begins.

Consider the types of products the gutter service provides
It may be in your best interest to consider the types of products a gutter service offers if you’re considering changing the types of commercial rain gutters your property has been using. Certain gutter installation businesses offer copper gutters, aluminum gutters, or steel gutters. Others may offer to install a gutter guard with your gutters.

When hiring a commercial gutter installation service to replace your property’s rain gutters, be sure you’re taking into full consideration all of your business’ needs. Look for the service that best meets these needs professionally and has a good reputation. No person has ever regretted doing too much research on a service they plan to hire.
