Are you ready to have new gutters installed on your home, but unsure about how the process works? If so, it will help to have an overview of the process so that you can know exactly what to expect.
Receive An Estimate
Everything starts with having a consultation with a professional gutter installation company so that you can receive an estimate. They'll come out to your home and take various measurements to determine the number of gutters that you need. They'll then come up with a design for how the gutters will be installed, which is done by factoring in the slope of the roof and where the gutters are emptying the water on the ground. Do not assume that you are going to get new gutters in the exact same place as the old ones.
Select The Materials
You'll need to make a decision about what kind of materials you want the gutters to be made out of. You'll be given options for aluminum, steel, copper, or anything else that may look good on your home. This will allow you to compare the different materials available to you, as well as compare the various pros and cons of each.
You'll also need to make a decision about if you want sectional or seamless gutters. Seamless gutters have many benefits over sectional gutters because the material is formed on-site to the exact length that they need to be. With no seams between sections, it allows water to seamlessly flow toward the downspout and not allow debris to get stuck on the edges.
Install The Gutters
Your gutter installation company will return to perform the actual installation. Since they have already taken measurements and have a plan for how the gutters will be installed, they'll be able to quickly and effectively get the installation finished in a single day. This will ensure that you do not go without gutters for more than a few hours.
The installation company is going to test the gutters once everything is finished. This will be done by spraying water on your roof to ensure that there are no leaks along the gutters. Now is the time to make corrections if leaks are found.
All that's left is to clean up your yard after the job is finished, and then you can enjoy your new gutters.

After struggling for years, I finally scored my dream job and started to focus on redecorating my home. At first, I wasn't sure how much of an impact I was going to be able to make, but after sitting down and really focusing on the different areas of my house, it was clear to me that the main living spaces were where I needed to focus. I started working room by room to renovate the space, and it was absolutely amazing to see what we were able to accomplish. This blog is all about creating a gorgeous home--even if you are on a tight budget.
