Why Should You Have Your Seamless Gutters Professionally Installed?

1. SAFETY

The most important reason gutters should always be installed by a professional gutter company is due to safety risks. Installing gutters yourself requires you to climb a ladder to reach the area you will be working on. Installing new gutters may mean that you have to remove old gutters that may have sharp edges and can cause cuts or injury while carrying the materials up and down the ladder. Power tools are needed for both removal and installation, posing yet another risk of injury especially while distracted on top of a ladder. Professional gutter installation completely eliminates these and other hazardous risks because you are able to sit back and relax knowing someone else with experience and expertise properly does the job with the appropriate safety equipment and measures.

2. GUTTER QUALITY

One main reason you should have your gutters installed by a professional is the quality of gutters that you purchase from a gutter company is far superior to gutters you could purchase at a local hardware store or online. Gutters sold to the general public are not seamless gutters but are sectional gutters. The main issue with sectional gutters is that there are sections that need to be held together by clips and screws which often fail causing leaks rendering your gutters ineffective.

Alternatively, seamless gutters are one continuous piece of metal eliminating leaks from occurring. Specialized equipment is used by professionals to make seamless gutters on-site. 

3. EXPERTISE

While you can install sectional gutters on your home that you purchase at a local store, odds are you have never installed them before or have only done so a couple of times. Professional gutter companies have tons of experience after installing gutters day in and day out and have all the right tools. Professional gutter companies know precisely what to do, how to properly install gutters, what tools to use, and where to attach them. Mishaps or damages are eliminated by having a knowledgeable professional install your gutters.

4. EXTRA PROTECTION

We touched on the benefits of seamless gutters instead of sectional gutters, but there are more material advantages than just seamless gutters. Professional gutter companies offer gutter filters as well and can install them on top of gutters while installing your seamless gutters at the same time. Additionally, patio covers, awnings, and other services are offered as well by Austin's Affordable Gutters.

5. ELIMINATE WASTED MATERIALS AND TIME

Professional gutter companies use equipment to accurately cut the exact number of materials needed for the job. This ensures that you are not underestimating or overestimating the number of materials required to complete the job. Having your gutters professionally installed frees up your time to take care of other tasks that you may need to accomplish, and you can rest assured that the job is done to the highest standards.
