The installation date is one of the most important considerations of any home improvement, including gutter replacement. In today’s post, local gutter guard cleaning and installation company Gutter Helmet® of Cookeville shares the best time to have your new gutters installed.
Think Twice About Winter Installations
You won’t want to dive into gutter replacement unless you can work something out that allows installation on relatively short notice. Extreme cold can make gutter installation almost impossible, especially if the gutters are made of standard galvanized steel. In addition to making the material less pliable—which makes it hard to create joints—cold weather also makes it more difficult to order components.
If you must have your gutters replaced during winter, a gutter company that offers seamless gutters is your best option. The installation process doesn’t require ordering pre-cut lengths of gutter; the gutter troughs are shaped on-site. Seamless gutters also require fewer joints, which can help shorten installation time. Since winter isn’t peak season for contractors, it shouldn’t be difficult to book a gutter contractor.
Spring and Summer Are Peak Seasons
Spring and summer have the ideal conditions for home improvements, which is why it’s the peak season for contractors during this time. Inspect your gutters every few months and clean them at least once a year. This keeps you up to date with your gutter’s condition which can be helpful when deciding whether or not you should have your gutters replaced.
Try to book the installation date as early as possible. Doing this late in the season means you have to compete with everyone else, which means you’re less likely to pick the gutter contractor and the installation date that you want.
Think About Gutter Protection Systems
Gutter replacement is an opportunity to install a gutter protection system. A gutter protection system like Gutter Helmet® prevents leaves, debris, and other solids from entering the gutter troughs. This helps keep the gutters clean and efficient while helping reduce their maintenance requirements. And the best part? You will never have to clean your gutters again.
