Our Gutter Installation Process: What to Expect

When it comes to protecting your home from water damage, properly installed gutters are one of your first lines of defense. If you're considering new gutters, you might be wondering what the installation process looks like. At Gutter Shutter of the Triangle, we believe in transparency and quality workmanship, so here’s a behind-the-scenes look at how we handle gutter installations from start to finish.

 

Step 1: Free On-Site Inspection & Estimate

It all starts with a visit to your home. We assess your current gutter system (or lack of one), check for any underlying issues like improper sloping, improper downspout placement or lack of enough downspouts, and rotting fascia boards. During this visit, we'll:

• Discuss your needs and style preferences (color, material, etc.)
• Make recommendations based on your roofline and drainage needs
• Provide a free, no-obligation estimate
• No pressure. No hidden fees.

Step 2: Reviewing & Accepting Contract

Once we’ve completed your inspection and provided an estimate onsite, we’ll send you a more detailed written proposal outlining:

• The scope of work (including removal of old gutters, installation, and any extras)
• Materials being used ( thickness of aluminum, gutter guards, etc.)
• Total cost (with no surprise fees)
• Warranty information

We encourage you to take your time reviewing the details. If you have any questions, we’re happy to walk through the estimate with you, transparency is part of our promise.

 

Step 3: Preparation & Removal

Before installation begins, we:

• Remove and properly dispose of your old gutters (if applicable)
• Check fascia boards and soffit for damage
• Make repairs or replace if needed (we’ll let you know in advance)

This step is crucial for long-lasting installation, gutters are only as strong as what they're attached to.

 

Step 4: Installation Time

This is where the magic happens! Our crew arrives on time, fully equipped, and ready to work. Here's what we do:

• Secure gutter hangers spaced correctly for maximum support
• Carefully mount gutters at the proper slope for efficient water flow
• Attach downspouts and ensure proper drainage away from your home’s foundation
• Seal all joints and double-check our work

We treat your home with respect, no mess left behind, guaranteed.

 

Step 5: Final Walkthrough & Tips

Once everything is installed, we walk you through the entire system, pointing out:

• Downspout placements
• Any new features (like splash blocks or gutter guards)
• Basic maintenance tips to keep your gutters working flawlessly

We’ll also answer any questions you might have and make sure you're 100% satisfied before we pack up.

Whether you're replacing an outdated system or outfitting a brand-new home, our gutter installation process is straightforward, stress-free, and built around your needs.
