Having new gutters installed is a great way to protect the home’s roofline and ensure rainwater is redirected away from the foundation. Although the gutter installation crew will take care of most of the work, there are a few things homeowners want to do before gutter install in Dallas TX.
Clean Up Around the Home’s Exterior
The installation team needs to have plenty of room to work when putting up new gutters. If items are laying up against the house, remove them. Trim overgrown landscaping that might get in the way of ladders and cover delicate landscaping that could be harmed from materials being thrown on top of them.
Remove the Existing Gutters
Handy homeowners who feel comfortable climbing a ladder and have confidence in removing old gutters can do this before the installation team arrives. While it’s not required of homeowners to do this, it’s a good way to save money. A little sweat equity goes a long way for budget-conscious homeowners.
Schedule a Roof Inspection
Before installing gutters, it’s always a good idea to have the roof checked for any damage. If the existing gutters are sagging or heavy, they might have damaged the roofline. A roofer can diagnose and fix any problems.
Be Available
Yes, the installation takes place outside, but problems might pop up that need addressing. An adult member of the household with decision-making power should be home during the install.
