What should one know when selecting a contractor for eavestrough installation?
Many professional eavestroughing
contractors out there install eavestrough on daily basis and most of them do a
good job.
It's what they do for a living. The purpose of this paragraph is not
to make you think that we are the only ones who excel in this
trade, but to list
few things you should expect as a standard when selecting aluminum
eavestroughing contractor.
1. Seamless eavestrough - Some
companies will stress how they do seamless eavestrough and how this is some
special
eavestrough with no seams. What word seamless refers to is that one piece of eavestrough is made continuously and not out
of 10 ft. pieces put
together. Any contractor with eavestrough forming machine is able to produce
seamless eavestrough.
This is definitely a standard today.
2. Mitered eavestrough corners -
Eavestrough should only have one seam on every corner. Some contractors who are
not very skilled in eavestrough installation will sometimes want to use
pre-made corners. This way each corner on your home
actually ends up having 3 seams. These
corners are more likely to leak and they are also not as sturdy as mitered (one
seam)
corners. Sometimes, over time pre-made corners will even lose its alignment
with the rest of the eavestrough and then it all
appears unsightly. Mitered (one seam) corners are
definitely a standard.
3. Large square downspouts - If you
have decided it's time to replace your eavestrough you should obviously expect
some
improvements to come with this new installation. One of those improvements
should be larger downspouts. If your home is
currently equipped with 2x3 inch
rectangle downspouts, 2.5x2.5 inch (small square) downspouts or round galvanized
steel
downspouts these should definitely be replaced by 3x3 inch (large square)
aluminum downspouts. 3x3 inch downspouts enable
more water flow and they also look good
on any size home. You should definitely ensure that 3x3 downspouts are
installed
on your home.
4. Hanger brackets - Eavestrough is
attached to the fascia board by either a spike/nail and ferrule or hidden hanger
brackets. Hanger brackets are a better option because they are screwed in. There
is a difference in quality between different
types of hanger brackets. Hanger
brackets that clip on both sides (front and back of eavestrough) are the best
quality type.

5. Leaf guard - It is sometimes a
good idea to install leaf guard on your home. If there were trees around my home
I would
definitely install it. It's important to select a quality aluminum leaf
guard. Plastic ones cave in over time. Foam insert leaf guards are
little
better, but are likely to retain leaves on top of eavestrough. Aluminum leaf
guard is currently the best option on the market.

6. Eavestrough slope - Water has to
run down those downspouts. If water is sitting somewhere in your eavestrough it
will
eventually freeze and cause damage to the eavestrough and eavestrough
corners. Having a larger amount of downspouts is
better because that way water
doesn't sit anywhere. With a proper amount of downspouts better slope can be
created.
When eavestrough slope is being configured a good contractor needs to
find balance between functionality and appearance.
