Gutter Screws: Why Your Contractor’s Choice Matters

With an efficient gutter system, your roof, siding, windows and the rest of your home’s exterior are not as susceptible to water damage. When it’s time to replace your gutters, make sure to hire a skilled contractor to do the job. You can count on an experienced professional to choose materials and components that would extend your gutter system’s lifespan, such as screws. 

A local gutter and roof replacement expert explains the importance of choosing the correct screws for your gutters. 

Why Your Contractor Should Choose the Right Gutter Screws

Screws may be tiny, but they play a vital role in the longevity of your gutter system. Some contractors would attempt to cut costs by going for cheaper screws to install your gutters. However, when your installer chooses the wrong screw material, your gutters will eventually start to rust. 

Galvanic corrosion refers to an electrochemical process where one metal corrodes another when they come in electrical contact. It happens when two incompatible metals touch each other. This problem can be avoided by choosing metals with similar electrode potentials. The easiest way to do this is to use the same metal for all construction. 

Save Your Gutters From Rusting By Choosing a Reliable Contractor

Whether filing a roof insurance claim or getting new gutters, working with a reliable contractor is essential. You can start your search for a contractor by asking for referrals from your neighbors, family and friends. Do your research, read customer feedback, check portfolios and ask for references. 

Obtain at least three estimates from different companies to get an idea about the cost of your project and help you determine which one is right for the job. Make sure that the contractor you are hiring is licensed, insured and bonded. Also, look into the quality of products they are offering and the warranties that come with them.
