While most homeowners don’t have their new gutters installed during the winter, this season is a great time to get an idea of what you want. Doing research ahead of time leads to significant savings as well as other benefits. Learn what else you stand to gain in the guide below. 

Why You Should Start Your Gutter Research in the Winter

1. Off-Season Discounts

Winter is the slow season for home improvement contractors because homeowners delay their projects until the warm weather arrives. However, these contractors still need to work. Since demand is lower and they have more time on their hands, they may be willing to offer off-season discounts, saving you money by having the work done earlier.

2. Beat the Rush

guttersContractors are flooded with calls once the snow melts and temperatures warm up, since homeowners have been waiting all winter long to get their projects started. This rush of work means that you may have to wait weeks, or even months, for them to schedule you in. Knowing what you want now and calling a contractor to schedule the work in the winter means you can be first in line. 

3. Locate Weaknesses

The rainy and snowy season presents the perfect opportunity to see how your current gutters are performing. If snow and debris quickly accumulate in them, it could call for larger gutters. Pay attention during the next storm and observe the water flow; if it backs up or pools in any spots, these issues will need to be addressed when you replace the gutters.
