How to hire a gutter contractor

  1. Ask about gutter size. Larger roofs and steep pitches may need 6-inch gutters.
  2. Confirm downspout placement. Downspouts should discharge well away from the foundation.
  3. Check hanger spacing. Hidden hangers every 2 feet resist ice and snow loads.
  4. Compare guard options. Ask how guards handle ice and pine needles.
  5. Verify registration. Gutter installers need contractor registration where required.

Red flags to watch for

  • Sectional gutters sold as seamless
  • Hangers spaced too far apart
  • Downspouts dumping next to the foundation
  • Guard sales with unrealistic "never clean again" claims

Licensing in Wisconsin

Gutter contractors generally need state contractor registration (such as Iowa contractor registration) rather than a specific trade license.

Wisconsin requires a Dwelling Contractor certification and a Dwelling Contractor Qualifier for builders who pull permits on one- and two-family homes. Electricians and plumbers are licensed by the Department of Safety and Professional Services.

Best time to hire

Install or repair gutters in spring through fall; clean after leaves drop and before winter ice forms.
