LocalServ.Pro — Gutters Hiring Checklist
Prepared October 17, 2026
Planning aid; verify current project requirements. No request is sent.

Overflowing gutters can reflect a blockage, a damaged component, poor routing, or a system that does not suit the roof. Observe where water spills during rain from a safe location. Tell the contractor whether the problem occurs at one corner, along an entire run, or near the foundation.

DISCUSS WITH THE PROVIDER
Will the proposed outlets handle the roof areas they serve?
Which existing components will remain?
How will discharge avoid creating a walkway or neighboring-property problem?

COMPARE IN WRITING
[ ] Included tasks, materials and quantities
[ ] Exclusions, allowances and change approval
[ ] Relevant credentials, insurance and who performs the work
[ ] Permit responsibility, schedule, payment milestones and cleanup
