The longer answer

How to evaluate a gutter company in Overland Park:

  1. Local vs national. National franchises (LeafFilter, Gutter Helmet, LeafGuard) carry 40-60% markup for advertising, franchise fees, and in-home commissioned sales. Local family-owned shops (Premier Gutters KC) pass those savings to you.
  2. Licensed and insured. Verify both before signing. Ask for current certificates of GL and Workers' Comp.
  3. Written, line-itemed quotes. Avoid "package" pricing that hides the per-foot rate. Premier line-items every quote.
  4. HOA experience. OP subdivisions have strict ARCs. Pick a company that knows the local HOA process (we provide submission packets free).
  5. Real Google reviews. Look for recent (last 12 months), specific reviews. Avoid companies with 100+ reviews all 5-star and dated in the same month.
  6. Material spec. Premium installs use .032" gauge aluminum and hidden hangers. Builder-grade uses .025" and exposed spikes.
  7. Warranty. Premier offers 10-yr workmanship + 25-yr material warranty. Many cheap competitors offer 1-year.

For Overland Park homes specifically, we recommend asking these questions of any contractor: (1) what gauge aluminum do you install? (2) what hanger system? (3) do you provide HOA submission documentation? (4) what's your written warranty? (5) is the quote line-itemed?
