What should I do today if my inspector requires gutter guards?
Get the inspector's requirement in writing so the pro knows exactly what must be installed. Call (629) 265-0239 to request a quote for a same-week visit. Ask the pro to look at the problem first and give an estimate before any work starts.
Does a Franklin gutter job need a permit or special approval?
The City of Franklin generally does not require a building permit for a simple, like-for-like gutter replacement. A permit may be required if the work involves structural changes or a larger renovation. If the home is in the Historic Preservation Overlay, a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Historic Zoning Commission is required before changing gutter styles or materials.
How do I verify the pro is licensed and insured?
Tennessee requires a contractor license from the Board for Licensing Contractors for projects totaling $25,000 or more. For smaller jobs, a contractor may need only a local business license, so ask the pro for proof of licence and insurance. Confirm general liability and workers' compensation coverage before you agree to the work.
