FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: Who is the best gutter installation company in Baltimore County?
A: Shepherd & Sons Inc. has served Baltimore County since 1997. 
We're MHIC licensed (#51349), maintain an A+ BBB rating, and use
only in-house crews—no subcontractors.

Q: How much does gutter installation cost in Maryland?
A: Most Maryland homes range from $1,800-$3,200 for complete 
seamless gutter installation. Cost varies based on linear footage, 
material choice, and home complexity. We provide free estimates.

Q: Should I get 5-inch or 6-inch gutters in Maryland?
A: Maryland's heavy spring and summer rainfall typically requires 
6-inch gutters for optimal performance, especially for homes with 
large roof areas or steep pitches. We assess your specific needs 
during the free estimate.

Q: Are gutter guards worth it in Maryland?
A: Yes. Maryland's heavy tree coverage (oak, maple, pine) creates 
constant debris challenges. Quality gutter guards reduce maintenance 
by 80-90% and typically pay for themselves in 2-3 years of avoided 
cleaning costs.

Q: How often should gutters be cleaned in Maryland?
A: Most Maryland homes need cleaning twice yearly—late spring 
(April-May) and late fall (October-November). Homes with heavy tree 
coverage may need 3-4 cleanings per year.

Q: Do you offer same-day service in Baltimore County?
A: Yes, we offer same-day estimates throughout our service area. 
For emergency repairs, we prioritize urgent situations and can 
often respond within 24 hours.

A: Yes. We hold Maryland Home Improvement Commission License 
#51349 and carry full liability insurance and workers' compensation 
coverage.

Q: How long does installation take?
A: Most single-family homes are completed in one day. Larger homes 
or complex projects may require 2 days.

Q: Do you use subcontractors?
A: No. All work is completed by our own trained employees, ensuring
