Just make sure whoever installs the gutters that they use enough gutter hangers. I like to see them no farther apart than 30". I have seen some installed that seem to skimp on the hangers, spacing them as wide as 5-6 feet apart.
When a person puts a ladder against them to go on the roof the gutter could actually get bent. That is poor workmanship. One should be able to carefully place a ladder against the gutters and not crush them.
Also, have them install gutter splash guards on top of the inside corners, so during a heavy rain the copious amounts of water does not rush down the valley and overshoot the gutter completely.
A few of the companies in The Villages skip a bit on the install.....make sure you get it in writing that they will do the install as stated above.
