I had over 180 linear feet and 6 downspouts and only paid $1020 and that was 6 inch seamless on a one story house. My boss used the same guy and his linear feet was the same but had all the gutter guards put in and his was only 1400 and some change.

last ones I hung myself, this time I wanted seamless. Can't do seamless yourself.

Wow I have exactly the same length I just got quoted a week ago.

Premier south quoted 107 ft with 3 down spouts for $963.

Anybody cheaper to check out?

I want to replace my backyard gutters with the LeafGuard brand. I have them in front and they're awesome, but expensive.

How's that drip-line though?

We built a house and moved in in April. Sod is gangbusters, except where the drip-line is slowly eroding a grand canyon in my back yard. I had a quote of $1500 for 115 feet (12' elevation) of Kstyle, galvanized gutters (and covers) with 4 downspouts.

I thought about installing myself, but we have exposed rafters and I don't want to screw something up.

Should I make him take me to dinner before going in dry? Or does this sound reasonable?

that's only 6 weeks away.

I have copper half round that are 15 years old. Old hippie, drunk that had a Ford van with the back sawed off and an old handmade flatbed bolted on did mine. Great work but he smoked like a train and smelled like vegetable soup.

That seems a bit high. I'm assuming these are 5-inch and not 6-inch gutters.

If you pay Ober $4.00 a foot, yes.

3.50 is generous and welcoming.

Is it seamless gutter? 5" or 6"? With or without gutter screen?

Anything under 100' should run about $12 a foot with screen. 100' - 200' about $11. $50-60 a down spout. But this is for legitimate companies with seamless 6" machine, license and insurance. Workers comp accounts for 25% of the labor cost.
