Is the labor on them that high? Just wondering if the hassle is worth it.

i paid to have mine done so it was a continuous piece. i was more concerned with the joints for diy's. if you diy, i don't think finding the pitch is hard. you just calculate the distance and you can find an online guide for how much slope to factor in. imo, the pro gutters look much better. mine was about $450 for half the house in matching color

Seamless is the way to go. ~~~ It's one of those "pay me now, pay me later" deals.

I paid to have some leafguard brand gutters on the front of my house. They're pretty awesome, but expensive. I have regular gutters in the back. I should have just paid the extra $$$ to have the leafguards. What I'd really like to do is pay someone to kill my ignorant neighbors trees.

Why dont you get django to hang them. He has done literally hundreds, and from what I understand he is Mexican. He would probably do them for some Mad Dog 20/20.

Any you can buy will be thinner metal than a gutter guy will use. Buy the very best thickness you can afford.

Wait? This is the OT. I thought I was somewhere else. Let me restate that.

On site rolled and lead seamed Copper is all you should consider. Anything else is OT poor.

I was cleaning my gutters one day. As I went through this never ending chore I looked around at all the other houses on my street. I noticed none of them had gutters.

I promptly tore my down. Now I spend that time playing on the internet.
