107 feet of gutters with 3 down spouts, not too big of a job..being quoted $1192.

If this seems ridiculous, do you have any suggestions for companies in the BR area?

Ask Dukke V... He knows his shite.

But seriously, that sounds high.

Call Ascension Gutters last. Get several quotes and they will beat quoted price.

They do excellent work and stand behind their installs.

I had mine done two years ago. That seems too high.

You also need to understand the smaller jobs typical cost more. It has to be financially feasible for the contractor to take the job.

No joke. I haven't had mine done yet, but I did get quotes a few months ago. Some companies were double what Ascension was.

Thats high. I had about 250 feet and 8 downspouts for $2k last week. I'm in Cenla, if that matters.

Way too high. Hang it yourself, otherwise you are throwing money down the drain...

I'm pretty sure the angle of your fascia matters and the height of your roof. That may be why its high too so keep that in consideration.

Save all of your money and forget the gutters altogether. Instead of cleaning them for the millionth time I tore mine down years ago and couldn't be happier about it.

Sounds pretty good.

I had about 250 ft with five down spouts, helmet on one side due to tree and also had them change my facial for $4,600

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.

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.

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