Receieved a quote on having gutters installed
Posted on 5/23/18 at 1:52 pm

I called a local roofing/gutter company and asked them for a quote on the installation of 5' aluminum gutters. I would require 66 linear ft. of gutters installed on my two story house with two down spouts. The quote I received was $820.
I am doing this because the water running off my roof is causing my grass to die in my backyard and I take pride in my lawn. What are your thoughts on this quote and is there an alternative to gutters to not cause my grass to erode away?

i got a quote last year for around 1k for 100' with 3 downspouts.... but 1 story. I was pleasantly surprised at my quote......still haven't done it.

That is like $12.42/foot not too bad when considering that he has to go two stories and will be there most of the day. with material and the cost his expenses (gas, the gutter machine and helper). All depends on actual height of the gutter, working area and any impedance will determine the cost.
If it was me I would say that is pretty fair

That doesn't seem too bad for what your getting. I had 110 Ft done last year with 3 down spouts for $1100.

too damn high, as much as twice too damn high...
gutters are great under one condition, they are cleaned out at least quarterly, more during spring leaf out and fall/winter leaf drop...

sounds good. buddy just had some on his house cost $1200

That seems a bit high per foot but then again for second story installation maybe it isn't. I assume the time the install will take is the main factor driving the cost up.

make sure they gots work comp. there's ways to verify their coverage. i'd not want someone falling from 2 stories on my property all cause i saved $100.

I could be wrong, but gutters don’t seem that hard to install.

Just had some done in Lafayette. $6.50/ft. Not including downspouts and only on the 1st story.

Price sounds good, I have a buddy who does gutters and aluminum gutter coil just increased over $1.00 per pound. Prices are going to continue to rise so you may want to jump on it.

If you are going with seamless aluminum gutters the installers will need no less than 3 people to put them up and probably better with 4 to keep the gutters from flexing and kinking. The machine to bend the seamless gutters is in the truck and they make the gutters up on the job.
Then it's just a matter of hanging them with the proper fall to the downspouts so the water runs to them and installing the downspouts to the gutters.
Get leaf guards if you don't plan on cleaning them. I have a 2 story house and have to clean out my gutters at least 3 to 4 times a year between leaves and such with all the oak trees in my neighborhood.
If you're afraid of heights, then you have no business climbing a ladder to the roofline of a 2 story house.
