Estimates

How the price gets written

We post example prices by the foot, because a gutter is measured that way. A roof isn't a product, so it gets a visit first.

  • What decides the price

    Twelve things move the number. Each one shows up as a line on the written estimate.

    • Feet of gutter, run by run

    • Material, gauge and size

    • Corners, downspouts and height

    • The board behind the gutter

  • What the estimate includes, and what it doesn't

    A line that isn't written down isn't in the price.

    • Includes: gutters, downspouts, corners and hangers

    • Includes: old gutters hauled away and cleanup

    • Not included: rotted board found later, priced per foot on the estimate

    • Not included: leaf guards, unless they're listed

    • Not included: repairs inside the house from old leaks

  • What happens at the visit

    Blia or Luc walks the house, measures the eaves and looks at the boards behind the gutter. On a roof job we go up and look in the attic too. We don't charge for the visit, and the written estimate holds for 30 days.

  • Nights and Sundays

    Our hours are on this site. A gutter can wait for morning. A visit outside working hours costs more, and we tell you the amount before we come.

  • When you get the number

    In writing, after the visit, with every line priced. If bad boards turn up once the old gutters come down, the per-foot price on the estimate is what you pay.

A sample estimate

One farmhouse and a machine shed, line by line

A one-story house and an outbuilding, seamless aluminum. On your estimate each line carries its own amount.

  • Seamless aluminum, 190 feet

    Five-inch gutter on the house and the shed, six downspouts, old gutters hauled away.

    • Gutter, 190 feet
    • Downspouts, 60 feet
    • Corners, 6
    • Fascia board replaced, 12 feet
    • Hangers, end caps and sealant
    • Old gutters taken down and hauled away

Example only. More soft board found when the old gutters come down is billed per foot at the price written on your estimate.
