how much does it cost to have gutters installed?

Answer 1

Seamless alum. is about $7.00 a foot in New Orleans. Installed. Copper half round is about $32.00 a foot installed.

Answer 2

First of all, don't always assume that the lowest priced estimate is the best estimate. Secondly, seamless aluminum gutters are not easy to install if you don't know what you are doing. Prices obviously vary depending on where you are located, if you want aluminum, copper or PVC gutters etc. Get a few estimates and get references for the contractors to see if there previous customers were happy with their work. I would suggest you get estimates from siding companies or a company that specializes in gutters. The price in my area is around $3-$5 per linear foot for material and installation.

Answer 3

I had my roof replaced last summer and had them put up new gutters with gutter guards and downspouts while they were at it.
I have 2 - 40' straight continuous gutters and 2 downspouts.I got 5" gutters with 3" x 4" oversized downspouts. The gutter guards are guaranteed for life by the installer. If they ever clog, the installer will come out and clean them.
I live in Maryland, USA.
It cost $1358.00
I tore the old ones down myself because I replaced all the facia boards behind them.

Answer 4

The cost varies with how busy the roofing company is and the season of the year the size of the house and how difficult it is to get to the edge of the roof. This is probably about the best time of year to get gutters because it isn't too hot yet and they are usually not real busy at this time of year. I would get an estimate from at least 3 companies and go with the lowest priced one if I felt comfortable that they would do good job.

Answer 5

I used to install roof, everytime we replaced one on a house, we needed to change the gutters. if you are handy, they are pretty easy to install, two ladders, with scoffold can help you. (it depends on the height of the house) if you house is 1 story. Home depot or Loews can make them, remember to take measurements. they can be 12 ft long, & get adapters to join them together. Also rememer which side you want the water to go down & slightly level it to that side.

Answer 6

This is kind of a generic answer for any question that begins "How Much will it cost", when what is meant is how I ensure I pay a fair price and get a decent job done.

Labor costs vary widely depending on locations; materials are a bit more standard. call local supply stores to get Ideas on the cost of materials.
One way to get a true competitive price for the job, regardless of location, is to have contractors bid against one another for the chance to receive your money.
Call at least 5 contractors and schedule them all to come to your home at one time. Show them the entire project you have in mind, describe what you want done. Ask questions like "do you see anything that looks like it may cause a problem?" "Does this require a filing?" etc and let them talk it back and forth. Thank them for coming and ask that all the bids be in three or four days later (set a date that you will review the bids).

By seeing that there are other competent craftsmen interested in doing your job they will be forced to give a realistic price if they want to take your money. Also that visit just gave you an in depth understanding of the exact nature of the scope of work, as the contractors are less likely to put out a line of bull in front of their peers where they can be called out on it.

Review the bids, verify their contractors license, proof of insurance ( I usually ask for a rider specifically covering my job address and myself on the coverage for the specific job, only takes a call from the contractor to their carrier and no additional cost to them), review offered warranties, if any, and contact the references of the two lowest bidders.
Contact the winner and let them know they have the job and you have a deposit ready for them to proceed (25% is normal but 50% is not unusual), and the full payment available upon "Satisfactory" completion. That means everything contracted to be done is complete and working with no apparent problems. Pay the remainder promptly.

I also like to call the other contractors who bid, thank them for their time and if they ask let them know where they fell in the bid. This is useful information for them which they can track to make their bid process more competitive and profitable.
