Oh yes, I forgot to add. I have NO existing gutters. So there is no labor
to remove.

However, none of the places I called ask if I already had gutters, so I
don't think any of them charge extra for removal.

Gutters are a pretty big business in FL, given how much rain we get. In the
major city area I am in, I found a few dozen places doing gutters, so this
means prices will be cheaper in general.

You may want to have Home Depot do a free quote. That should be the MOST
you'd ever pay and you can use it as a price guage as well. You can figure
about 25%, and maybe up to 30% off the Home Depot price is what you should
pay. That's what I've been seeing based on the few HD quotes I've gotten
relative to local companies.

I'm in Central Florida. I called 6 places and was quoted on 6" gutters in
white with downspouts, which I believe where 4x3.

I was quoted on 230 ft (165 gutter, 65 down spout) on a single story home.
Cheapest price was $665, and the highest price was $1270 (from Home
Depot). Most places came in at $3.25 to 3.50/linear foot.

These prices were installed, with all pieces. The guy at $665 actually
did custom corners too. I think he's basically coming in and undercutting
everyone else to do more volume. Afterall, Less profit per job with
greater volume can still be greater profit. He also provided 10 year
warranty like most everyone else did. So he's not using garbage aluminum.

Hi folks,

Just wondering what people are paying for replacement gutters these
days. My roof was redone about 3 years ago, but recently I have had a
bad rust-thru failure on one of the sections due to some clogging. I
probably should have had them doen when the roof was done of course.
The gutters now are 7" steel. Lineal feet is ~210 with about 8 down
spots totalling maybe 70ft. Most of the pieces are straight runs, with
maybe 5 miters. I have a 2 storey house with shake roof.

I just got a quote for $2200 for the same style powder-coated steel
gutter replacement which seems excessive to me. The new downspouts
would be 2x3's. The contractor that came by to bid had a very
expensive looking truck. I can get the exact same gutter from
another seamless contractor dropped at my location for $2.50 per ft,
but of course the downspouts, hangers, caps, miter pieces etc are
extra. Still I figure that the materials total should not exceed $900.
I figure this job including labor should not be more than $1500? Can
anyone in the north-west give some comparables quotes? I'm getting
more bids, but I'm still curious.

thanks
