Things to Expect from a Gutter Replacement Quote

Replacing your old gutter system with a new one is an important part of keeping your home well-maintained. Newly installed gutters and downspouts help save you from many troubles and costly repairs caused by water damage. To ensure its success, it pays to find the right company that can perform flawless gutter installations. You also have to do a bit of research when it comes to gutter products. More importantly, you need to obtain a quote.

Local roofing contractor American Roofing & Construction, LLC explains the things you can expect from a gutter replacement quote.

What Should Your Gutter Quote Entail?

A quote from a professional gutter installation contractor should contain more than just the estimate for the total project cost. You’ll want to find the following information:

• Gutter type – Is it a K-style gutter or a half-round gutter? Does it come in sections or will it be a seamless one that is shaped on-site?

• Material costs – It should detail the cost of each material and component as well as the amount required for the project.

• Labor costs – It should include a breakdown of the total cost that you’ll have to pay for the actual replacement or installation of your new gutters. In the case of replacement, make sure the quote lists down how much the contractor will be charging for the removal of the old gutter system.

• Project duration – A gutter quote is similar to a roof estimate in that it highlights how long the project will take to complete. Be careful, though; if they are charging the hourly rate and say the installation can be completed within the day, they can take longer to finish, charging you more as a result.

Other Things to Keep in Mind

Be sure the gutter quote is as detailed as possible. Moreover, you need to learn more about the contractor you’ll be working with. Make sure they are insured and licensed. They should also provide a warranty on the materials and labor. After all, you don’t want an installation team that offers a low estimate but doesn’t perform as expected.
