I know Darkside has a thread but I couldn't find it. Plus, he's busy cyberattacking the economy of the entire America. What is a reasonable per foot cost to replace a 6" gutter without a leaf guard? We currently have 5" and I've always wanted to upgrade it to 6" and I may not have another chance. I'm in the process of doing a series of home improvements so if anybody has a "floor guy", I need one of those too. |

From an install standpoint, it would seem to be a fairly straightforward job. Straight runs, no turns around corners or anything weird. Or is this a 5/6/7 joke? |

I am in the process of replacing my roof, and the sticker shock of the roof itself was bad enough, but one quote I got for the gutters was $6k plus another $2k for the gutter guards. And it's not like I have 500 feet of gutters. I think I heard $10 per linear foot was on the high end, but this was ridiculous. |

I was just pretending I had multiple quotes. I just got the one. I'll probably just give all praise and honor to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ without whom rain would not be possible and pull the trigger. I still need a floor guy, though. Floors are probably more in the Hades realm considering the proximity. |

Pro tip. The oversized downspouts are more important than the gutter size. |

I have a tool I've created to clear that opening currently, some might say the entire opening, so I don't have to haul my old ass up onto a roof or ladder. I can clear it by standing precariously on a spring-loaded chair for my safety. |

But if it's not South Africa and he's still working, I'm interested. I have a combination of tile removal, hardwood floor refinishing, and leveling that needs professional care. |

They gave me a quote and when they pulled up the old floor and found some boards needed to be added They didn't upcharge me. Would use them again anytime. |

I would also recommend running the downspouts into the ground and run them away frim the house a ways with popups to disperse the water. |

This is a very easy job and, in my mind, I almost feel like the contractor should be paying me to complete it. It's that simple. Too much effort for me, though. |

$6k to replace all the gutters on your house seems about right. it's a lot more fuckin around that it appears to be. |

The quote was $3000 for full 6” gutter replacement, the entire full gutter (no leaf guards) reflashing the chimney for about 200 feet of gutter. |

yea 200ft not a lot. youre paying for labor. but if they do it right, thats reasonable |
