What to Look for in a Gutter Replacement Quote

Gutter replacement is generally an easy project for homeowners to oversee. But to ensure that you won’t be ripped off by unscrupulous contractors, it’s always best to ask for a written estimate. This way, you can properly account for the expenses and have a clear understanding of what you’re paying for.

WaynCo Roofing, LLC, a reputable gutter replacement and roof insurance claim expert, discusses some of the details that you should check in a gutter replacement quote.

Type of gutters

The contractor should clearly specify the type of gutters to be installed.

Cost of materials

Gutters vary in cost depending on the materials, so your quote should indicate the materials that will be used for your gutter system . The estimate should also contain the quantity of the materials needed for the job.

Labor fees

Much like in roof replacement, there should be a breakdown of the services that will be provided during your gutter replacement project. In the case of gutter replacement, it should be indicated how much it would cost for the contractor to remove the old gutter materials and to install the new gutters. If you need them to clean up after the completion of the job, make sure the price of this additional service is also included in the quote.

Project timeline

In most cases, gutter replacement can be finished in one day. Make sure your contractor is able to give you a definite and reasonable timeline for your project. This way, they can’t simply change the timeframe and extend the work in an attempt to jack up the cost of the project.

If your quote does not include information about any of these things, consider it a red flag. Make sure the details in your written estimate are correct and complete.
