seamless gutters

Lunicy | Posted in General Discussion on October 4, 2004 12:13pm

What is the going rate for seamless gutters? The regular residental type?

 

Can’t I go 1 day without spilling my coffee?

        You can't go by info from another area. My raw material cost is more than $1.90/lin ft for 5". I can't imagine getting alum gutter installed for less than $5/lin ft. I get $18/lin ft for copper.

        I invented raw material.

          >>I get $18/lin ft for copper.

          Does the profile make any difference? How do you count downspouts?

            That's for 5" ogee. Half round is a little more - there's several types of hangers which makes it vary a little. Downspouts run about half the gutter price. I add 2 feet for each miter and 2 feet for each elbow.

            I invented profiling.

            Soldered, right?

            Thanks greencu.

    here In va bch I get them done for $1.90 a linear ft. Add both gutter and downspout to get your total footage. Been a couple months since Ive had any done, I think aluminums up some.
