Jay, we got a few quotes this summer all within $25 of the $350 mark for seamless gutter on an 80' stretch with one drop (change in roof line) and 2 downspouts to connect to our 3" drain to drywells - oh, and most of our facia is a little different than most (heavy extruded aluminum attached to aluminum trusses... so take off about $25 for the attachments for that
- we went with the vinyl, only because part (the newer stick built section) was already done in the vinyl & we couldn't get a match to either our UV'ed roof nor our newly painted facia....and this was only the back half of the house & aren't positive we could match the back color with the front when we are ready to replace THAT portion.... (only replaced this portion because the older install had used the purlins & one of the redwood purlins was totally trashed by termites.... & we had to replace that purlin... so why NOT do the gutters ourselves so that they are not hanging on the edge of a tasty purlin....kinda see WHY this place is taking sooo long...)
