Cost of Galvanized Gutter Installation
The cost of installing galvanized steel rain gutters depends on a number of different factors. This article is intended to help you make an informed hiring decision. We have compiled a list of factors that will influence the cost of your project.
1. Geographic location. Where you live may significantly affect the cost of installation. Take a look at ProMatcher’s Gutter Installation Cost Report for information about the cost in your town.
2. Removal of existing gutters? If there are gutters in place that need to be taken down, this will add to the overall cost of the project.
3. Is the contractor properly licensed and insured? Before signing a contract, take some time to verify the credentials of the installer. Don’t hesitate to contact references and ask questions.
4. Size of the house. Larger homes need more gutters. The amount of material needed will be a large portion of the total project cost. Additionally, if you live in a two or three story home, it may be more expensive to install gutters. The installation may require special ladders or additional safety equipment.
5. Gutter profile. There are many different styles of gutters available: half-round, box gutters, K-style gutters, and many more.
6. Is everything included? Before signing a contract, make sure that all of the required pieces are included in the cost estimate you have. Nails, hangers, downspouts, elbow joints, leader heads, and other hardware should all be included.
7. Gutter covers and screens. The installation of a gutter protection system will come at an additional cost. Gutter guards or covers are designed to keep dead leaves and other matter out of the gutters. This can prevent clogging and minimize the need for frequent cleanings.
8. Find a Local Pro. If you are ready to get started on your project, get a free quote from a local pro now.
