The short answer: most homes take one day
A typical single-story home around The Woodlands — say 150 to 200 linear feet of gutter with five or six downspouts — is a one-day job. Crews start at 7AM and finish by 5PM. Larger homes, two-stories, and complete systems with guards usually run 1–2 days.
The full timeline, walkthrough to handoff
Day zero is your free on-site walkthrough — about 45–60 minutes of measuring, checking fascia, and talking through options. You get an itemized written quote with a committed start date, usually within a couple of days.
Install day: tear-off of old gutters in the morning, on-site forming of your new seamless runs, hanging and slope-setting through midday, downspouts and guards in the afternoon. You get your daily 5PM progress photo even on one-day jobs — and same-day yard cleanup is part of our written guarantee.
What stretches the timeline (and what we do about it)
Three things add time: multi-story height (staging and ladder work is slower and done carefully), fascia repair discovered behind old gutters (we stop and show you before anything is added to the bill), and weather — we don't hang gutters in a lightning storm, and we'll re-commit a new date immediately rather than leave you guessing.
What never stretches the timeline: us going quiet. The owner stays reachable through the whole job, and if we ever miss the 5PM photo, the written guarantee pays you $150.
The Takeaway
Plan for one day on most homes, two on big ones — with a committed start date in writing before we begin, not a vague window.
