The honest answer
Every project is priced after a free on-site walkthrough and delivered as an itemized written quote. Smaller single-story homes with straightforward rooflines sit at the lower end of the spectrum; larger two-stories with complex rooflines sit higher, and complete systems with guards run meaningfully above gutters-only.
What pushes the price up
Linear footage is the base: more roofline means more material and labor. Stories multiply it — second-story work is slower and staged more carefully. Guards add per-foot cost that pays back on wooded lots. Complex rooflines (multiple valleys, dormers, varied fascia heights) add forming and fitting time. Premium materials and oversized 6-inch gutters or 3x4 downspouts add capacity and cost.
One honest caveat unique to older homes: fascia repair. If the wood behind your old gutters has rotted, it must be fixed before anything new is hung — and a good installer identifies it during the walkthrough, on the quote, not mid-job as a surprise.
What pulls the price down
Single-story homes, simpler rooflines, fewer linear feet, and gutters-only scope. Bundling matters too: guards and downspouts added to an installation cost less than the same work as separate later projects, because the mobilization and design overhead is shared.
Why we won't quote by phone — and why that protects you
Every factor above is invisible from a phone call and most are invisible from satellite photos. A phone quote is a guess that gets corrected on install day, and the correction never goes down. Our estimates are in-person, free, and itemized line by line — the number you see is the number you pay, with any mid-job discovery discussed with you before it touches the bill.
The Takeaway
Every project is priced after a free on-site walkthrough and delivered as an itemized written quote — treat any exact number quoted without a walkthrough as fiction with a sales pitch attached.
