Upgrading your gutters is an upgrade to the overall look and feel of your home.

Are you thinking of doing a gutter replacement project this year? While replacing your gutters may not seem to be a dramatic step in maintaining the look and physical integrity of your home, it’s actually a key part of your ongoing home maintenance. Damaged gutters aren’t just unsightly. They can actually lead to issues with your home’s foundation, roof, landscaping, and siding.

As you look at home projects this year, consider whether a gutter replacement should be on the list.

You’ll find that you have many different gutter options, but each material comes at a different cost. What do you need to know to understand the difference in gutter costs?

Factors That Affect Cost

While the materials used in your gutters determine a large part of the cost of those gutters, there are other reasons for the price range as well. What are these variables, and how will they change the cost of your gutter project?

• Gutter size influences the cost of your gutter project. Gutters come in standard sizes. If you need gutters that are larger than the 5-inch standard, then you will have a higher project cost.
• The size and shape of your home matter. The number of levels influences your project cost. Homes with multiple levels are more challenging to work on, and your team will need to take extra time and care with your gutters.      Also, if your home has many corners, your gutter team will need to cut more pieces to size.
• The cost of labor is something that you always need to factor into your cost considerations. Areas with a higher labor cost will have higher overall project costs.
• Waste removal can also add costs to your gutter project. This may or may not be included in your original estimate. The cost of water removal runs between $13 to $15 for each 25-foot segment that is removed.

If you decide to add other items such as a gutter cover, splash blocks, and downspouts to your home, then these also come with a cost. However, they are very beneficial to your project, and many may be essential.

Questions to Ask Your Contractor

As you get ready for your gutter replacement project, you’ll meet with contractors to get estimates. Here are the questions you should ask them:

• Is there a cost to the estimate?
• What’s included in the estimate?
• Does your business focus on gutters? How long have you been installing gutters?
• Are you licensed, bonded, and insured?
• Do you have references and local examples of your work?
• What does your warranty cover? How long does it last, and is it transferrable?

By asking questions like this, you’ll ensure that you know the necessities of the project, and you’ll also know more about the background and skills of the company that you choose.
