The Most Expensive Gutter Repair Projects

No one likes to repair their gutters. Especially if those gutters aren’t on single-family homes.

That’s because commercial structures tend to be larger than residential ones, so the cost of gutter replacement will usually be higher. Here are some examples of the most expensive gutter repair projects in 2013 alone:

1. McDill’s Irish Pub in Collinsville, Illinois is equal parts pool hall, Irish pub, sports bar, and dive bar. But its gutters, roof, and siding were damaged in a recent hailstorm. As a result, bar owner Pat McDill reportedly spent a total of $11,995 to make the necessary repairs. That’s a major chunk of change for the average small business owner. He is trying to receive some reimbursement from a tax increment financing district fund.

2. Inclement weather isn’t the only thing that building owners have to worry about. Often, gutters replacements are necessitated because of the efforts of (unscrupulous) human intervention. A prime example is the Hellenic Orthodox Church of the Annunciation in Buffalo, New York. Thieves were attracted to the church’s copper downspouts for their value as scrap metal, which could be redeemed for cash. The downspouts, which were stolen early this year, will cost about $8,500 to replace.

3. Elsewhere in upstate New York, criminals targeted the Central Park United Methodist Church in North Buffalo for a similar reason. Two men tore down some copper gutters from that church in early March and tried to take them to a scrap yard. Luckily, a police officer pulled their vehicle over and saw the mangled gutters in the back seat. He made the arrest, but the church will still have to foot the bill for new gutters.

4. The Chilmark School in Martha’s Vineyard was built in 1999 at a cost of about $3.6 million. But the elementary school has been plagued with various problems since its doors opened. And a report issued in February revealed numerous construction deficiencies in the building, including a finding that its gutters are too small to direct substantial rainfall to grade. Those gutters will reportedly have to be replaced at a staggering cost of $40,975.

5. And the (relatively) new high school in Sealy, Texas will also have to undergo a gutter replacement. Sealy High School was completed in 2005, but has since started experiencing gutter problems. Now that the warranty has run out on the labor, the school district and the general contractor are battling over who will foot the bill for the estimated $58,725 it will cost to replace the gutters, which are already reportedly coming detached from the roof. The school district voted last week to cover about a third of the cost.

Because most municipalities, churches, and small businesses are dealing with shrinking budgets due to the economy, they probably don’t have the financial luxury of planning ahead or allocating funds for preventive maintenance. That’s why most non-residential buildings don’t have gutter guards on them.

But homeowners tend to have more fiscal flexibility. And since the person who owns the home tends to be the one who cleans out the gutters (or pays someone else to do it), investing in a quality gutter protection system can be a wise choice. Not only do gutter guards save time and money in the long run, but they also reduce the odds of gutters falling into disrepair — which can result in a hefty gutter replacement bill for the homeowner.

So why not consider a gutter protection system for your home? Contact Harry Helmet today!

I have had Gutter Helmets for 20 years. In all that time I've never had a problem until recently a bird's nest found its way into one of my gutters. The installer who came to replace the product was the same installer from 20 years earlier. Now that's impressive. Everyone at Gutter Helmet inclusive of the office staff were professional and a pleasure to work with.

Gutter Helmet by Harry Helmet just replaced our roof and we could not be more satisfied. The crew showed up early, worked all day and stayed late, were professional and caring regarding the project and the surrounding impact it had on our property and home. They completed the roof quickly and it looks simply amazing!

VERY happy with our entire experience adding Gutter Helmet by Harry Helmet to our house. Installing this was a great value for us. The gutters are working perfectly in heavy downpours and with year-long leaves and debris coming down from our river birches. Terrific customer service and a first class product.

We needed our roof repaired due to wind damage. After several quotes, Gutter Helmet was the only company that went into our attic to look and see if more damage had occurred. If it wasn't for them taking the extra time to look at everything, we would have had rotting wood under our new roof. They were very professional and gave a fair quote.
