I'm looking for some advice about a quote I received for gutter installation on my new home in Wisconsin. The estimate is around $3500 for 128 linear feet of gutters, which includes removing the old gutters and installing 3-5 downspouts. Given the factors like tariffs and the specifics of my situation, do you think this price is reasonable?

In Wisconsin, you might find some local guys with gutter machines who charge way less than the big-name companies you see online. If you're near the Fox Valley area, check out local options as they often work on word of mouth and can give you a better deal.
It's always a good idea to get at least three quotes when it comes to home improvement. There are so many factors that can affect the price—like the size and materials of the gutters, the number of corners, and the height of your house. Each situation can vary quite a bit, so comparing quotes will give you a better idea of what to expect.
I recently paid $2200 for 150 feet of standard aluminum gutters, which included 7 downspouts. My install was straightforward, but if your house has a lot of corners or is multi-story, that could bump your pricing up. Definitely look around for more quotes to see what others are charging.
