I just received a quote for replacing all the gutters around my house, and I want to know what you all think about it. Here's what they plan to do: remove the existing gutters and downspouts, replace 80 feet of rotted fascia with primed wood boards, secure everything with screws, and if more fascia needs replacing, it will cost $14 per foot. They'll supply and install new seamless 6-inch K-style gutters, secure them using heavy-duty gutter hangers, and use .032 gauge aluminum for durability. The quote also includes the installation of new downspouts and various components like miters and caps, along with sealing everything with commercial-grade gutter sealant. The total cost breaks down to $2,590 for gutters and downspouts and $1,120 for the fascia replacement. Additionally, there are options for gutter guards at $1,250 and $1,000. Is this a reasonable quote?

The price seems fair overall, but I noticed you didn't mention the total length of gutters being installed. If it's around 280 feet, considering the work involved and materials, it might not be so bad. Just make sure to compare it with other quotes to see if you're getting a good deal!
The height of your gutters matters too. If they’re on the second floor, that could definitely influence labor costs. Also, having a clean area helps! So what's around the house?
Yeah, they’re mostly on the second floor with just a lawn and some shrubs around. Do you think that makes the quote better or worse?
280 feet is pretty significant! With that length, the quote actually seems more reasonable to me. It's good to shop around for a few more estimates though.
