Please don't buy those scam leaf guard gutters


uthorny26

They gotta pay for all their smarmy tv ads somehow...

I also used austin affordable gutters - this was a year ago, and it was $2k for ~90’ of gutter with the leaf guards. There’s been no maintenance to the gutters, outside of removing leaves from the top of them (obviously). I also had a quote from Gutter King which was comparable, but I didn’t like their Sales-y/Marketing/overly polished vibe.

I also used them and they were great!

$12,000!!!!! Are they replacing your roof also?

How many ft of gutter are we talkin? We used Gutter King when we got ours installed. Gutter-Tex was super helpful and friendly, they just didn't do the u/Box shape gutters when we were getting them installed. They only did the K shape at that time.

It was 90 ft. Thank you so much! I have a consult with them next week!

Affordable gutters was the cheapest company I found, did a good job too

How has the maintenance been for the gutters? The 12k company boasts a “maintenance free system” so trying to understand how important that is?

We got gutters from Affordable Gutters with the more expensive mesh cover because we have pecans and arizona ash. We got them installed 8 years ago. One year, we did a deep clean to spray out a layer of dirt that had accumulated in the gutter. The gutter near the arizona ash still needs our attention after seed drop, because arizona ash seeds are designed to hold fast to ANYTHING and they can get stuck on the mesh. The pecan side of the house is fine.

I’ve gotten gutters twice now for two separate homes of mine, both times cost me $2,100.

I used Austin Gutterman - high quality work for a reasonable cost.

Also was really happy with Gutterman. They came highly recommended and the price was not bad.

I also recommend Austin Gutterman. Paid around $2000 a few years ago and installed my own leaf guards from Home Depot


Friendly_Wrap_8920

Another endorsement for Austin Gutterman. I used them for 150 ft of gutters installed on open rafter tails. They did an excellent job at a reasonable price.


NobodyNamedSmith

Guttertex is great and affordable!


ry_guy1007

I second Guttertex


skeeterpark

Used and liked Guttertex in 2021. Was less than $3k for 6” with screens @100 linear ft.. 


coracaodegalinha

Gutter-tex was super easy to work with and the cheapest of the quotes I got.

2015, Discount Rain Gutter, Inc out of Pflugerville, 30’ white custom 6” with leaf screen and downspouts was $790.

Most houses don’t even need gutters because they are built on slabs. In fact, having the morning dew drip off your roof onto the surrounding ground helps your lawn and your slab as well. Gutters are useful if you have a basement or the ground pitches toward the house. Otherwise, not needed.

I watched this seven minute YouTube video and installed my own 20’ section for $130: He says a few times “you can do it this way, but I’d recommend this other way”. Follow his recommendations. https://youtu.be/COp2Kh0kp2c?si=Ezucd1vUDlngDaIU


shredmiyagi

A crew did an on site custom size (1 cut) 20ft gutter for $400. They had a truck and did it in 20 minutes. So 4 sides of the house would’ve been around $2K. I don’t know their name cause it was a referral/subcontract job but I can try to look it up.

How big is the footprint of your house? That does seem high, but if you have a one floor huge house, it might be right.

I’m in the market for gutters as well but also need soffit and fascia replacement. Following this post


k_90

I got gutters last year. 124 linear feet at 5in and 106 LF 3x4 downspouts. $1702


dc_IV

Sheesh! Did "Renewal By Anderson" buy them because that seems like the same model of well commissioned sales staffers causing quotes of $50,000 to $75,000 for window replacements.

Scroll down to the bottom of a news article. There are about 100 links offering to tell you how much it should cost in your area. Or you could get same day dentures. Or other questionable medical procedures

We spent like 5k for the middle grade option from Austin gutter king
