Update on the great gutter search. Bachelor #2 was this guy from Gutter Helmet. This is basically a system that they screw into the roof line over the existing gutters. Guy was in to see me last Saturday and still hasn't sent me a quote. Also, I asked my roofer and he said that screwing this stuff into the roof would void my new roof warranty, because it would puncture the ice and snow sheath that they have to install with a new roof (new City Building code for roofs). So that's out.
Bachelor #3 was a Guy from K-Guard. Nice kid, wanted to talk Royals Baseball with me for a half hour before we got down to business. His quote for removing all the old guttering and putting in all his stuff for around 100 feet of guttering was around $4500, or $45 per foot. Which is insane. From what I read on-line, new gutters with decent gutter guards should run between $10 and $20 per foot. So that's just crazy stupid money for that stuff. So I've got two more companies coming next week, Bachelor #4 and Bachelor #5. One is the local installer of the Gutterlock Elite stuff out of Omaha, NE (that was recommended in this thread, thanks) and another is a small business gutter company out of Blue Springs. So we'll see what happens. The new roof goes on the house Monday. I'm excited to get that done. |

Leaf Guard said on their website that if I made an appointment with them for an in-home estimate, they'd give me a $50 restaurant gift card. When the guy showed up after about 30 minutes, he said his stuff wouldn't fit on my house without cutting up the steel siding. So he said he didn't want to quote the job. I asked him about the gift card and he said since he didn't quote the job they would give me nothing. I thought that was BS. Should I make a case out of that? I met him on a Saturday morning, usually my day off, and he basically wasted my time.

Did you try Randall Guttering- I think they are here in town. They have the red truck with the snake on it.
Another option is to go to the new Menards and buy the best product that fits your needs. They have great prices. Then pay only for an install- probably $500.00 would be fair. it will save you an upcharge on all the materials. Best of luck. |

I'm not understanding what the hell the steel siding has to do with anything.

The ends of the siding have these steel caps on the edges of the house. This particular gutter hangs down 6" from the roof line, and in lots of spots the maximum drop right now is 5". They said they'd have to have a siding specialist come out and saw a bunch of stuff to make their product fit. That didn't sound like a good idea to me at all...

Bachelor #1: Refused to give me a quote. Stiffed me for a $50 restaurant coupon.
Bachelor #2: Hasn't sent his quote yet. On the phone today he gave me some "dog ate my homework" type of excuse. Bachelor #3: Right around $4500 for 100 feet. That's why we have Bachelor #4 and #5 coming next week. No good answers so far. |
