- In this video I show how I installed 200' of gutters. I also show the cost of each component with an analysis at the end if it's worth all the trouble.
Some components I mention in the video include:
Sheet metal crimpers:

End Cap Crimper:

3x4 Drain Punch out tool:

Gutter hangers:

Now you're in my wheelhouse. Used to do windows, doors, gutters and decking. This is not your first rodeo, I can tell. Another good one Rudy. Happy New Year to you, buster and the rest of the Home Improvement family .
TYSM Meat! I really appreciate it. Happy New Year to you and your family as well.... 😀
Very well done and illustrated !
TYSM!... 😀
If you want to save, then you should not buy those corner mites, instead you may want to make them yourself (almost save $10 per corner). Also you may not want to buy from HD or Lowes, instead you may want to buy from wholesale companies like ABC supply. You can easily save 20% on at least downsprout gutters (it saved me $100 for 12 pieces). You can also save some dollars on downsprout outlets. You can simply cut the hole in cross, and use those four pieces as downsprout outlets.
Thanks for the great tips! Yes the mitre corners from Lowes were a bit flimsy in my opinion. There is a sister company of ABC supply local to here but I didn't know about them at the time of the video...
I just got quote for easy tri-level 250' & 4 downspouts $3500 🤣🤣
These clowns have no shame 🤦♂️
Good night! Yes that's really high... I think I was a bit over 200'. I don't remember exactly now, but it was something like that...
when you cut the gutter with angle grinder you actually damage the zinc layer on top of the gutter and it gets prone to corrosion ;) you should always cut your metal with pliers :)
HI, thanks for the tip! I've actually never had that problem. I'll keep it in mind.
Gutters Are Made
Of Aluminum.
Amén.
Excellent video. I had no idea there was gutter spray paint but it makes perfect sense. There is rotten wood behind my gutter that I need to replace when I do it myself. What do you think that entails? Is the fasica board just nailed into the end of the roof rafters? Any idea what size of wood it usually is?
HI! Thanks for the good feedback... The facia board could be 5/4 x 6 board (1" thick) or it could be regular 1X 6 which is 3/4 thick. Depends on the house... You'll probably have to remove the gutter to get that out of there unless there's a way to support it while you remove the facia.....
What the cost
I think I broke down the cost at the end of the video. I want to say it was around $700 for 200 feet with 4 downspouts..
Really good job overall! I can't believe they quoted 2,200 for that job...its a 1,400 job tops.
Thanks! Yea they're pretty high around here... Maybe the materials have gone up as well. 200' is a lot since the gutters go around the whole house.
That's a fairly typical overall run around here. I think we averaged about $5 a foot for the gutter, about 60 for a downspout.
Oh very good.... $5/ foot is a good price! That would have wound up at $13-$1400.... I probably would have gone that route to get the seamless... 😀. What area are you in? I'm in Fl about 80 miles north of Tampa..
