Here is a copper gutter job we did for a nice couple who live at
2325 A St. in Forest Grove, Oregon. They have been working
hard to personally remodel the inside, but got help to do the
outside work.
The aluminum gutters they had were hung from thin aluminum
straps nailed on the roof, and some had fallen off after a few years, so
they had the painters tear off the rest of the gutters and downspouts.
They had paid $23k just to have their house paint removed. And
another $13k to have it primed and a 4 tone paint job done.
Their house is on the Historical registry, so they were perplexed to
figure out how to solve their gutter problems.
 
They had spent a few years trying to find a gutter
contractor to even give them a bid for the work they needed, but
were unsuccessful. They were thrilled to finally find our web
site and see how we have already done this kind of work on houses
that were originally designed not to be able to mount gutters onto.

In our original bid to add the drip edge
that the roofers neglected
to install, and to build out the eaves of the roof in order to mount
the 175' of new aluminum gutters onto, the downspouts, and the No-clog options
had come to $4,600 total.
After seeing our bid, the
Kistlers then asked us for a price on 16oz copper gutters with the
mitered endcapping. This added only $3,200
more to the cost, for a total of $7,800. They put down
$3,900 to have us schedule it in, even though we were booked 3
months out. They latter added the heavy gauge 20oz copper
gutters to our bid. The final cost was $8,063.10
for everything after we recalculated the cost to reflect only the
materials used. So the heavy-duty copper only added
$263.10 to the original bid

taken over 300 photos, so they are spaced out over 7 separate web pages,
with the most detailed info on our web site of gutter fabrication. |
