Whats the cost to install a new gutter system?
Reed: In the Pacific Northwest, most homes are fairly large, so the median cost for a typical new replacement gutter system, including a micro-filtration, will run between $3,000-$5,000. Roskamp: We have replaced all gutters and downspouts on a home for about $1,100. To save on costs, the homeowner might consider partial gutter replacement, or reusing existing downspouts. Elvig: It depends on the size of the house, but it can typically range in cost from $900 to $1,100 for the standard K-style aluminum gutters, which I recommend, because you can get them replaced easier if necessary. What’s the best way I can maintain my gutters, and what’s their typical life span? Reed: To maintain your gutters, clean them every year with a garden hose or a pressure washer, or brush the debris off with a long telescopic brush. The system should last a lifetime. Roskamp: A car wash scrub brush, an extension pole extending to 18 feet, a little bleach, dish soap, a bucket and a garden hose work for most
