e total linear footage of gutters that need to be positioned along the edges of your roof.
Downspouts are also taken into consideration. Downspouts that are for single-story houses typically measure 13 feet in length. For two-story homes the best option is to double the length to 26 linear feet.
Miters and end caps also should be taken into account. End caps can be found at the end of the gutter. The miters, which are 90-degree-shaped, link straight gutters to the corner of your home. End caps measure about one linear foot, and miters can be as long as the length of four feet.
Then, these numbers are put together , and then used by contractors to determine the cost total. The illustration in the video above is a one-story home that has 218 linear feet of gutters. It is estimated to cost $1300-1600.
While this might sound like an expense, the cost is far less than the roof replacements or water damages that can be caused by worn out gutters. To find out more go to the video.
