Is $2,100 for 180 feet a fair price?
Standard installed gutter guard pricing runs about $6 to $13 per linear foot, and premium systems run $15 to $45 per linear foot. At 180 feet, your quote is about $11.67 per foot, which sits in the middle of the mainstream range. This figure covers the guards only, not replacing gutters.
What should I do this week with this quote?
Compare the quoted price per linear foot against at least one other written quote for the same product. Confirm the guard type, whether old guards are removed, and whether cleanup is included. Ask for the warranty terms in writing.
What should I check before hiring the installer?
Tennessee requires a home improvement license for residential remodeling projects from $3,000 to $24,999, but only in counties that have adopted the law. Ask the pro for proof of general liability and workers' compensation insurance. Verify the license on the Tennessee state contractor list.
Does the price cover gutter replacement?
No. A $2,100 quote for guards assumes your existing gutters are sound. If gutters are sagging, rusted or pitched wrong, repairs or replacement are a separate cost. Ask the pro to note any gutter repairs needed before installation.
What to do next
- Request a written quote that lists the guard brand, model, and price per linear foot.
- Ask the pro for proof of general liability and workers' compensation insurance before signing.
