Is price for removing and replacing gutters reasonable?
Hello!
So we have to replace a gutter on the home we purchased since water can overflow right down a wall. The wood facia is completely rotted and has to be torn off and replaced. We also have to get a cricket installed since water is coming down where the chimney is. We also need to have the drip skirt so water won't overflow and come back into the house again, and extra large downspouts since apparently they could clog when they shouldn't.
Anyways, I know gutter installation is expensive, but I'm not totally sure if the price I was given is reasonable. We had our own gutters and roof completely replaced on our own home and it was a little over 13k, but I am not home to see if we had a copy of the itemized receipt. Does this seem reasonable (Twin Cities, MN)?:
