What Can I Expect to Pay for New Gutters in Fort Myers?

We don’t think much about the gutter systems in our homes until they fail. When we see the waterfalls over the edge of our gutters during a strong rainstorm or evidence of water in the basement, we may begin to wonder when we last cleaned out the gutter system. It is important to make sure the gutters are working properly to prevent mold, mildew, or other water damage to the roofing system as well. 

Replacement gutters in the Fort Myers area are, on average,  between $500 and $3,000. This price can vary due to the gutter style chosen, the gutter material, and the size of the home.

We lean toward two types of gutter systems. The seamless and the K-style have proven to be effective in the safe removal of water and in protecting your home. Let’s explore each. 

Seamless Gutter System:

• Custom Cuts – your home is precisely measured and the gutters are cut on-site. There is little room for error
• Reduced Debris Build-up – seamless gutters do not have joints where debris, leaves, and twigs can get cluttered. The gutters have a smooth surface for the excess water to flow freely to the downspouts
• Fewer Joints – as mentioned above, there are fewer joints in a seamless gutter. This allows for a crisp clean appearance which adds to the curb appeal of your home
• Less Leakage – minimal joints + less debris buildup equals less leakage of water
• Visually Appealing – a sleek and smooth appearance is a key factor to the seamless gutter system
• Color Match – a variety of colors can be chosen to match the siding of your home

K-Style Gutter System:

• No Leaks – this system also offers a seamless finish, making it less prone to leakage
• Large Capacity – massive rainstorms and excessive rain can easily be handled by this type of gutter
• Strong and Durable – k-style gutters are less likely to bend or protrude when impacted by force
• Ease of Installation – these are flat on one side, easy to install, and there is no need to worry about brackets
• Readily Available – they can come in aluminum, galvalume, and copper. Contractors are easily able to locate the material you desire
• Stylish – this system mimics crown molding, making it an elegant appearance and addition to the home

Regardless if you choose seamless or k-style, it is wise to consider gutter guards as an added protection against buildup and debris clutter.  Gutter guards are made of mesh or thin screens installed over the gutters. Small particles can filter through the guards, but the potential for buildup is minimal. It is wise to inspect your gutters and guards yearly as a regular maintenance plan. (Before installing new gutters, you might want to have a roof replacement first so you can avoid spending twice for gutter installation.
