My house doesn't have gutters.

Had anybody done them?

Looking at 100 feet. With only 2 corners. Shouldn't be that hard..?
Have them done by someone so theyre one seamless piece IMO.

10 foot pieces with seams looks worse and more potential for leaks in the future.

I have zero concerns for future issues/leaks. Lol.

Anything is better than what I have now.
Well then there you go. theyre not hard, just put a slight slope to them towards the downspouts. Make sure the fascia is solid to hold the mounting hardware and youll be good.

If you have a bunch of trees and shit in the area I would put a gutter guard on them too so youre not cleaning them twice a year. I used these from Home Depot and they work great:

From my pal that's local

"good luck finding someone, I've been trying to get gutters on my house and shop for a couple years, dozen calls, only ONE company even showed up to give an estimate, style craft, 268' of gutters was $4400. seemed excessive but I have no one to compare it too since no one else can bother to even return a call or show up for an estimate."

I'm doing them myself. $500 in material and an afternoon with my dad this spring or summer.

Gabled roof makes life simple. One long 64' length on the back, and a 64' front length split into two runs because of the cross gable over the front door. 8' entry way since it's an angled roof.

That's where I'm at with it currently.
I hate having people do work.

At least if I do it myself I have myself to blame only.

I have to put one on the back of my house just got quoted 750 for a 25’ straight run with a downspout that has to do a bit of a jog and is 15’ high, it seems a bit high but I called this place like 2 hours ago and the guy already stopped by and wrote me out a quote
