I've been looking for a good contractor for gutter/downspout replacement.
I've had two contractors visit to give estimates, and am somewhat surprised
by the cavalier fashion in which they create a verbal estimate on the spot.
One looked some stuff up in a book and stated a single number cost estimate
for what I described having done, but did not provide any sort of breakdown
of costs, nor provide general information like warranties. The other
contractor also provided an immediate verbal estimate, but with a wide
range (like, "$1,500 to $2,500), and wasn't even familiar with the particular
material I wanted used. It's almost as though neither *really wanted*
the job.
But that experience dealing with contractors. More specifically, I've
chosen the Alcoa "Leaf Relief" anti-leaf system, but would be interested
in anyone else's experiences with that or "Gutter Helmet" or other
systems.
