Gutter installers quote before nearly every job, usually after a site visit to measure the roofline and check the fascia. Homeowners often collect two or three bids and compare price per foot, material and gauge, guard options, and warranty.
When to use estimates: Use estimates to provide project quotes and get client approval before starting work. Once approved, convert your estimate to an invoice with one click to collect payment.

This is the basis of the price. If measurements change on site, the quote gives a clear reference for adjusting.
Clients comparing bids need to know whether they are looking at 5-inch or 6-inch, and .027 or .032 aluminum.
Removal is often assumed to be included. Stating it avoids disputes over disposal charges.
Rotted fascia is often found only when old gutters come off. Say what happens, and at what price, if hidden damage turns up.
Specify whether downspouts end in splash blocks, extensions, or underground drain tie-ins, since underground connections are usually extra.
Clients often assume guards come with new gutters. Say whether they are included or optional.

Work out footage, downspouts, accessories, and labor, then present a single total with a short breakdown. Clients like a clear number, and you keep the detail for your invoice.
Show 5-inch aluminum, 6-inch aluminum, and 6-inch with guards as separate prices. Many clients pick the middle option, and you avoid a lost bid because of one fixed spec.
Add a per-foot or per-board price for replacing rotted fascia that you find after tear-off. This prevents a surprise and lets you bill fairly without renegotiating.
Price steep roofs, third stories, and tight side yards with a surcharge or a higher per-foot rate. Looking only at a street photo often leads to underquoting.
Most installers give free estimates for standard installs because competition expects it. Some charge a fee for complex commercial jobs or drawings, and credit it toward the work if the client accepts.
15 to 30 days is common. Aluminum coil, guards, and fuel costs change, so an expiry date keeps you from honoring an outdated price.
You can give a rough estimate that way, but state that the final price is subject to on-site measurement. Complex rooflines, hidden damage, and access problems are hard to see remotely.
Say in the quote whether the price is fixed or adjusted per foot after installation. Many installers use a fixed price within a small tolerance and bill the per-foot rate for significant differences, with the client's approval.
