At J&A Exterior, we’ve seen it all—gutters falling off after a year, water pouring behind the fascia, basements flooded because someone tried to cut corners. A “cheap” install might save you money up front, but trust me, it’ll end up costing you way more in repairs, damage, and headaches down the road.
The Illusion of Savings
On paper, that low quote might look great. But if the materials are subpar or the labor is rushed, it won’t hold up. Here’s where the hidden costs sneak in.
Cheap Materials = Short Lifespan
Low-quality vinyl or thin aluminum gutters may last 3–5 years—if that. Meanwhile, professionally installed seamless aluminum gutters can last 20+ years with proper care. You’re not just paying for the install; you’re paying for how long it actually lasts.
Poor Craftsmanship Leads to Bigger Problems
Cheap installs often mean:
- Incorrect pitch – leads to standing water and overflow
- Loose hangers – causes sagging or detachment
- Bad sealing – allows water to leak at joints and seams
- No flashing or drip edge – water can get behind the gutters and rot the fascia
These shortcuts don’t just wear your gutters out—they damage your home.
What a Quality Install Gets You
Long-Term Value
With the right materials and proper installation, your gutters protect your home from water damage for decades. That’s real value—saving you thousands in foundation, siding, or landscaping repairs.
