Common questions

Frequently asked questions

How accurate is the estimate?

It is a national range adjusted for your region, home size and roof height. Real quotes vary with roof access and local labor rates, so use it to judge a quote, not replace one.

Does the estimator collect my details?

No. It runs in your browser and nothing you choose is sent to us or stored.

Which gutter guard type should I ask for?

Micro-mesh for most lots, especially with pine or fir trees. Aluminum screen is fine for large-leaf trees on a budget.
