Ways to save in Austin
- Choose seamless aluminum; it costs barely more than sectional and lasts twice as long.
- Add guards only where trees actually overhang — you rarely need them on every run.
- Bundle gutter work with a roof replacement to share ladder and crew setup.
- Get 6-inch gutters only if your roof is large or steep; otherwise 5-inch is fine.
- Clean gutters twice a year yourself and skip premium guard systems entirely.
