Gutter Installation / Replacement

This proposal covers installation of approximately {{linear_feet}} linear feet of new seamless gutter at {{client_address}}.

Scope of work

• Remove existing gutters and downspouts where present; haul off-site

• Inspect fascia for rot or damage; minor patches included (major fascia replacement quoted separately)

• Run new {{gutter_size}} seamless gutter on-site (color: {{color}})

• Install hidden hangers at 24" on-center for proper load capacity

• Install {{downspout_count}} downspouts with proper pitch and elbows to discharge 4'+ from foundation

• Install splash blocks at downspout outlets

• Caulk and seal all joints with manufacturer-approved sealant

• {{include_guards}}

• Final cleanup of yard around work zone

What's included

• Seamless gutter run on-site (no factory joints except at corners)

• Hidden hangers (no external straps)

• Downspouts and elbows

• Splash blocks

• Permit if required by AHJ

• Cleanup

Estimated duration: 1 day on-site for installations under 200 lin ft.

Start date: on or about {{start_date}}. Weather-dependent — installation deferred during heavy rain or temperatures below 35°F (sealant cure issue).

Total contract price: {{total}}

Fixed price based on linear footage, downspout count, and color selection at signing.

Payment in full upon substantial completion (gutters installed and tested with hose).

Payment in full on substantial completion. Check, ACH, or major credit card accepted (3% processing surcharge for credit).

Invoices are due upon receipt. Payments more than ten (10) calendar days past due accrue a service charge of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month on the unpaid balance, or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is less. {{contractor_name}} reserves the right to stop work and preserve lien rights if any progress payment is not received within five (5) business days of the due date. All retained mechanic's lien, stop notice, and bond rights under applicable state law are preserved.

The following items are specifically NOT included in the contract price and are the responsibility of {{client_name}} unless added by written Change Order:

• Permits, plan-review fees, and jurisdictional inspection fees unless explicitly itemized above

• Repair or remediation of pre-existing code violations discovered during the work

• Asbestos, lead paint, mold, or other hazardous material abatement

• Structural engineering, architectural drawings, or third-party design services

• Finish selections, fixtures, or appliances not listed in the itemized scope

• Work on concealed systems (electrical, plumbing, HVAC, framing) beyond the points of connection identified

• Landscaping restoration beyond returning disturbed areas to rough grade

• Post-completion cleaning beyond construction broom-clean

• Fascia board replacement beyond minor patching (quoted separately at $8–$14/lin ft)

• Soffit repair or replacement

• Roof flashing or drip edge repairs

• Underground drain tile or French drain (separate quote)

• Pop-up emitters or decorative downspout extensions

• Removal of trees or branches obstructing gutter line (owner responsibility)

This proposal is based on the following assumptions. If any assumption is incorrect, the contract price and schedule are subject to adjustment by Change Order:

• Site access is available during normal working hours (7am–5pm, Monday–Saturday)

• Adequate parking is available within 100 feet of the work area

• Electrical power and potable water are available on-site at no cost to contractor

• Existing structural elements, waste lines, water supply, and electrical service are in serviceable condition unless noted

• {{client_name}} will remove personal property, artwork, and valuables from the work area prior to start

• Work is based on a single mobilization; re-mobilization required due to delays outside contractor's control will be billed at current rates

• Fascia is structurally sound; minor cosmetic damage may be patched but full replacement is excluded

• Roof edge is straight and accessible; cathedral ceilings or unusual roof lines may require T&M for additional time

• Existing electrical and plumbing don't conflict with downspout drop locations

Any modification to the scope, specifications, materials, or schedule set forth in this agreement must be authorized in writing as a Change Order signed by both parties before the work is performed. Each Change Order will describe the modified scope, any adjustment to the contract price, and any impact on the schedule. Verbal instructions do not modify this agreement. Additional time and cost associated with unforeseen conditions — including but not limited to concealed rot, asbestos, mold, faulty prior installation, unmarked utilities, or code-required upgrades triggered by the work — will be documented as a Change Order and billed at the rates stated in this proposal or at {{contractor_name}}'s then-current published labor rates, whichever is in effect at the time the condition is discovered.

{{contractor_name}} warrants the workmanship of the installed work for a period of one (1) year from the date of substantial completion. Manufacturer warranties on materials and equipment pass through to {{client_name}} as provided by the manufacturer and are the exclusive source of any material warranty. This warranty does not cover normal wear, abuse, neglect, acts of God, subsequent work performed by others, damage from settlement or movement of the building, or modifications to the installed work performed without written consent. To make a warranty claim, {{client_name}} must notify {{contractor_name}} in writing within thirty (30) days of discovering the alleged defect and allow reasonable access to inspect and repair.

This proposal is valid for 30 days from the proposal date ({{proposal_date}}). Pricing is subject to change after that date due to material market fluctuations and scheduling availability. Acceptance requires signature below and receipt of the deposit amount stated in Payment Terms. Upon acceptance, this proposal, together with any attached specifications and subsequent written Change Orders, constitutes the complete agreement between the parties and supersedes any prior oral or written discussions.
