Gutters: Cost & Pricing

• Are 6-Inch Gutters Worth the Extra Cost?

  For many homes, 5-inch seamless gutters are perfectly adequate. But 6-inch gutters can be worth the additional cost when a house has a steep roof, large roof areas, concentrated valley runoff, or recurring overflow during heavy Midwest rain. Suburban Construction installs both 5-inch and 6-inch seamless gutters throughout the Quad Cities and recommends sizing the system to the actual roof rather than automatically upsizing every home.

• Are Gutter Guards Actually Worth It?

  For many Quad Cities homeowners, gutter guards are worth it—especially when mature trees cause repeated buildup of leaves, pine needles, seeds, and other debris. Suburban Construction recommends the Shur Flo gutter protection system because its stainless-steel micro-mesh design keeps debris out while allowing rainwater into the gutter, can be installed on suitable existing gutters, and carries a 40-year product warranty through Suburban’s offering.
