Price started at $29K, then offer "incentives" (like 10% if I display their sign on my property for 2 weeks, like give me a freaking break) to get it down to $21K, with a final call to the "ops manager" who offered another $1k off if I decided today. Give me your bottom line and go away while I make a decision. I don't give a shit about home reno shows which feature your product, or where you stack up in some sort of bullshit rating system. Yes I am going to get quotes from other companies, only a naive moron would not do that.
The minute he said if you decide today it's $21,000 I think I would have told him if you need a decision today the answer is no, thanks for your time.

Any idea how many LF of gutter? Seems high to me although I'll admit I don't know much about gutters. Materials are probably $15 to $35 a lf depending on type, installation could not be more than 2 guys 2 days but I'm guessing guys who do this all the time can do.it in less than a day.

That's my estimator brain not knowing a damm thing about gutters lol.
