Is $7,700 to repair dry rot, perform roof maintenance, and install 5-inch k-style gutters a fair price?

Project Details

The house has had no gutters for approximately 30 years. I am looking to repair dry rot and install new gutters. The contractor stated there is no price increase for 6-inch gutters over 5-inch, but the larger downspouts are significantly more expensive.

Quote Details

Comprehensive exterior maintenance and gutter installation including: - Repair up to 100 ft of dry rot (cut out rot, install and paint new wood) - Remove 44 ft of valley tiles, clean debris, and reinstall - Seal 2 lifted flashings with caulking - Seal junction with caulking and install lead flashing - Install 90 ft of seamless 5-inch K-style aluminum gutters (0.027 gauge) - Install 2x3 downspouts (6 total)

Thank you for your feedback!
