rain gutters: Dallas & FW Texas $1276 per home
Hi all -
I have a SFR in each Dallas and FW which I've owned for about 18 months each. Thus far all has been well and I have not had any issues related to difficult weather and flooding. Today my property manager e-mailed me out of nowhere and said the intense rains are seeping into the homes - damaging baseboards and seeping through the windows. This came as a surprise to me as I have yet to hear a single peep from them; not to mention I emailed a few months ago specifically asking if the properties had been impacted by the rains at all and was assured all was in good order.
In any case, attached to the e-mail was a quote from a contractor to install a "full gutter system" - "5" Seamless Gutters with 2x3 Downspouts 263 LF"
The property is 1700 sq ft and the quote if for $1276. If anyone has feedback on (a) how important gutters are, particularly this area of the country and (b) the quote - or any other thoughts at all, much appreciated.
thanks
