[QUOTE="Junior00, post: 12876600, member: 30475"] Make sure and go with at least a 6" "K" style gutter and 3x4" downspout, anything less and you're wasting your money and time. I would also suggest replacing any questionable fascia board and then go with a hidden hanger instead of spike & ferrule. It makes the job go faster and they hold up much better over time. If you intend on doing this yourself I assume you know how and what measurements you need. Take them to a sheet metal fabricator and have seamless gutters run off or have someone bring their machine and run them at your house. Get your end caps, outlets, elbows (A or B style unless you're doing half round and you can disregard my comment about the hidden hangers), downspout (you can have these run seamless also if you would like or buy in 10' sections as is the norm for most), miters (inside/outside unless making your own), a tube or 2 of Parbond sealant, rivet gun/rivets, and some sheet metal screws and go to town. If you need any help feel free to PM about specifics. If you have long runs and/or high heights then 2 men at least are a must so get a buddy or 3. Good luck and I'm sure it will come out nice. *EDIT* I missed the actual question like a dummy. If you're halfway competent which I assume you to be since you're doing the roof also, with a couple buddies and the gutters already pre-run, a 1/2 to 3/4 day is easily doable imho. We used to do 2/3 houses per day pretty easily with a 2/3 man crew depending on the job size. [/QUOTE]
