When should gutters go on a new Gluckstadt home?
Gutters should go on a new Gluckstadt home after the fascia is painted and before the final grade and landscaping are finished. Dun-Rite Seamless Gutters, Inc. forms the gutters on site in one visit, and most single-story houses are done in a day. Getting them up before sod and beds go in keeps roof water from cutting channels through fresh topsoil.
New subdivisions around Gluckstadt Road and the I-55 interchange are still filling in, and new houses are often delivered without a complete gutter system. A complete system on a typical new home costs $1,200 to $3,500.
How does Dun-Rite work with Gluckstadt builders?
Dun-Rite works with builders through ongoing partnerships. Builder partnerships are the normal arrangement in Gluckstadt, where one builder may have several houses under way on the same street.
- A certificate of insurance is issued with the builder named as additional insured.
- Billing follows standard contractor terms, in AIA format on request.
- Color is chosen from nine stocked finishes so a house is not waiting on an order; see the aluminum gutter colors.
Buyers who contract for gutters themselves get the same .032 gauge material and the same seamless installation the builders do.
Do new-construction lots need different downspouts?
New-construction lots usually need larger downspouts and a plan for where the water goes. A freshly graded lot has no established turf or mature roots to slow runoff, so water leaving a downspout moves soil quickly. Dun-Rite recommends 3x4 downspouts for most homes, each draining about 1,200 square feet of roof.
Where the lot slopes toward a neighbor or the street, an underground drainage tie-in at $300 to $800 per run carries the water past the beds. Gluckstadt is one of four Madison County cities on the service area list.
What do Gluckstadt buyers and builders ask?
Gluckstadt buyers and builders ask Dun-Rite about timing on a new build, whether the builder or the owner should order the gutters and what the warranty covers.
My new Gluckstadt house has no gutters. Is that normal?
It is common for a new home to be delivered without a full gutter system. Dun-Rite can install one after closing, usually in a single day for a one-story house.
Should my builder order the gutters, or should I?
Either works. Dun-Rite has ongoing builder partnerships and can be scheduled as part of the build, or a homeowner can call (601) 750-1800 directly for a written estimate.
What warranty comes with gutters on a new home?
A 25-year manufacturer warranty on materials and a 2-year labor warranty on the installation, the same as any Dun-Rite job.
