I'm doing a porch restoration on a porch with a rounded roof. I need to install gutter on the rounded section,other that cutting std alum gutter into several 5 inch pieces what other ways can this be done.
$40 a ft for custom bent half round copper?Copper! Half round works great for this, but it is expensive to have a qualified installer do it. Plan on 40 per ft. + $100 per miter if its really high end. Should be able to make it look great.
I'm guessing he was talking about segmented gutter. That's about what I get.$40 a ft for custom bent half round copper?
Using a SCMS with the proper blade, a nice looking segmented gutter can be created (we seldom have to use pieces much shorter than a foot). If a true radiused gutter is desired, this is about the best deal I've found:I'm doing a porch restoration on a porch with a rounded roof.

Hey Dave - Looking forward to meeting you at Mike and Susan's in July. Want Steve and I to pick you up on the way?By the way Seeyou, good to see you posting!
I charge a little over $40 a foot for a slight radius segmented 5" copper K style, soldered, out the door, not including hangers. We hang it, it's more. Larger sizes, tighter radius, or half round = more $. We're pretty darn efficient at it - we do it regularly.If Im reading this right, you guys are charging $40 ft for segemeted ( curved ) 6 inch half round copper gutters? My goodness that cheap, unless your riveting and caulking the joints and doesnt include hangers.
Last job I did I got $60. Curved would be more like $80 +. Now if I was eastern european or from south of the border then $40 would sound right.
For those prices one is just doing the work because they want to, not to make money. Those are prices from 10-15 years ago.
