Saint-Jean-de-Matha: what makes the price of your gutters vary
We don't give a "starting at" price that doubles once we're on site. The price is calculated for your house, from a few factors. Here they are.
- Complete maintenance: roof blown off, gutters emptied by hand, downspouts cleared
- Included at no charge: fasteners, up to 2 joints and 10 hangers
- Proof: before/after photos and report
- Quote: online, no visit
The factors
| Factor | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| The total length of the gutters | It's the basis of the calculation, measured on aerial views |
| The height (number of storeys) | Different equipment and setup time |
| Access around the house | A hedge, a pool or a slope make setting up the ladder harder |
| The amount of debris | Under big trees, there's more to remove |
| Secondary buildings | Garage, shed: added to the same visit |
What doesn't change the price
Common small repairs: up to 2 joints redone and 10 hangers added are included. So are clearing the downspouts, picking up the debris, the before/after photos and the roof inspection (if the pitch is 7/12 or less). The written price you get is what you pay for this work.
Gutter guards, on the other hand, are priced per foot
If you want to space out maintenance: Gutter Clean System at $7.50 per linear foot (25-year warranty) or Gutter Clean Pro at $9.60 per linear foot (lifetime warranty, conifers included). The details. Where the water should go.
Municipal bylaws
Gutters: what the bylaw says in Saint-Jean-de-Matha
We haven't verified the official text for Saint-Jean-de-Matha yet. Here are the rules found in the vast majority of municipalities in the Laurentians and Lanaudière:
- Never connect a downspout to the foundation drain (weeping tile) or to the sewer: it is prohibited in most municipalities in Quebec.
- Release the water on the surface, onto a permeable area (lawn, flower bed), away from the foundation. Required distances generally range from 1 m to 2 m, and 1.5 m is the most common.
- Don't direct water toward the street, the driveway, the sidewalk or the neighbouring lot (Civil Code of Québec, art. 983).
Before any work, confirm the rule with the Saint-Jean-de-Matha urban planning department. During our inspection, we flag any downspout connected to the drain or emptying too close to the foundation.
