High Point Gutter replaced the gutter system on a single-story Everett home with 148 linear feet of wide-profile fascia-style aluminum gutter and 78 feet of 2×3-inch downspouts, and added 29 feet of counter flashing along the roof edge. The homeowners booked a new gutter assessment for September 11, 2026. Ten days later, on September 21, the crew took the old system down, recycled it, and hung the new one in a single day.

The situation
The assessment was September 11. This is a single-story home with an attached garage and gable ends on both the front and the side. A large tree canopy hangs over the side walkway, and evergreens stand behind the house. The assessment photos show the existing white gutter running along the roof edge and wrapping the gable ends.
What a fascia-style gutter is, and why this home kept the profile
Most gutters in this region are K-style: a shaped trough that hangs from a fascia board. A fascia-style gutter is different. It has a tall, flat outer face and fastens directly to the ends of the rafters, so it does the job of the fascia board and the gutter in one piece. In general, it is found on homes that were built without a separate fascia board behind the gutter.
This job was written as a fascia-style replacement, so the new system takes the same form as the one it came down from. Switching a home like this to K-style would normally mean adding a fascia board first, which is a separate scope. Keeping the profile kept the job to a one-day removal and install.
High Point fabricates fascia gutter in two profiles, narrow bead and wide bead. The homeowners chose the wide profile for this home, in low gloss white to match the trim.
Materials and how they were installed
The gutter was formed on site from .032 gauge aluminum in continuous lengths, which is the standard for every High Point gutter installation. High Point’s standard install uses Raytec hidden hangers and corrosion-resistant fasteners rather than drywall screws, and preformed outlets at the downspout drops instead of hand-cut openings. The aluminum carries a 20-year manufacturer warranty.
Seventy-eight feet of 2×3-inch downspouts went up with the fasteners hidden on the back side, so there are no straps across the face of the downspout. That is a look decision as much as a function one, and it is how High Point hangs every downspout.
Twenty-nine feet of counter flashing went in where there was a gap between the roofline and the top of the new gutter. High Point’s scope calls this the light gap: if you can see daylight between the shingle edge and the gutter, water can get behind the system. The flashing tucks behind the existing drip edge and bridges that space.
How the project was completed
Everything happened on September 21. The crew removed all 148 feet of the old gutter and the old downspouts and set them aside for recycling. The new fascia gutter was run on site, hung along the eaves and around the gable ends, and the downspouts were dropped at the same locations. The counter flashing went in along the 29 feet where it was called for.
Project cost range
This project fell in the $3,200 to $5,300 range. That covered 148 feet of wide-profile fascia gutter, 78 feet of downspouts, 29 feet of counter flashing, and removal and recycling of the old system.
On a fascia-style replacement, footage is the main driver, and fascia gutter is priced higher per foot than 5-inch K-style because there is more metal in the profile. Downspout footage and any flashing add to it. This home did not need fascia repair, drip edge, or gutter covers, which is why the range sits where it does. This range reflects the scope of this completed project and is not a current quote.
What homeowners with similar homes should know
If your home has fascia-style gutters, ask for a like-for-like quote before considering a switch to K-style. Because the fascia gutter fastens to the rafter tails, a K-style conversion generally means adding a fascia board first, and that changes the price and the timeline.
Ask about the light gap. Counter flashing was a small line on this job, but it is the part that keeps roof water from running behind the gutter on a home where the shingle edge does not reach the trough.
A straightforward replacement like this one can be done in a day. The ten days between assessment and install were scheduling, not work.
Related questions
How much does fascia-style gutter replacement cost in Everett, WA?
This Everett project fell in the $3,200 to $5,300 range for 148 feet of wide-profile fascia gutter, 78 feet of downspouts, and 29 feet of counter flashing, with the old system removed and recycled. Footage, profile, downspout count, and any wood repair behind the gutter are the main variables.
What is a fascia-style gutter?
A fascia-style gutter has a tall, flat outer face and fastens directly to the rafter ends, so it serves as both the fascia board and the gutter. K-style gutters, by contrast, hang from a separate fascia board. Fascia-style is common on homes that were built without a fascia board.
Can fascia-style gutters be replaced with K-style gutters?
In general, yes, but K-style needs a fascia board to hang from, so the conversion usually means installing fascia board along the roof edge first. On this project the homeowners kept the fascia-style profile, which made it a one-day removal and install.
What does counter flashing do on a gutter job?
Counter flashing closes the gap between the roofline and the top of the gutter. It tucks behind the existing drip edge so water leaving the shingles lands in the trough instead of running behind the system. This home needed 29 feet of it.
How long did this gutter replacement take?
The assessment was September 11, 2026, and the full removal and installation happened on September 21 in a single day.
