Check the arithmetic
- Gutter detach and support: 95 linear ft. × C$10.00 = C$950.00.
- Old board removal: 95 linear ft. × C$13.00 = C$1,235.00.
The rounded line amounts add to C$10,425.00. The PDF's tax field is 0%, so its illustrated total stays C$10,425.00 before any markup. The sample shows 0% tax only to make the arithmetic visible. Determine any applicable GST, HST or PST and markup for the actual work before sharing a quote.
Measurement to verify: Measure fascia run, soffit width, corner returns and existing gutter fixings. Product decision: Separate board material, vents and gutter brackets from access and installation.
The gutter detach and support line uses 95 linear ft., approximately 28.96 m. Check the route, cuts and supplier unit before setting a real quantity.
Assumptions and exclusions
Plan gutter support and weather protection before removing the old boards.
Outside this example: No roof covering replacement, full gutter renewal or concealed framing repair.
Rotten rafter tails or damaged roof edge require additional carpentry. Review access, grades, drainage and seasonal conditions at the property. Check utility locations, product availability and any local design or municipal requirements that apply to the real scope. Confirm a change and update the estimate before adding work that was not in the base scope.
