Itemized gutter guard installation example
These are the same quantities and unit prices used by the downloadable app PDF. A cost line can represent measured work, a selected product allowance or a distinct site task. Check which interpretation applies before replacing any amount.

| Access and gutter inspection | 1 job | $240.00 | $240.00 |
| Gutter clean-out | 120 linear ft. | $3.00 | $360.00 |

| Corner and end pieces | 1 set | $160.00 | $160.00 |
| Guard installation | 120 linear ft. | $8.00 | $960.00 |

| Subtotal / example total | $3,564.00 | ||
How the subtotal is calculated
The example line for gutter clean-out is 120 linear ft. × $3.00 = $360.00. This line is one part of the complete 6-item estimate and uses a fictional unit rate.
The document sums the rounded line amounts to $3,564.00. Tax and markup are not included; a zero tax field in a sample document does not mean a real project is tax-exempt. Confirm the actual treatment for the job you are quoting.
Measurement to verify: Measure accessible gutter length, corners and outlet count; profile compatibility matters. Selection to verify: List guard product and end or corner pieces separately from installation.
Assumptions and exclusions
Clean and test the gutter before fitting the guard so blockages are not hidden.
Outside the stated scope: No gutter replacement, roof repair or promise of maintenance-free operation.
Loose or poorly sloped guttering requires repair before the guard is installed. If the scope changes after a client reviews the estimate, update the relevant quantities, allowances and written exclusions before sharing a revised PDF.
