The price seems more than reasonable. Lowes and Home Depot sell the aluminum stairs for around $250. Would you buy it, take it to your home, and install it for $150.00...? Good work in not cheap and cheap work is not good.

Note......beware of the many gutter companies that install these on the side. The manufacturer says you MUST use either 16D common nails, or 3" Lag screws, or else it voids the warranty. You must use 10 of them. They typically include the Lags with the unit.

Gutter companies wrongly use gutter screws...NOT rated for this use. It voids the warranty. Go with a company that does it correctly. Tim Miller's company is one of the few that DOES install these correctly.
