Holy shit, people! Install them yourself. My dad and I did a whole house in one afternoon. It was about as technical as digging a ditch.
If your buy galvinized metal gutters, you need to rub them down with vinegar before you paint them (let the vinegar dry off prior to painting). This dissolves a chemical on the metal that would cause the paint to flake off. Paint them prior to installation. It will make your life so much easier.
I bought everything at Home Despot, and it was pretty cheap, cosidering the scope of the project. Tools you need for the job include two ladders, a caulk gun, tin snips, gloves and an two hammers.
Be sure you slope the gutters and follow the manufacturer's instructions as to the number of supports needed per # of feet.
Do it! Save yourself some money. Its really not tough, its just something that most folks don't generally do themselves.
PM me if you have any questions
