Only if you don't already own one. A 20–24 ft extension ladder is typical for single-story homes. If you have one, your materials cost drops significantly.
Gutter guards ($20–$100) reduce cleaning frequency and debris buildup. They pay for themselves over time if you value less maintenance, though they require occasional cleaning too.
NailIt shows only materials you buy—scoops, guards, hose, sealant. You do all the work yourself. Contractor estimates include labor; yours does not.
