how much would it cost to purchase house gutter guards for a two story house?

i was thinking about ordering gutter guards for my parents house for christmas to keep my dad from having to use the ladder and climb the two story house.(hes not getting any younger) does anybody have any idea how much it would cost for a two story house? thanks!

Hi, we recently installed our own gutter guards. We bought the 3ft lengths at Home Depot and my husband installed them. They seem to be working great…and the cost was not outrageous – I think we bought 15 for around $60. We have a huge water oak tree on one side of the house that keeps the gutters full and clogged – after putting up with it for a long time we finally put the covers on after getting our exterior repairs and painting down. They are easy to install.

I know this isn’t exactly what you were looking for but when I read your question, I thought you might like to know of an alternative as well.
