What Affects Gutter Cost?
- Gutter material: Material is the biggest price driver. Vinyl sectional gutters are $8 per linear foot. Seamless aluminum is $12. Galvanized steel is $14. Copper is $32. These are common K-style prices. Zinc usually falls between steel and copper and is not a choice here.
- Home height: The rates assume one story. Two stories add about 25 percent. Three stories add about 50 percent. A 200 linear ft seamless aluminum job is about $2,400 on one story and about $3,000 on two stories.
- Downspouts and old gutters: Downspouts are $100 each. Most houses need one about every 30 to 40 ft, so a 200 linear ft house often needs about five, or $500. Removing the old gutters is $200 for the house. Leave that at 0 for a new install with nothing to haul away. Gutter guards are often $5 to $20 per linear foot and are not included.
- Minimum job charge: Small runs use an $800 minimum. If the length-and-material math comes in lower, the estimate starts at $800. Displayed estimates are plus or minus 20 percent around the midpoint.
