If your home doesn't have gutters or if you're current gutters are worn out, it can cause serious damage to your home. Rainwater can start to accumulate on your roof and in your foundation, resulting in structural problems and leaks. When you look for new gutters, make sure you choose an experienced professional to install them correctly. Prices will vary depending on how much material is required if you're simply adding more gutters to your existing gutters, and the type of materials your new gutters are made of. Additions like new downspouts will also cost more.
Cost to replace gutters
If you need to have your current gutters replaced, the average cost to remove and dispose of them is approximately $100. If you feel like you're able to remove the gutters yourself, it can save you a bit of money in terms of the total costs. Be prepared to pay a fee if you need to dispose of the gutters yourself. Depending on where you live, some municipalities may charge a fee of between $40 and $100 so it might be best to leave the job to the professionals anyway. If you don't remove the gutters the right way, it could result in damage which will end up costing more money to repair. When in doubt, contact a professional who should be able to include the price of removal and disposal of your old gutters in your estimate.
How much to install gutters. Labor cost
When it comes to determining the total cost to install new gutters on your home, the biggest and most expensive part is usually the material of the gutters you choose. Most contractors will charge you by the hour when they estimate the cost to install your new gutters. These prices can vary depending on where you live and the current demand for new gutters in your location. It should take around one full workday, or eight hours to install most gutters. If your home is larger or if you're adding other features, it's best to figure you'll pay for two full days, or 16 hours' worth of work just to be safe. Most handymen can install gutters and the process doesn't require any special licensing. Contact several companies in your area to get a full breakdown of the costs between materials and labor. Expect to pay around $1,000 per day for new gutters, which includes the cost of the material. Next, we'll explore the various materials used for gutters, so you have a better idea of the price and their different features.
Gutter material types, downspouts, and average cost
Gutters typically range between $3 per linear foot on the low end to around $40 per linear foot on the high end. Downspouts can range between $5 and $25 each, but they're necessary to help protect the foundation and the walls of your home. Downspouts help to carry rainwater away from the foundation to keep it from flooding. Without downspouts, you could end up with serious damage like crumbling and cracking of your garage or foundation. Gutters prevent excess erosion of your property as they redirect water toward the sidewalk and away from your yard and landscaping. The labor to install new gutters is generally the same regardless of what material you choose.
Here are the most common material types for gutters and downspouts including the average costs:
| Gutter Type | Average Cost | Lowest Cost | Highest Cost |
| Copper gutter | $33 | $25 | $40 |
| Steel gutter | $15 | $9 | $20 |
| Aluminum gutter | $9 | $6 | $12 |
| Vinyl gutter | $4 | $3 | $5 |
| Seamless gutters | $14 | $3 | $25 |
Copper gutter
For gutters made of copper, the price ranges between $25 and $40 per linear square foot, with downspouts averaging at approximately $17 per foot. Copper is a beautiful choice that adds a high-end look to your curb appeal. This material is known for its beauty, but it will develop a patina over time that changes the color from a shiny metallic hue to a greenish color. Copper is also prone to theft since some criminals steal it and recycle it due to its high value.
Steel gutter
A steel gutter costs between $9 and $20 per linear square foot. Downspouts average around $10 per square foot. Steel is more expensive than aluminum but doesn't really offer many more benefits in terms of directing water away from your home. However, if you're looking for something durable and long-lasting, steel is an excellent choice. If you live in an area with heavy rains, steel gutters are a wise choice.
Aluminum gutter
A popular choice for many homeowners, aluminum gutters cost between $6 and $12 per linear square foot, and downspouts range between $5 and $8 per foot. This option is great if you're on a budget, and aluminum gutters do a fine job of protecting your home from water. Since aluminum is such a lightweight material, it can be prone to damage and may need to be repaired or replaced more often than steel or copper.
Vinyl gutter
If you're getting new gutters on a budget, vinyl is the way to go. These gutters are just a mere $3 to $5 per linear foot on average, with downspouts costing between $5 and $8 per foot. If you don't live in an area with extreme weather conditions, vinyl gutters can give your home the protection it needs. As long as you maintain your vinyl gutters and keep them clean, they should last for many years.
Seamless gutters
The average costs to install seamless gutters is on average $14 per linear foot. With a range between $3 and $25 per linear foot.
If you're concerned about aesthetics, seamless gutters can be a great choice. Rather than sectional gutters, seamless gutters feature a single, continuous piece of material that runs across the front, back, and sides of your home. The contractor will measure the roof of your home and determine the correct length for each side. Then, using a special machine, they will cut the gutters to your specifications, so it sits perfectly along the roofline with no visible seams. Seamless gutters cost more than sectional pieces and range between $800 to $5,000 installed. This price depends on the material you choose and the total exterior square footage of your home. The price to install seamless gutters should include the cost of labor, delivery, and removal of your old gutters when applicable. Make sure you get a complete breakdown of your total cost before having a pro install sectional or seamless gutters.
If you choose to install sectional gutters, they usually come in sections of 5, 10, or 15-feet apiece. Ten-foot gutters are the most popular choice and can be purchased either at a home improvement store or directly from your contractor. Seamless gutters are preferred since they resist leaks due to the lack of seams and gaps. When there's no place for water to escape, it ensures that your home stays dry throughout every season and every type of weather.
Enhancements and improvements
In addition to standard gutter installation, you can choose from a variety of other improvements for your home. Here are a few options to consider along with their average costs:
Accessories
Splash blocks direct water away from your foundation to prevent damage and can cost between $5 and $10 each. If you need flashing, this addition costs approximately $10. Hangers will keep your gutters elevated which is especially important during times of excess wind or when a lot of water needs to drain during a storm, and they cost around $2 each.
Cleaning
You should keep your gutters clean and free of debris to ensure that rainwater is able to flow freely down into the downspouts. Expect to pay between $100 to $200 if you hire someone to clean your gutters. You can also rent a pressure washer or buy a cleaner attachment for around $25 so you can clean them yourself.
Gutter guards
Plastic mesh gutter guards help to keep leaves and debris out to prevent blockage. Gutter guards range between $7 and $12 per linear foot or you can opt to have gutters installed that include the guard already attached.
Downspout screens
Add downspout screens to your gutter to direct debris away from the opening which can help to prevent clogs. These screens cost about $8 apiece and are well worth it to keep leaves and other items above the slope of your gutters so the wind can simply blow them away.
Heat tape
If you live in a cold region, heat tape is a wise investment. As the weather freezes and temperatures plummet, it can cause overflow to fall to the ground which can pose a serious risk of injury. Use heat tape to keep your gutters from freezing. This enhancement costs around $77 for 100 feet and is well worth the extra expense.
Gutter installation cost factors
When you get an estimate to replace or install new gutters, always keep the material cost at the top of your list. Material like copper and steel will always cost you more per linear foot than aluminum and vinyl. Don't forget to take the size of your home into account, too. Most pros will measure the exterior footage to give you an estimate. In addition, there may be extra costs if your home has a lot of corners or if you're in an unusual location where certain spots are tough to access. Keep these things in mind when you get your estimates just in case the cost is higher than you originally expected. If you want to have your gutters painted a custom color, this will also be an additional charge outside of the installation cost.
Gutter materials cost
Besides the gutters themselves, there may be an additional cost for extra pieces and parts. Elbows or corners cost $4 each for vinyl and up to $20-$50 each for copper. Hangers are usually about $2 each but can be as high as $6 to $32 each for copper gutters. Flashing ranges from about $2.50 each on the very low end and up to $32 on the higher end of the spectrum. Splash guards tend to be the same price no matter what gutter material you use and tend to cost about $8 each.
