The formula

Cost = linear feet x material rate x height multiplier + downspouts x unit cost + removal

Measure the roof edge, not the roof area. A rectangular home usually needs gutters along the two eave sides only, not the gable ends.

Seamless aluminum runs $8 to $14 per linear foot installed in 2026. Copper runs $28 to $45.

One downspout per 30 to 40 feet of gutter run is the usual rule, with more added on long runs or steep roofs that shed high volume.
