Frequently asked questions

How much do new gutters cost?

Most U.S. gutter installations cost about $900 to $6,500, or roughly $6 to $22 per linear foot. Seamless aluminum sits at the lower end; steel, copper and added gutter guards push the price up.

Should I get 5-inch or 6-inch gutters?

5-inch K-style gutters suit most homes. 6-inch gutters carry about 40% more water and are worth it for large or steep roofs, heavy-rain regions, and roofs that drain into a single long run.

Are gutter guards worth the cost?

Under heavy tree cover, guards can cut cleaning from several times a year to occasional checks. They add to the installed price, so for homes with few trees nearby, regular cleaning is often cheaper.

How long do gutters last?

Aluminum gutters commonly last 20 years or more, galvanized steel somewhat less before rust sets in, and copper can last 50 years or more. Keeping them clean and pitched correctly extends their life.
