What Affects Gutter Cost?
Material
Aluminum seamless is the most popular choice (80%+ of installations). Copper is premium. Vinyl is cheapest but less durable.
Home Size and Stories
A typical home needs 100-200 linear feet. Two-story homes cost 20% more due to ladder/scaffolding work.
Gutter Guards
Leaf guards add $7-$22 per linear foot but reduce maintenance. Premium micro-mesh brands (LeafFilter, LeafGuard, Gutter Helmet) run $15-$25 per linear foot installed.
Fascia Repair
If fascia boards are rotted, expect $5-$15 per linear foot for replacement before gutter installation.
