Gutter replacement cost depends on how much gutter you need, how many downspouts you're adding, how tall your home is, and whether you want gutter protection. The shape of your roofline matters too—more corners and jogs mean more labor.

This page breaks down what drives cost and gives you a ballpark range before we measure. The calculator provides an estimate, not a quote. Final pricing gets confirmed after we see the home.

WHAT DOES GUTTER REPLACEMENT COST COVER?

Gutter installation cost includes more than just the gutters themselves. You're paying for a complete system that moves water away from your foundation.

A typical gutter replacement project includes:

Removal and disposal of your old gutters and downspouts

New seamless gutters custom-formed on-site to fit your roofline

Downspouts and extensions routed to direct water away from the foundation

Hangers, end caps, and miters (the corner pieces that join gutter runs) for proper support and sealed corners

Pitch and drainage setup — that's the slight angle that makes water flow toward your downspouts instead of pooling

Site cleanup at the end of each workday

Does Gutter Type Affect Cost?

Seamless gutters are what we install on most residential projects. The flat back mounts flush against your fascia (the board that runs behind your gutters), and the profile handles high water volume without leaking at joints. Most gutter replacement cost estimates assume seamless aluminum unless you specify otherwise.

Half-round gutters have a curved, trough-like shape that fits certain architectural styles—older homes, Spanish tile roofs, historic renovations. They typically cost more due to specialized hangers and installation methods.

For a full breakdown of gutter profiles and when each makes sense, see our gutter types page.

What Affects Gutter Replacement Cost?

Several factors determine your final gutter replacement cost. The calculator uses these same inputs to generate your ballpark range.

Linear feet of gutter → More roofline coverage means more material and labor. We measure every run, including garage and covered porches.

Number of stories → Two-story homes require taller ladders or lifts, which adds time and safety equipment. Steeper roofs compound this.

Downspout count and length → Each downspout adds material cost. Longer runs to reach proper drainage points add more.

Roofline complexity → Corners, inside miters, and jogs require custom cuts and more sealing. A simple rectangle costs less than an L-shaped or multi-gable layout.

Removal and disposal → Replacing old gutters costs more than installing on new construction because we're removing and hauling away the existing system.

Removal and disposal → Protection add-ons increase upfront cost but reduce long-term maintenance. See our gutter guards page for options.

What's Included in Gutter Replacement Cost?

Understanding what's included helps you compare estimates accurately. Here's how we break it down:

Typically Included	May Add Cost
Standard removal and disposal	Extra downspouts beyond typical count
Seamless gutter installation	Two-story or steeper roof access
Standard downspout placement	Complex rooflines with many corners
End caps, miters, hangers	Gutter guard add-ons
Basic sealing and cleanup	Fascia or trim repair (if discovered)

If we find rotted fascia or other issues during removal, we'll discuss options before proceeding. We see this fairly often on older homes where water has been sitting against the wood for years.

How Do I Read My Calculator Results?

Your gutter cost estimator results show a range rather than a single number for good reason. "Not sure" answers widen the range because we're accounting for multiple scenarios. Unknown conditions—like fascia condition or exact roofline complexity—add uncertainty until we see the home.

What the measurement visit confirms:

Exact linear feet of gutter needed

Optimal downspout count and placement

Roofline complexity and access requirements

Any hidden issues (rotted wood, improper pitch)

The measurement visit takes about 30–45 minutes and gives you a firm, detailed estimate.

The calculator gives you a starting point. A measurement visit gives you the real number—plus a plan for downspout placement, drainage, and any add-ons that make sense for your home.

Every project includes our Lifetime Workmanship Warranty—that's our labor guarantee that doesn't expire. The Gold Standard Protection Plan adds annual inspections, priority scheduling if issues arise, and transfers to the new owner if you sell your home.
