Installed gutter runs from about 3 dollars a foot for vinyl to 45 for copper, with aluminum, the common choice, at 6 to 13. The per foot rate is the fairest way to compare quotes, because it strips out how long your particular run happens to be and leaves you comparing the actual work and material on a like for like basis.

A rate that only covers bare gutter is not comparable to one that covers the job.
| Should be in the rate | Often a separate line |
|---|---|
| Forming and hanging the run | Downspouts and outlets |
| Sealing the corners | Fascia repair |
| Standard hanger spacing | Underground drainage |
| Tear-off of the old gutter | Gutter guards |

Because a low rate can hide assumptions that cost you later.
Put both quotes on the same written specification, so the rates cover the same work, then compare. A rate only means something once you know what sits inside it.
To see the install the rate pays for, read the complete gutter guide.
About 3 to 6 dollars for vinyl, 6 to 13 for aluminum, 9 to 20 for steel and 25 to 45 for copper, all installed.
Forming and hanging the run, sealing corners, standard hangers and tear-off. Downspouts, fascia repair and guards are often separate lines.
No. A low rate can assume thin metal, wide hangers or sound fascia, any of which can raise the real total or shorten the run's life.
Get both on the same written specification so the per foot rates cover the same work, then the numbers are genuinely comparable.
