Add up the linear feet of gutter your roof carries, multiply by a per foot rate for the material, then add downspouts, corners and an allowance for fascia repair. That gives a working replacement figure. It will not replace a site visit, but it tells you quickly whether a quote you have been given is in a sensible range.
Gutter Answers connects you with licensed local companies. We are not a contractor and do not perform the work ourselves.
Use the middle of the band for your material, and lean higher for a steep or awkward roof.
| Material | Rate to use |
|---|---|
| Vinyl | $4 to $6 per linear foot |
| Aluminum | $6 to $13 per linear foot |
| Steel | $9 to $20 per linear foot |
| Copper | $25 to $45 per linear foot |
For what each of those rates should include, see how gutter pricing works.
Take a two story home with 190 linear feet of gutter and five downspouts averaging 25 feet.
A two story pushes the rate up because access is slower and less safe.
Because your fascia, your access and your drainage cannot be read off a calculator, and those are where quotes actually part company. Use the figure to challenge a quote, not to award the job.
To see the replacement carried out in order, read the full installation guide.
Multiply your total linear feet by a per foot material rate, then add downspouts, corners and a fascia allowance for a working total.
For an average home in aluminum, roughly 1,000 to 2,500 dollars, with larger or two story homes and premium materials running well above that.
Accurate enough to sanity check a quote on length and material. It cannot see access or fascia condition, so it will not match a real bid exactly.
Yes. Access is slower and less safe on a two story, so installers price a higher per foot rate than for a low single story run.
