That's our range to install aluminum gutters, the most common choice, with a typical price of about $10 per linear foot. A home with 150 ft of gutters typically pays about $1,500 for aluminum, or about $1,150 for vinyl. Downspouts, guards and removing the old gutters can add to that.
Estimate Our range, based on sources [1][2][3]. Planning numbers, not quotes. Height, roofline and seamless vs. sectional move the price.
Bars run from our Low to High figure; the dark tick marks Typical. Same numbers as the table below.
Gutter installation cost by material
Most homes get 5-inch K-style aluminum gutters. Vinyl costs less but doesn't last as long; copper and zinc cost several times more and can last for decades.

|---|---|---|---|
| Aluminum | $9 – $15 | $10 | HomeGuide $10 – $20; Angi $3 – $15, and $7 – $13 in its aluminum guide[1][2][3] |
| Vinyl (PVC) | $5.50 – $9.50 | $7.50 | HomeGuide $8 – $12; Angi $3 – $7[1][2] |
| Steel (galvanized) | $10.50 – $22 | $16.50 | HomeGuide steel $10 – $35; Angi galvanized $5 – $20[1][2] |

Estimate Our range, based on sources [1][2][3]. For each tier we pooled the low, midpoint and high figure each source publishes for a comparable scope (a single benchmark figure counts once), then used the median as Typical and the middle half of the pooled figures as Low–High. We pooled HomeGuide's and Angi's installed per-foot ranges for each material, plus Angi's aluminum-specific guide for aluminum. See How we build our ranges.
Aluminum gutter cost by home size Estimate
Most homes need 100 to 200 linear feet of gutters, roughly a tenth of the home's square footage.[1] HomeGuide's typical gutter lengths for single-story homes, priced at our aluminum range:
| Home size | Gutter length Sourced | Our range Estimate | Typical Estimate | HomeGuide, any material Sourced |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1,000 sq ft home | about 130 ft | $1,150 – $1,950 | $1,300 | $1,600 – $3,300 |
| 1,500 sq ft home | about 150 ft | $1,350 – $2,250 | $1,500 | $1,800 – $3,800 |

What drives the price
- Length and height. Gutters are priced by the foot, and two-story homes add $1 – $3 per foot for ladders and safety gear.[1]
- Roofline. Dormers, valleys and many corners mean more cuts, miters and downspouts. HomeGuide says difficult roofs can add 10% to 30%.[1]
- Seamless vs. sectional. Seamless gutters are formed on site in one piece per run. They cost more but leak less at the joints.
- Size and style. 6-inch gutters for big roofs or heavy rain add $1 – $2 per foot; half-round gutters add $1 – $2.[1]
- Fascia condition. New gutters need solid fascia boards to hang on. HomeGuide says damaged or rotting fascia must be repaired first, at $5 – $12 per foot.[1]
