How Much Does Gutter Replacement Cost?

Estimate gutter replacement cost per linear foot — vinyl, aluminum, steel and labor — with the free calculator.

Gutters protect the roof, foundation and siding, and replacement is a straightforward per-linear-foot quote. This guide covers the materials, what drives the price and a calculator to price the job.

THE SHORT ANSWER

The short answer

Gutters run $3–$12 per linear foot installed by material: vinyl $3–$7, aluminum $6–$12, steel $9–$14. A typical home with 120 linear ft runs $1,000–$2,500 installed.

01

Materials per linear foot

Vinyl is the cheapest and easiest to install. Aluminum is the most common residential choice — durable and rust-free. Steel and copper are heavier and cost more, with copper lasting 50+ years.

  • Vinyl: $3–$7 per linear ft installed
  • Aluminum: $6–$12 per linear ft installed
  • Steel: $9–$14 per linear ft installed
  • Copper: $20–$30 per linear ft installed
02

What adds to the price

Downspouts, corners, end caps and hangers are usually priced per piece. Gutter guards add $2–$8 per linear ft. Two-story homes add labor for access. Old gutter removal and disposal are extra.

03

Measure the job

Measure the total linear footage of the roofline edges you're replacing. Most homes have 100–160 linear ft. Add 10% for waste and count each downspout and corner as a line item.
