THE SHORT ANSWER
How to Estimate Gutter Repair
40 ft of gutters with a leak patch, two sections and 4 labor hours at $55 totals about $480.
Length sets the base
Measure the gutter run being repaired. Longer runs carry more material and more joints to inspect.
- Gutter length
- Leak / rehang / replace
- Sections
- Labor
Match price to repair type
Sealing a seam is the cheapest repair; rehanging drooping gutters costs more; replacing a damaged section costs the most.
Count the sections
Each section worked on adds labor and connector cost. Counting sections keeps the bid honest.
Check slope and downspouts
A repair job should also confirm the gutter slopes toward the downspout, or the leak will return.
