How much do gutters cost installed?
Short answer. Installed gutter prices are usually quoted per linear foot, and seamless aluminum is the most common and cost-effective choice for Georgia homes; 6-inch gutters, thicker coil, copper or steel, extra downspouts and underground drainage all raise the price. The real total also depends on removing old gutters, repairing fascia and whether you add guards.
What is in an installed gutter quote
- Gutter footage. Measured along each run, with inside and outside corners counted.
- Size and material. Five-inch aluminum is the baseline. Six-inch, thicker coil and premium colors cost more; copper costs many times more.
- Downspouts. Priced by count and length. Two-story walls mean long downspouts, and 3 by 4 inch downspouts cost more than 2 by 3.
- Elbows and extensions. Enough to route water clear of walkways and the foundation.
- Hangers. Hidden hangers at close spacing should be standard, not an upgrade.
- Drainage. Tying into existing underground lines or adding new ones is a separate line.
- Removal and disposal of old gutters.
- Fascia repair at a stated price per foot, used only if rot is found.
- Guards, if wanted.
Ways to keep the price sensible
Have gutters sized to the roof instead of upsizing everything. Put downspouts where the water needs to go, not just where they are easiest to hang. Bundle gutters with a roof replacement, when the drip edge is new and the crew is already set up.
When insurance may be involved
If a hailstorm dented your gutters and downspouts, that damage is often part of the roof claim scope, depending on your policy and the adjuster's findings. Document dents with photos before any work.
