Gutter Installation & Replacement

Protect Your Home from Water Damage

Gutter installation runs $14-$18 per linear foot for standard 5-inch K-style aluminum, $20-$32 per linear foot for 6-inch aluminum or stainless. Long roof runs (40-plus feet) or steep pitches typically require the upgraded 6-inch size to handle California burst-style winter rain. Most homes complete in 1-2 days; seamless gutters are formed on-site to the exact roof length so the only joints are at corners. Optional add-ons: gutter guards, downspout extensions, splash blocks, and rain barrels for stormwater capture.

Gutter installation runs $14-$32 per linear foot depending on size and material. Gutter material options: aluminum (most common, doesn't rust, paintable), copper (premium, develops patina, 50-plus year lifespan), galvanized steel (durable but heavier, can rust at cuts). Gutter guards reduce maintenance but aren't a replace-and-forget, since fine debris still accumulates and the guards themselves need periodic cleaning every 2-3 years. Cost variance comes from gutter size (5-inch K-style is standard; 6-inch handles bigger roofs and harder rains), material grade (aluminum cheapest, copper 5-10x more expensive but lasts 50-plus years), downspout count and size (we default to 3x4 downspouts placed where the roof valleys actually shed, not where the previous installer found a stud), gutter guard add-on (LeafFilter, Gutter Helmet, or basic mesh), and fascia repair if existing wood is rotted ($8-$15 per linear foot). Hidden hangers screwed into rafter tails on 24-inch spacing - gutters fail by pulling away from the fascia, almost always because the original installer used spike-and-ferrule into rotted wood.
