What to know about gutter installation

A gutter system is easy to ignore — until water is pouring off your roof, carving channels into your landscaping, and pooling against your foundation. A professional gutter installation sizes the system to your roof’s drainage area, pitches every run correctly toward the downspouts, and secures it with hangers that hold up to your local weather.

Most installers on Gutter Done offer seamless aluminum systems roll-formed on-site to the exact length of your roofline, in 5-inch and 6-inch K-style profiles. Half-round and copper options are available from many pros for historic or high-end homes.

What drives the price

  • Linear footage of gutter and number of downspouts
  • One story vs. two or three (ladder work adds labor)
  • Material: aluminum, steel, or copper
  • Gutter size: 5-inch vs. high-capacity 6-inch
  • Fascia or soffit repair discovered during tear-off
  • Bundling gutter guards with the new system
The process

How a gutter installation job works

What a professional installation visit looks like from first call to final cleanup.

  1. 01

    Measure & quote

    The pro measures every roofline, calculates drainage area, and recommends gutter size, downspout placement, and material.

  2. 02

    Tear-off & prep

    Old gutters come down and the fascia is inspected. Rotted boards are replaced so the new system has a solid mounting surface.

  3. 03

    Form & hang

    Seamless gutters are roll-formed on-site, pitched about ¼ inch per 10 feet, and secured with hidden hangers every two to three feet.

  4. 04

    Downspouts & cleanup

    Downspouts are routed away from the foundation, seams are sealed, and the crew hauls off the old system and debris.

FAQ

Gutter Installation FAQ

How much does gutter installation cost?

Most homeowners pay between $900 and $3,500 for a full gutter installation, or roughly $4 to $12 per linear foot for aluminum systems. Copper and steel systems cost more. Final pricing depends on linear footage, stories, roof complexity, and downspout count — always compare at least two or three free quotes.

How long does gutter installation take?

A typical single-family home takes one day. Seamless gutters are roll-formed on-site to the exact length of each roofline, so there is no waiting on prefab sections. Larger homes or multi-story jobs may take two days.

What size gutters do I need: 5-inch or 6-inch?

Five-inch K-style gutters handle most homes. Six-inch gutters move about 40% more water and are recommended for large or steep roofs, valleys that concentrate runoff, and regions with heavy downpours. A good installer will calculate drainage area before recommending a size.

Should I replace gutters when I replace my roof?

If your gutters are more than 15–20 years old, sagging, or rusting, replacing both together saves money — the roofer already has ladders and access set up, and new drip edge integrates cleanly with new gutters.

How do I choose a gutter installation company near me?

Verify licensing and insurance, check recent reviews, and ask what gauge aluminum they use (.027 or .032 is standard for quality work). Get the warranty in writing — reputable installers offer at least a 5-year workmanship warranty on top of manufacturer material warranties.
