Gutter Installation by Type of Work
Seamless aluminum K-style gutters
Aluminum gutters run about $10 to $20 a foot and last 20 to 30 years. Seamless gutters cost $3 to $5 or more a foot above sectional ones, and with no joints along the run there are fewer places to leak. HomeGuide figures roughly a foot of gutter for every 10 square feet of house, so a 2,000 square foot home has about 180 feet. A rotted fascia has to be fixed before new gutters go up; see soffit and fascia repair.
| Gutter material | Per linear foot, installed | Typical life |
|---|---|---|
| Aluminum | $10 to $20 | 20 to 30 years |
| Vinyl / PVC | $8 to $12 | 10 to 20 years |
| Copper | $25 to $40 | 50 to 100 years |
Downspouts and drainage
Broward's HVHZ roofing code carries over one drainage rule from the general roofing chapter, and it's about where the water lands. Downspouts must discharge at least 1 foot from the wall, through underground pipe, a tail extension or a splash block. Gutters with downspouts are required on any building whose eaves overhang less than 6 inches, except at gable rakes or on a roof above another roof. Guides price downspouts at $30 to $75 each and splash blocks or extensions at $10 to $50 per downspout.
Gutter guards
Professionally installed guards run $15 to $45 a foot, or $3,000 to $9,000 for 200 feet. The type decides how long they last:
- Micro-mesh, which HomeGuide rates for warmer climates and small debris: 3 to 10+ years
- Reverse-curve (surface tension) covers: 10 to 20+ years
- Perforated aluminum: 10 to 20+ years
- Foam inserts: 2 to 5 years
Gutter repair and re-pitching
Leaking seams, loose hangers and sections that hold standing water are repairs, typically $100 to $450. When gutters are past 20 years old or have problems along several runs, HomeGuide finds replacement often costs less over time than repeated patching.

The list says repair or replacement. For gutters on a house that never had them, or a job that also touches the roof, ask Building Services which permit applies.
