How much does gutter installation cost?

Professional gutter installation typically costs $6-15 per linear foot for seamless aluminum gutters, or $1,500-$3,500 for an average home (150-200 linear feet). Factors affecting cost include: home size, gutter material (aluminum, steel, copper), number of stories, roof complexity, and number of downspouts. Premium materials like copper can cost $25-50 per foot. We provide free estimates with transparent, upfront pricing.

How long does gutter installation take?

Most residential gutter installations are completed in one day (4-8 hours) for average-sized homes. Larger homes or complex roof designs may require 1-2 days. Our seamless gutters are fabricated on-site, eliminating wait times for custom manufacturing. We schedule installations to minimize disruption to your daily routine.

What is the best type of gutter to install?

Seamless aluminum gutters are the best choice for most homes. They offer: no leak points along the length, 20-30 year lifespan, rust resistance, 25+ color options, and excellent value. For luxury homes, copper gutters provide a 50-100 year lifespan but cost 3-4x more. Steel gutters are best for areas with heavy snow loads. We help you choose the right material for your specific needs and budget.

Should I repair or replace my gutters?

Replace gutters if you have: multiple leaks or holes, significant rust or corrosion, sections pulling away from fascia, gutters over 20 years old, frequent clogs despite cleaning, or water damage to your home. Repair is appropriate for: isolated leaks, loose hangers, minor dents, or simple resealing. If repairs exceed 30% of replacement cost, new installation is more economical.

Do you offer a warranty on gutter installation?

Yes, we provide a comprehensive lifetime workmanship warranty on all gutter installations. This covers any installation defects for as long as you own your home. Additionally, materials carry manufacturer warranties: aluminum gutters (20-25 years), copper gutters (50+ years), and steel gutters (15-20 years). Our warranty is transferable if you sell your home.

What size gutters do I need?

Gutter size depends on roof area and local rainfall: 5-inch gutters are standard for most homes with up to 5,500 sq ft of roof drainage area. 6-inch gutters are recommended for larger homes, steep roofs, or areas with heavy rainfall. We calculate the exact size needed based on your roof's square footage, pitch, and local precipitation data to ensure adequate water handling capacity.

Can gutters be installed in winter?

Yes, gutters can be installed year-round in most of California. We avoid installation during active rain or extreme cold (below 40°F) as sealants need proper curing temperatures. Winter is actually an excellent time for gutter installation as you can prepare for the rainy season. We monitor weather conditions and schedule installations accordingly.

What is Professional Gutter Installation?

Gutter installation is the process of mounting a water drainage system along your roof's edge to collect rainwater and direct it away from your home's foundation. Professional gutter installation involves custom-measuring your home, fabricating seamless gutters on-site, and mounting them with proper slope to ensure optimal water flow.

Unlike DIY or sectional gutters from hardware stores, professional seamless gutter installation creates continuous gutters with no joints along the length—dramatically reducing leak points and improving both performance and appearance.
