Two homes with the same interior square footage can have very different roof edges. A simple rectangular ranch may need much less gutter than a house with additions, porches or multiple roof sections.
Planning examples at $12–$15/LF
| Approx. gutter footage | Planning range |
|---|---|
| 80 LF | $960–$1,200* |
| 100 LF | $1,200–$1,500* |
| 120 LF | $1,440–$1,800 |
| 140 LF | $1,680–$2,100 |
*A standalone minimum can apply to smaller installations. Gutters Only currently uses approximately $1,250 as a starting minimum for many standalone installations, with the final number depending on height, downspouts and difficulty.
Why two 1,000-square-foot homes can price differently
A compact rectangular ranch may have only two long gutter runs. A home with a porch, rear addition or several intersecting roof sections can have more eave length, more corners and more downspouts even though the interior square footage is identical.
What else changes the budget?
- One story versus multiple stories
- 5-inch versus 6-inch gutters
- Number of downspouts
- Old-gutter removal
- Fascia repairs
- Guards or drainage extensions
Measure the roof edge, not the living area
For a useful quote, measure or inspect the actual roofline and identify which eaves require gutters, then account for downspouts, corners, height and access.
