Your gutters perform an integral function of moving rain and melt water away from the foundation of your house. If your gutters are damaged, clogged, or otherwise failing, you could be putting the stability of your home at risk.

Gutter replacement can be a costly investment upfront, but by avoiding bigger structural issues down the line, you’re ultimately saving money. 

The price of gutter replacement depends on many factors, including the material you choose, the size of your home, and the laborers you hire. The most commonly chosen materials, aluminum or steel, can cost $4-$10 per linear foot. For an average house requiring about 150-200 feet of gutters, this can total about $1,300. 

If you choose to go with the more economical option, vinyl gutters, this will bring your price down to about $3-$6 per linear foot. The total for this project would be closer to $650.

On the other hand, if you went for the most expensive material, you would be choosing copper gutters for about $20 per linear foot. Keep in mind that this option is more durable and requires fewer repairs over time.
