Spring is just around the corner, and soon the weather is going to warm up! Spring is the perfect time to enjoy your outdoor living space, but it also means it’s time to inspect your home for damage from inclement winter weather.

What shape are your gutters in? Do you need to replace them? If so, one of the first questions you’ll probably want answers for is “how much does it cost to install new gutters?”

What Affects the Cost of Gutter Installation?

There are a few different factors that will determine the cost of your gutter installation project. These include:

  • Type of gutter: What type of gutter are you installing? Seamless gutters are more expensive than sectional gutters—but also much more reliable. Also, half round gutters tend to be a bit more costly than K-style.

  • Gutter material: What is the material of the gutters you’re installing? Vinyl and aluminum tend to be some of the most affordable choices. Copper is a little more expensive, but many people find the aesthetics of copper gutters appealing—they are unique and can develop a beautiful patina over time.

  • Size of your home: The scope of your project will also determine the overall cost of installing new gutters. Smaller homes—such as townhouses—require fewer feet of gutters (less material). This can cut down on your project cost.
