When it comes to protecting your home from water damage, gutter installation the cost of installing a quality gutter system is absolutely worth it! A primary element in your home’s water management system, gutters bear the responsibility of collecting roof water and directing it away from your home’s foundation. Without gutters, water would cascade down the side of your home, pool around and eventually drain into the ground below, potentially causing severe damage to fascia boards, siding, foundation walls, and your basement or crawl space.


Because of the key role that gutters play in protecting your home, it’s important to invest in a quality system and keep them well maintained. Gutter maintenance includes cleaning and replacing them when necessary.

  • Number of Corners: Corners require a special piece of gutter. Because of this, the number of corners will affect gutter installation cost. 
  • Number of Downspouts: This goes along with home size—the more gutter footage, the more downspouts you’ll need. 
  • Gutter Color: Custom gutter colors may increase your gutter installation cost.  
  • Material: Certain gutter materials are less expensive than others. However, the cheaper gutter materials often have major downfalls—for example, galvanized steel gutters, which were popular in the ‘70’s and ‘80’s, will rust. 
  • Number of stories: Some gutter installations companies include charges for multiple story homes. 

Additional Gutter Enhancements and Maintenance

  • Gutter Guards: Gutter guards prevent gutters from clogging and becoming damaged by debris. You can read more about the importance of gutter protection on our gutter guard page. 
  • Downspout Extensions: Downspout extensions are often necessary for diverting water where it will naturally drain away from the home. 
  • Cleaning: Without the use of a proper gutter protection system, you’ll need to pay for regular gutter cleaning and maintenance. 
  • Replacement: Low-quality gutters and gutters without gutter protection systems will need to be replaced more frequently.
