Frequently Asked Questions
How much do gutters cost per linear foot?
Aluminum gutters cost $6 to $12 per linear foot installed. Seamless gutters run $8 to $15. Copper gutters cost $20 to $40 per linear foot.
Are seamless gutters worth the extra cost?
Yes. Seamless gutters have fewer leak points, require less maintenance, and last longer. The extra cost of 20-30% is worth it for most homeowners.
How often should gutters be cleaned?
Clean gutters at least twice a year: spring and fall. Homes near trees may need quarterly cleaning. Gutter guards reduce but do not eliminate cleaning needs.
Do gutter guards work?
Quality gutter guards reduce cleaning frequency by 80-90%. They keep out leaves and large debris but may still allow small particles through. They typically pay for themselves in 5 to 7 years.
How long do gutters last?
Aluminum gutters last 20 to 30 years. Steel gutters last 15 to 20 years. Copper gutters can last 50+ years. Proper maintenance extends lifespan significantly.
