How much should I pay for a set of garage gutters?

June 20, 2020 11:17 AM

Hi folks. My garage has a pair of gutters on it, with one downspout per gutter. Each gutter is about 20 feet long. The two gutters are both in pretty rough shape and I should get them replaced. Assuming I just want standard gutters with screens over them and new downspouts, how much should that cost, roughly? I would have them installed professionally—I wouldn’t be doing it. Anything I should know? This is in Wisconsin.

Garage probably has easy access to street.
Two guys, gutter machine, van, 4 hour job: measure, tearout, manufacture, install.
I'd be surprised if it was less than a thousand or over two thousand.

COVID could work two ways: hungry for work or so busy they can't care.
See who's willing to show up: Get three bids, if you can.

I just had the gutters replaced on my smallish house with seamless aluminum gutters. I paid about $8.50/ft for the gutters and downspouts with professional install but no leaf guards. I also tore out the old gutters myself. I had about 2.5x the total amount you do and it was a half day job for a crew of 4. I'm in the southwest.

I got a gutter and downspout installed on 2 roof sections that were missing them a few years ago. I think it cost me $300 or so total, a lot less than I expected.

I'm getting a twelvish foot horizontal section, plus two tennis foot vertical sections replaced for about $400.

Contractor told me that gutters are $1.10/foot but then knocked it down to like 85 cents. (This is a siding job in New England where he brings in A Gutter Guy.)

On a small project the per-foot price goes up, just to make the project worthwhile, I believe.

Shoot, I think I am off by a factor of ten!!!

It was just over a thousand bucks for 151 feet.

Response by poster: I found someone to do it for $450. I had another quote of $470 and a third one of $825.
