Do you have gutters? Looking for an idea of what gutters and gutter covers will cost to put on your home? According to costhelper.com the average home has anywhere from 120 to 250 linear feet of eave, which is where your gutters go. It is very important to have a gutter system to collect water from your roof and divert away from your eave trim and foundation. Large sprawling ranch homes have more roof edges and therefore more feet of gutters than a two story or three story home. You have to factor in that with less gutters on a 2 or 3 story home, you would have more downspouts. On average you can expect to pay $4-$9 per linear foot for an open aluminum gutter system, plus about $5-$8 per foot for downspouts.
All American Exteriors will install Aluminum 5" Open Gutter Systems in the Metro Atlanta Area for approximately $3.75 per linear foot, for gutters and downspouts. 6" Aluminum Gutters Systems run approximately $4.50 per linear foot for gutters and downpouts. Of course their are extenuating circumstances where the cost of installed gutters can go up. These circumstances usually include the height of the home and how many corners or mitres that gutters include. On average a 120 linear feet of gutters would cost around $450 for the gutters and approximately $375 for about 4 two story downspouts, for a total of $825. A home that is a little larger with more gutter footage and less height for downspouts with an average of 250 linear feet of gutters and about 9 one story downspouts would be $937.50 for the gutters and $438.75 for a total of $1,376.25.
If you were to take these same 2 scenarios but with a 6" open aluminum gutters system the prices would look about like this:
6" 2 story home with open aluminum gutters would be approximately $540 for the gutters and $414 for the downspouts for a total of $954. The 6" ranch home would be about $1125 for the gutters and $526.50 for a total of $1651.50.
As you can see there is not a whole lot of difference between the 5" and 6" gutter cost. A 6" gutter system allows more water to flow into the gutters and keep water from filling the gutter system too quickly. 6" gutters are a good idea to use when you have a large roof where a lot of water can accumulate very quickly. Also water begins to flow very rapidly when the pitch of a roof is steep. This can cause gutters to overflow and cause damage to your eave trim. Do you keep your gutters clean flowing? Most homes have trees near or close by, which continually drop or blow leaves and debris into your gutters, creating clogs, leading to overflow in front, behind, and under your gutters.
There are lots of leaf-free systems which really do keep the leaves out, but they also forget to manage the water, which is the main reason you have gutters on your home! The water function design flaws don't materialize for a few years, after the damage has been done!
