New gutters are priced by the linear foot, not a flat number, so a fair cost estimate depends on knowing your home’s actual gutter run and which size and material fit it. Here’s what that looks like in 2026, with a size-based table so you can get in the right range before a contractor measures your roofline.
Cost Per Linear Foot by Material and Size
| Gutter Type | Cost Per Linear Ft Installed | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 5-inch aluminum K-style | $8.00 – $12.00 | Standard size, fits most homes |
| 6-inch aluminum K-style | $10.00 – $17.00 | Handles roughly 40% more water, recommended for larger or steeper roofs |
| Copper half-round | $21.00 – $35.00 | Premium option, 50-plus year lifespan, no painting required |
Total Cost by Home Size
Most single-story homes run 100 to 200 linear feet of gutters, roughly a tenth of the home’s square footage. Here’s what that translates to at standard aluminum pricing:
| Gutter Run | 5-Inch Aluminum | 6-Inch Aluminum |
|---|---|---|
| 100 linear ft | $800 – $1,200 | $1,000 – $1,700 |
| 150 linear ft | $1,200 – $1,800 | $1,500 – $2,550 |
| 200 linear ft | $1,600 – $2,400 | $2,000 – $3,400 |
| 250 linear ft | $2,000 – $3,000 | $2,500 – $4,250 |
Do You Need 5-Inch or 6-Inch Gutters?
Standard 5-inch K-style gutters handle most Scottsdale homes without issue. A 6-inch upgrade makes sense on larger roofs, steeper pitches, or homes that see heavy runoff during monsoon storms, since the larger channel carries meaningfully more water before it overflows.
What Else Affects the Final Price
- Old gutter removal. Replacing an existing system adds roughly $1.00 to $3.00 per linear foot for removal and disposal beyond a first-time installation.
- Fascia condition. Gutters hang from the fascia board, so rotted or water-damaged fascia needs repair first, which is a separate line item.
- Downspout count. Budget one downspout per 30 to 40 feet of gutter; too few leads to overflow regardless of gutter size.
- Story height. Two-story homes cost more to work on than single-story, purely from added labor and safety requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions About New Gutter Cost
How much do new gutters cost for a Scottsdale home?
Standard 5-inch aluminum gutters run $8.00 to $12.00 per linear foot installed. For a typical 150 to 200 linear foot home, that’s roughly $1,200 to $2,400 total.
Should I get 5-inch or 6-inch gutters?
5-inch handles most homes. 6-inch is worth the upgrade for larger or steeper roofs and homes that see heavy monsoon runoff, since it carries roughly 40% more water.
Does replacing old gutters cost more than a first-time install?
Yes, by roughly $1.00 to $3.00 per linear foot, since removing and disposing of the old system is an added labor step on top of the new installation.
How many linear feet of gutters does a typical home need?
Most single-story homes need 100 to 200 linear feet, roughly a tenth of the home’s total square footage, though roofline complexity can push that higher.
