Seamless Gutter Cost Per Foot: Installed Prices in Central Arkansas

Installed seamless gutters from Patriot Roofing and Restoration cost $15 per foot for 5 inch and $17 per foot for 6 inch. Downspouts are priced by the foot at the same rate, second-story gutters and downspouts add $2 a foot, and removing and hauling away your old gutters is included. Once the downspouts are counted, a one-story home with 150 feet of gutter comes to about $3,500 for 5 inch or about $3,900 for 6 inch, which works out to roughly $23 to $26 for each foot of roof edge. These are the same prices we publish on our gutter cost calculator, and your written price is confirmed once we measure your home.

Why the price per foot is not the whole price

When people search for gutter cost per foot, they usually multiply that number by the length of their roofline and expect the total. That leaves out two things.

• Downspouts. Downspouts are gutter material too, so they are counted by the foot. Our calculator figures one downspout for every 25 feet of gutter on each story, rounded up, and counts about 12 feet of downspout for each one on a one-story wall and about 24 feet on a two-story wall. A 150-foot one-story job gets six downspouts, which adds about 72 feet of material.
• Fitting allowance. The calculator adds a small allowance for cutting and fitting at corners and ends, then rounds the total up to the next $100.

That is why 150 feet times $17 is $2,550 on paper but about $3,900 as an installed estimate. The useful number when you compare quotes is the installed total, or the total divided by your feet of roof edge.

What seamless gutters cost on a real house

Here is what the calculator shows for common Central Arkansas homes, with downspouts at one per 25 feet and old gutter removal included.

Home	5 inch	6 inch
One story, 100 feet of gutter	about $2,300	about $2,600
One story, 150 feet of gutter	about $3,500	about $3,900
One story, 200 feet of gutter	about $4,600	about $5,200
Two story, 100 feet on each story	about $5,700	about $6,400

On one-story homes that comes to about $23 per foot of roof edge for 5 inch and about $26 for 6 inch. On the two-story example it is about $29 and $32 a foot, because the second-story downspouts are twice as long and every foot up there carries the $2 height charge. To see your own number, enter your first-story and second-story footage in the gutter cost calculator. It shows the total and a monthly payment.

5 inch or 6 inch: is the bigger gutter worth it?

We recommend 6 inch for most homes. A 6 inch gutter with larger downspouts carries more water, which matters in a hard Central Arkansas downpour and on bigger or steeper roofs where a lot of water reaches the gutter at once. On the 150-foot one-story home above, the step up from 5 inch to 6 inch is about $400.

5 inch still has a place. On a small, low-slope roof with short runs, a 5 inch gutter can handle the water and keeps the price down. Your Patriot specialist looks at the roof area and pitch draining into each run and recommends a size; we install both.

What else moves the price

• Feet of gutter. The biggest factor. Count every roof edge that has, or needs, a gutter, and count the first story and second story separately.
• Height. Gutters and downspouts on the second story add $2 a foot, and their downspouts are longer.
• Number of downspouts and corners. A house with many bump-outs and short runs needs more corners and downspouts than a plain rectangle with the same footage. We count them at your visit.
• Rotted fascia. Gutters hang on the fascia board, so a soft or rotted board has to be dealt with before a new gutter goes up. When we find rot during an install, it is photographed and priced as a written change order that you approve before any work starts. Our preference, when fascia is being replaced, is to wrap it in color-matched metal rather than paint it, because metal lasts longer behind a gutter and does not need repainting. More on that in our fascia board guide.
• Gutter guards. If you add guards, they are priced by the foot on top of the gutter. Our post on what gutter guards cost has the prices for all three guards and real-home totals with new gutters.

What does not change the price: removing and hauling away your old gutters. That is part of the installed price, not an add-on.

What you get for the price

Our Sentry system is 5 or 6 inch seamless aluminum. We form it in your driveway to the exact length of each run, so the only joints are at the corners. Fewer joints means fewer places to leak and less water against your fascia, siding and foundation. Each run is hung on hidden hangers, set to the proper pitch so water moves to the downspouts, and color-matched to your home.

Every Sentry seamless gutter installation comes with:

• 5-year Patriot Built Right Guarantee: excluding acts of God and maintenance issues, if your gutter system has a workmanship problem, we make the repair at no charge for the term in your agreement.
• 100% Satisfaction Guarantee: if you are not 100% satisfied with a gutter system we install, we will remove it and return 100% of your investment.
• Apples-to-Apples Guarantee: if you later find a truly comparable seamless gutter system for less, we pay the difference plus a $50 bonus.

The full wording of each guarantee is on our guarantees page. Financing is available with approved credit.

Replace, repair or just clean?

Not every gutter problem needs a new system. A leaking corner or a section pulled loose by a falling limb can often be repaired, and gutter repair carries a 365-Day Patriot Built Right Guarantee. Gutters that only overflow because they are full need cleaning, not replacing; the Patriot Care Club ($14.95 a month) includes gutter cleaning at 50% off for up to 150 feet a year, along with a yearly 21-Point Roof Checkup with photos.

Replacement makes sense when the problems are spread along the whole system: sagging runs, seams leaking in several places, rust or rot behind the gutter, or water pooling at the foundation after every rain. Water that pools there does more damage than the gutters cost to fix, as our post on gutters and foundation damage in Arkansas clay soil explains.

How to compare seamless gutter quotes

A low price per foot can hide a higher total. Ask every installer the same questions:

• Is the price per foot installed, and does it include downspouts, or are those extra?
• Are second-story runs priced higher, and by how much?
• Is removing and hauling away the old gutters included?
• Is it 5 inch or 6 inch, and why that size for my roof?
• Is the gutter formed on site in one piece per run, or joined in sections?
• What hangers are used, and how far apart?
• If the fascia is rotted, how is that handled and priced?
• What is the installer's own guarantee, how long does it last, and is it in writing?

You can see the full system on our seamless gutters page.

Frequently asked questions

How much do seamless gutters cost per foot?

From Patriot Roofing and Restoration, installed: $15 a foot for 5 inch and $17 a foot for 6 inch, with downspouts at the same rate and $2 a foot added on the second story. Counting downspouts, most one-story homes come to about $23 to $26 per foot of roof edge.

Are downspouts included in the price per foot?

Downspouts are priced by the foot at the gutter rate, so they add to the total. The calculator counts one downspout for every 25 feet of gutter and includes them in its estimate.

Does the price include taking off my old gutters?

Yes. Removing and hauling away your old gutters is included in the installed price.

Do second-story gutters cost more?

Yes. Gutters and downspouts on the second story add $2 a foot, and second-story downspouts are longer, so a two-story home costs more per foot of roof edge than a one-story home.

How accurate is the online price?

It is an estimate. Your price depends on the exact footage, the number of corners and downspouts and the height of each run, which we measure at your visit before giving you a written price.
