The average gutter installation costs $800 to $6,000 or $4 to $30 per linear foot. The U.S. national average is closer to $2,300 but varies based on gutter material. Vinyl gutters cost as little as $4 per linear foot, while high-end copper is priced as high as $30 per linear foot.

They ensure water properly drains off of your roof, helping to protect the roof, siding, landscaping, and foundation from water damage. On average, gutters need to be replaced every 20 years. However, they can last longer if you care for them properly.
