In Florida, the cost of installing gutters can vary significantly based on several factors. On average, the cost ranges from $7.50 to $28 per linear foot, depending on the material and complexity of the installation. For example, aluminum gutters typically cost between $7.50 and $9.00 per linear foot, while copper gutters can range from $23 to $28 per linear foot. Understanding these costs is crucial for construction professionals aiming to provide accurate estimates and avoid overestimating expenses.
• Aluminum: Popular for its affordability and resistance to corrosion.
• Seamless Aluminum: Custom-rolled on-site, adding 10-15% to the cost.
• Galvanized Steel: Strong but prone to rust, costing 20% more than aluminum.
• Copper: Premium choice, costing 3-4 times more than aluminum.
Typical residential roofs in Florida require 150-220 linear feet of gutters. K-style 5-inch profiles are standard, with 6-inch profiles adding about 15% to the cost.
Two-story installations incur a 12-18% labor premium due to additional safety measures and time.
Replacing damaged fascia can add $3-$8 per linear foot to the project cost.
• Gutter guards: $5-$7 per linear foot.
• Reinforced hangers: 5% material upcharge.
• Downspout extensions: $40-$120 each.
• Basic 5-inch aluminum, single story: $7.50 – $9.00 per linear foot installed.
• Seamless 6-inch aluminum, double story: $10.50 – $12.50 per linear foot installed.
• Copper upgrade, single story: $23 – $28 per linear foot installed.
For a 180-foot single-story home with 5-inch seamless aluminum, expect costs between $1,500 and $1,700, including downspouts and standard hardware.
