What drives the price
- Material. Vinyl and aluminum are the budget choices; This Old House puts them at $4 to $12 a linear foot. Steel and copper cost more.
- Length. Bob Vila's rule: roof square footage divided by 10 gives the linear feet.
- Seamless or sectional. Seamless gutters are made on site and leak less.
- Height. Two- and three-story homes need more setup.
