| What's wrong | What we do | Austin range |
|---|---|---|
| Corner or end cap dripping | Clean to bare metal, polyurethane reseal | $150 – $250 |

The gutter repair page walks through each of these. Gutter repair Austin TX homeowners are quoted by phone from photos is common for corners and elbows; anything involving fascia gets a ladder look first.
Seamless installation: per foot and per house
Seamless .032 aluminum installed runs $9–$15 a foot here. The per-foot figure includes forming the runs on site, corners, end caps, hidden hangers, downspouts, haul-away of anything old, and a hose test. What moves it within that range is the gutter size, the downspout size and how many corners the roof has.
| Configuration | Per foot | Typical 1-story (160 ft, 4 downspouts) | Typical 2-story (220 ft, 6 downspouts) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5-inch, 2x3 downspouts (builder spec) | $9 – $12 | $1,500 – $2,000 | $2,100 – $2,800 |
| 5-inch, 3x4 downspouts (our standard) | $10 – $13 | $1,650 – $2,200 | $2,300 – $3,000 |
| 6-inch, 3x4 downspouts | $12 – $15 | $2,000 – $2,500 | $2,700 – $3,700 |
| Half-round aluminum | $14 – $22 | $2,300 – $3,500 | quoted |
| Copper | $35 – $55 | $5,600 – $8,800 | quoted |
A house that never had gutters is priced off the same table; there's simply no tear-off. Finishing a partial system, which on a Cedar Park or Round Rock two-story usually means adding the back and sides to match the builder's front runs, is typically 120–160 feet and $1,300–$2,300. Rain gutters Austin builders left off in the 1990s and 2000s are the single most common install we do, and the installation page explains how we size them.
Guards, cleaning and drainage
- Guards: aluminum screen $5–$9 per foot, stainless micro-mesh $10–$18, reverse-curve $18–$30. Roughly $900–$2,900 on a 160-foot house, and cheapest bundled with new gutters. Which type suits which trees is on the gutter guards page.
- Cleaning: single-story $120–$200, two-story $180–$300, by the house. The fee comes off any repair we find. See gutter cleaning.
- Drainage: rain barrel hookup with overflow $150–$350, rain chain with outlet and basin $150–$400, buried line to a pop-up emitter $250–$700 per downspout, more where the trench has to go through limestone. See rain barrels and drainage.
Seven things that move an Austin quote
- Height and slope. A second story adds 15–25% for the setup. A house on a Westlake or Lakeway hillside that's three stories on the downhill side is quoted after a look, and sometimes needs a lift.
- Corners. Every inside and outside corner is a hand-fitted miter. A twelve-corner hip roof in Steiner Ranch costs more per foot than a four-corner gable in Crestview.
- Metal roofing. Hanging lower and forward with 6-inch gutters adds a little per foot; skipping it produces a gutter the water sails over.
- Fascia. Soft boards at the corners are the usual surprise on 20-year-old gutters. We probe them before quoting so the number doesn't change on install day.
- Six-inch. About 20% over 5-inch, and the right call on two-story homes, metal roofs and valley runs.
- The ground. A buried drain through Blackland clay is a shovel job; the same line through limestone in Northwest Hills is a trenching job.
- Color. White, clay, brown and the usual trim shades are on the truck. A specialty color may add a week and a coil surcharge.
A worked example, Circle C
Two-story, 210 feet of gutter, hip roof with eight corners, five downspouts, one soft corner of fascia by the garage. Six-inch .032 aluminum with 3x4 downspouts at $14 a foot: $2,940. Ten feet of PVC fascia at $12: $120. Five rigid extensions at $40: $200. Call it $3,260, done in a day, the builder's front gutters hauled off. If another quote for that house comes in at $2,100, it's 5-inch .027 metal on spikes with 2x3 downspouts, which is what came off.
Before you sign anything
Any gutter estimate Austin contractors give you should be free, written, itemized and good for 30 days. Gauge, hanger type and spacing, downspout size and count, corner method, fascia per foot, haul-away and extensions should each be a line. A quote that's several hundred dollars under the others is almost always missing two of those lines rather than beating the others on price. How to read a gutter quote goes through it line by line, and what the price per foot buys explains the gauge and hanger side.

Is it cheaper to repair or replace gutters?
Repair, if the gutters are aluminum, under about 20 years old, and the problems are in a few spots. Replace if they're sectional, rusting steel, or more than a third needs work; patching adds up to a replacement without the warranty, and you'll be paying again after the next May storm.
Does homeowners insurance cover gutter damage in Austin?
For sudden damage from wind, hail or a fallen limb, usually; for age and wear, no. Most Texas policies carry a separate wind and hail deductible of 1–2% of the dwelling value, so a $600 gutter repair often falls under it. After a storm we document everything with photos and a written scope so you can decide whether to file.
How much are gutters for a 2,000 sq ft house in Austin?
Usually 150–180 linear feet, so $1,500–$2,400 for 5-inch seamless aluminum and $1,900–$2,700 for 6-inch, single-story. Add 15–25% for two stories and a line for fascia if any of it is soft. That's a typical range, not a quote for your house.
