How much do new gutters cost?

Yes. They cost about 20% more than sectional but eliminate the seams where nearly all leaks start.

Are gutter guards worth the money?

Micro-mesh guards at $10 to $25 per foot pay off if you have overhanging trees or a tall home. Otherwise twice-yearly cleaning at $100 to $250 is cheaper.

How long do gutters last?

Ten to fifteen years for vinyl, twenty to thirty for aluminum, and fifty or more for copper and zinc.

How many downspouts do I need?

One per 30 to 40 feet of gutter run, more on steep or large roof planes.
