Gutter Costs: How Materials Vary in Price

Gutters are crucial to your roofing system, and replacing them when they’re starting to break down is key to preventing roofing repairs. As a homeowner, knowing the cost of new gutters is important to ensure you have enough budget for it. Typically, the price of gutters depends on the material, quality and several other factors.

Read on as Deschutes Roofing discusses how your choice of gutter materials can affect the cost of your project.

Galvanized Steel, Plastic and Vinyl Gutters

These materials are affordable and reliable. They are easy to find on the market and are a good choice for many homes. These gutter materials are also affordable, but they have some disadvantages. 

Plastic and vinyl gutters don’t perform well in areas with cold climates as they are susceptible to becoming brittle and cracking. That said, they’re best for areas that don’t experience rain often and have milder temperatures.

Galvanized steel is a bit pricier compared to plastic or vinyl, but it can withstand most climates. It is a good choice for a seamless gutter installation. However, it tends to rust over time, making gutter replacement necessary after some years.

Copper and Stainless Steel Gutters

These are the most expensive gutter materials on the market and also the best.

Stainless steel gutters are pricey, but they are an excellent choice since they are durable, resistant to oxidation, and can be painted for customization. The only notable disadvantage of this gutter material is that the paint needs maintenance from time to time.

Copper is currently the most expensive material and is typically used among high-end properties because of its appealing patina and incredible resistance to rust. Aside from its high cost, there aren’t many drawbacks to having copper gutters installed on your home.
