Footage and stories. Gutters are priced by the linear foot, and a two-story home costs more per foot than a ranch because of ladder time and staging. Walk-out basements on the west-side slopes put one eave a story higher than the other. The median Colorado Springs home was built in 1986 (ACS 2024 5-year), and many 1970s–90s subdivisions are simple rectangles with 120–200 feet of eave; newer east-side homes with multiple rooflines have more corners, and each corner is a mitered, sealed joint.
Material. Aluminum is the default, light, hail-dentable and available in dozens of baked-enamel colors. Steel costs a little more, resists dents better in hail, and is heavier on the hangers. Copper is a premium choice seen on older west-side and Manitou Springs homes and prices at two to three times aluminum. Material choice also affects warranty terms, so ask for the manufacturer’s finish warranty in writing.
Size and downspouts. Six-inch K-style adds about $3–$5 per foot and is paired with 3x4 downspouts. Where it pays is on large or steep roofs during the July–August storms, the two wettest months at the airport station (3.12 and 2.96 inches, NOAA 1991–2020 normals). Each added downspout is about $190, and each extension that carries water 5 feet from the foundation is $2–$17, small money against a heaved slab in expansive clay. The monsoon-season post covers when 6-inch is worth it.
Removal and fascia. Tearing off old gutters runs about $100 plus $1.30–$2.40 per foot. If the fascia board behind them is rotted or hail-split, repair or wrap is a separate line, usually priced per foot. Ask that it be itemized rather than folded into a lump sum.
Guards and heat cable. Guards add $6–$13 per foot for standard micro-mesh or screen and $15–$45 for premium branded systems. A heat cable system runs $900–$1,800 for a typical job, with hard-wired circuits installed by an electrician, plus electricity to run it in winter.
Season. After a major hail event, roofers and gutter crews book out for months; El Paso County issued about 34,000 re-roof permits in 2016 and more than 17,000 in 2023. Spring and fall quotes tend to come faster.
A local cross-check
National guides are the most transparent source, but it helps to see a Colorado Springs number. One Colorado Springs cost directory (April 2025) lists seamless aluminum at $5.80–$10.20 per foot installed: $580–$1,020 for 100 feet, $1,160–$2,030 for 200 feet and $1,740–$3,050 for 300 feet, excluding guards. That band sits inside the span of HomeAdvisor’s $4–$9 and Fixr’s $7–$13, and it is one directory’s estimate rather than a survey of local installers, so treat it as a sanity check for the quotes you receive, not a benchmark to negotiate against. A quote well below the band usually means thinner coil, wider hanger spacing or fewer downspouts, which is why the itemized quote matters more than the total.
Hail, insurance and gutters: information only
Many Colorado Springs gutter replacements happen alongside an insurance-funded re-roof after hail. Ask your insurer what your policy covers; nothing on this site predicts coverage, and Colorado Springs Gutter Installation does not get involved in claims. For information: Colorado’s roofing law (SB12-038, CRS 6-22-101 to -105) requires roofing contractors doing insurance-funded roof work to provide a written contract, lets you cancel within 72 hours after the insurer denies the claim in whole or part, and bans roofing contractors from paying, waiving or rebating deductibles. The law covers roofing contractors and “roofing work”; gutters are not named in it. When the gutters are on a re-roof, PPRBD requires a permit for more than 100 square feet and a D-1 licensed roofing contractor unless an owner-occupant does the work, so ask for the license number and the permit.

How much do seamless gutters cost per foot in Colorado Springs?
Seamless aluminum runs $4–$9 per linear foot in HomeAdvisor’s 2026 guide and $7–$13 in Fixr’s 2025 guide; one Colorado Springs cost directory (April 2025) lists $5.80–$10.20 installed, which puts a 200-foot home at about $1,160–$2,030 before guards or extra downspouts. Steel is $7–$12 per foot and copper $15–$32. These are estimates from published guides, not quotes, and hail-season demand can move local prices.
How much more do 6-inch gutters cost than 5-inch?
About $3–$5 more per linear foot (HomeAdvisor 2026). On a 200-foot home that is roughly $600–$1,000 extra, usually with 3x4 downspouts in place of 2x3. Six-inch gutters carry more water from large or steep roofs, which matters where July and August are the two wettest months and the rain comes as short afternoon storms. Ask each installer to size gutters and downspouts to your roof area rather than defaulting to 5-inch.
What does gutter guard installation cost?
Installed guards typically run $6–$13 per foot, about $9 on average (HomeAdvisor 2026); premium branded micro-mesh and reverse-curve systems run $15–$45 per foot. For 200 feet that is roughly $1,200–$2,600 for standard guards and several times that for premium systems. Prices usually include cleaning the gutters first. Guards on brand-new seamless gutters are often cheaper per foot than a retrofit. See the gutter guard page.
How much is it to add or replace a downspout?
About $190 each installed for a 12-foot painted aluminum downspout, or $7–$14 per foot (Fixr 2025). Extensions run $2–$17 each. Guides suggest roughly one downspout per 35 feet of gutter, and the Colorado Geological Survey recommends discharging water at least 5 feet from the foundation, so an extra downspout plus extensions is a common line item on Colorado Springs quotes. See downspouts and drainage.
What does gutter repair cost?
Typical repairs run $194–$643, about $400 on average (HomeAdvisor 2026), and resealing a single seam starts around $100. Two-story work costs more than one-story. Crushed sections from hail or sliding ice are usually replaced rather than straightened, and a sagging run is re-pitched and re-hung. If more than a few sections are damaged, ask for a replacement quote beside the repair quote; see gutter repair.
Will my insurance pay for new gutters after hail?
Ask your insurer what your policy covers; nobody on this site predicts coverage. For information only: Colorado’s roofing law (SB12-038, CRS 6-22-101 to -105) requires a written contract from roofing contractors on insurance-funded roof work, gives you 72 hours to cancel after a claim is denied, and bans deductible waivers. It covers roofing contractors; gutters are not named in it. This is general information, not legal advice.
