If your gutters are pulling away from the fascia, leaking at every seam, or overflowing in a hard rain, replacement is often smarter than one more patch. The first question most St. Louis homeowners ask is simple: what will it cost? Here is a straight answer for 2026, along with the factors that move your number up or down.
What gutter replacement costs in St. Louis
Most homes in the St. Louis metro run 100 to 250 linear feet of gutter. For seamless aluminum, the most popular choice, expect roughly $8 to $15 per linear foot installed, which puts a typical full replacement in the range of $1,200 to $3,300. Larger homes, steep pitches, and complex rooflines land at the higher end. Premium materials change the math: copper gutters run $25 to $50 per linear foot and last for decades, while aluminum and half-round options each carry a different look and price.
What drives your price
Four things move a quote most: total footage, material, number of stories, and roofline complexity. A two-story home adds a dollar or two per foot for access and safety. Removing and hauling away old gutters adds a small per-foot charge. And because sagging gutters often damage the wood behind them, some jobs include fascia repair, which commonly runs $400 to $800. Sizing matters too. Stepping up from 5-inch to 6-inch gutters costs a little more per foot but carries about 40 percent more water, which pays off on large or steep roofs. Our guide to the difference between 5-inch and 6-inch gutters breaks that down.
Repair, replace, or upgrade
Not every problem calls for a full replacement. If the runs are sound and the issue is isolated, gutter repair may be all you need. When you do replace, seamless gutters cost a bit more upfront than sectional but leak far less over their life. Own commercial property?
