Seamless aluminum is the standard ($6–$12/ft installed). Copper is premium ($25–$40/ft). Vinyl is cheapest ($3–$6/ft) but less durable.
Gutter guards add $7–$15 per linear foot but dramatically reduce cleaning frequency and prevent clogs that cause water damage.

Rotted or damaged fascia boards must be repaired before new gutters can be mounted, adding $5–$15 per linear foot.
