How Much Do Seamless Gutters Cost in the Quad Cities? (2026 Pricing Guide)

It's the first question almost every homeowner asks: what will new gutters actually cost? The honest answer is that it depends on your home, but that doesn't mean you have to fly blind. Below is a realistic 2026 pricing guide for seamless gutter installation in the Quad Cities, including the per-foot ranges we actually see across Davenport, Bettendorf, Moline, and the surrounding towns, and the factors that move the number up or down.

The short answer: $6-$12 per linear foot installed

For most Quad Cities homes, seamless aluminum gutters run between $6 and $12 per linear foot installed. A typical single-story home needs somewhere around 150-200 linear feet of gutter, while larger two-story homes can need 200-300 feet or more once you count every roofline and downspout run. That puts a common project somewhere in the low four figures, but the only way to know your number is a free, written on-site estimate.

What drives the price up or down

Linear footage and home size

The biggest factor is simply how much gutter your roof needs. More rooflines, more corners, and more downspout runs all add material and labor. A compact ranch costs far less to outfit than a sprawling two-story with multiple gables.

Gutter size and material

Standard 5-inch aluminum covers most homes, but larger roofs or steep pitches that dump a lot of water fast may need 6-inch oversized gutters and bigger downspouts to keep up with a Quad Cities downpour. Specialty materials like copper cost several times more but are unmatched for a historic home's look.

Height and accessibility

A two- or three-story home, a steep roof, or tricky access all add time and safety equipment, which nudges the price up. Single-story homes with clear access sit at the lower end.

Downspouts, corners, and add-ons

The number and size of downspouts, mitered corners, and extras like underground drainage or gutter guards all factor in. Guards are a popular add-on because they dramatically cut future cleaning costs and labor.

Tear-off and repairs

Removing and hauling away old gutters adds a bit, and if there's rotted fascia or soffit behind the old system, that repair work is best handled before new gutters go up.

Why seamless is worth it over sectional

You can buy cheaper sectional gutters at a big-box store, but they're pieced together from short lengths with a joint every few feet, and every joint is a future leak. Seamless aluminum gutters are formed on-site from a single continuous coil, cut to the exact length of each run. Fewer seams means fewer leaks, less sagging, and a cleaner look. Over the life of the gutters, seamless almost always costs less in repairs and headaches.

How to get an accurate quote

Beware of anyone who quotes a firm price over the phone without seeing your home, there are too many variables. A good estimate starts with a look at your rooflines, measurements of your footage, a count of downspouts and corners, and a conversation about color and any guards or repairs. Reputable Quad Cities installers, including us, provide that in writing at no charge and with no pressure.

Ways to get the most value (without cutting corners)

The cheapest quote is rarely the best value on gutters, but there are smart ways to keep costs reasonable. Bundling gutter guards into the same job as a new installation usually costs less than adding them later, since the crew is already set up on your home. Handling any fascia or soffit repairs at the same time avoids a second mobilization. And scheduling in the off-peak stretches, rather than the fall rush, when every QC installer is booked, can mean shorter lead times. What you should never trim is proper pitch, adequate hangers, and correctly sized downspouts; skimping there is what leads to the overflow and sagging that sends people shopping for gutters in the first place.

When repair is the smarter spend

New gutters aren't always the answer. If your current system is only a few years old and the trouble is localized, a sagging run, a leaky corner, one bad downspout, a targeted repair costs a fraction of replacement. Not sure which camp you're in? Our guide to the signs your gutters need repair or replacement walks through how to tell.
