Gutter Installation Cost in Texas (2026)
Short answer: Gutter installation cost in Texas is usually $6 to $16 per linear foot installed, or about $1,200 to $3,500 for a typical home with 150 to 200 feet of seamless aluminum gutters [3][1].
Gutters are priced by the foot of roof edge, not by the size of your roof [2]. Texas storms dump a lot of water fast, and gutters that overflow can soak your fascia and the soil next to your foundation. This guide shows what Texas homeowners pay in 2026, using installer and cost-guide numbers we read ourselves.
Gutter installation cost breakdown
| Item | Typical cost |
|---|---|
| Seamless aluminum, per linear foot | $6–$13 in Houston and DFW [1]; $6–$16 statewide [3] |
| 5-inch seamless aluminum, per foot | $11–$12 installed with downspouts [2]; $6–$12 in Dallas (Angi data) [5] |
| 6-inch seamless aluminum, per foot | $13–$15.50 installed [2]; adds $1–$2 per foot over 5-inch (HomeGuide data) [5] |
| Typical home total (150–200 ft) | $1,200–$3,500 [3]; $1,000–$3,500 [1] |
| Copper or steel systems | $2,500–$6,000+ total [1] |
| Micro-mesh leaf guards, per foot | $13–$18 [2] |
Most published numbers land close together. Survey-based totals from national sites can run lower, and one Texas builder notes that Angi's Dallas average works out to under $6 a foot, which is too low to budget a whole house [5].
Cost by Texas city
| City | Per linear foot | Typical 150–200 ft |
|---|---|---|
| Dallas | $8–$16 [3]; $6–$13 [1] | $1,400–$3,200 [3] |
| Houston | $9–$16 [3]; $6–$13 [1] | $1,600–$3,200 [3] |
| Austin | $8–$15 [3]; $6.50–$16 regional [4] | $1,400–$3,000 [3] |
| San Antonio | $7–$14 [3]; $6.50–$16 regional [4] | $1,200–$2,800 [3] |
What raises the price
- Two stories or steep roofs. Height and pitch add labor and safety work [3].
- 6-inch gutters. Steep, metal or tile roofs shed more water and often need the bigger size [2].
- Extra downspouts. Homes in heavy-rain areas may need more of them [3].
- Rotted fascia. Damage found behind old gutters is a separate repair [2]. If hail hit the roof too, see our Texas hail damage claim guide.
Steps before you hire
- Measure the roof edge where water runs off. A single-story home is often 150 to 200 feet [2].
- Pick 5-inch or 6-inch seamless aluminum. Seamless costs a bit more but has fewer leak points [3].
- Get two or three written bids that list footage, size, downspouts, hangers and old-gutter removal.
- Ask how downspouts will move water away from the slab. Pooled water near the house can feed foundation problems.
- If you're replacing the roof soon, do gutters after. Compare with our roof replacement cost guide.
