What is a Gutter Replacement Estimate
A Gutter Replacement Estimate is a written quote that lists the work and the price before you approve the job. A clear estimate should include:
- Exact linear footage to be replaced
- Material type and thickness, for example 0.027 or 0.032 aluminum
- Number and size of downspouts, end caps, miters, and outlets
- Labor, removal of old gutters, and disposal fees
- Cleanup and magnetic sweep policy for nails and screws
- Project timeline and start window
- Written warranty for materials and workmanship
If any of these items are missing, ask for a revised Gutter Replacement Estimate before you sign.
Average Cost in Land O’ Lakes, FL
Prices vary by home size, roof layout, and material. A typical Gutter Replacement Estimate for seamless aluminum in Florida ranges from $8 to $15 per linear foot. Many 1,500 sq ft homes land between $1,000 and $2,400 all in. Factors that raise or lower your estimate include:
- Two story access and steep roofs
- Copper or steel instead of aluminum
- Complex corners and valleys
- Adding gutter guards or screens
- Fascia repairs and wood rot
Compare each Gutter Replacement Estimate using the same material and scope to avoid confusion.
What should be included line by line

- Sealant specification for miters and outlets
- Removal and disposal of existing gutters
- Daily and final cleanup steps

Red flags to avoid

Repair first or replace now
Not every system needs a full replacement. If your gutters only sag in short runs, or leak at one or two joints, start with a repair visit. Review scope and pricing on our Gutter Repair page. If the metal is thin, dented, or corroded in many sections, a full Gutter Replacement Estimate will save repeat service calls.
Cleaning and care after installation
Even new gutters need maintenance. Schedule two cleanings per year and a quick inspection after heavy storms. Learn best practices on our Gutter Maintenance page. Routine care protects your investment and keeps any workmanship warranty valid.
How to compare quotes the smart way
Use this simple method to compare each Gutter Replacement Estimate fairly:
- Match material, thickness, and color across all quotes
- Confirm removal of old gutters is included
- Ask for proof of insurance and workers’ comp
- Request photos or references from recent local jobs
- Read warranty terms for materials and labor
You can also review a national cost overview from Angi’s cost guide to see broader ranges, then use a local Gutter Replacement Estimate for final decisions.
Timeline and scheduling
Most homes take one working day for a full replacement. Weather can shift the schedule by a day. A professional Gutter Replacement Estimate includes a start window and a plan for weather delays. Ask for a confirmation call the day before, and a final walk through upon completion.

FAQs
How long does gutter replacement take
Most standard homes are completed in one day. Large homes or complex roofs may need a second visit.
What size gutters should I choose
Five inch is common, but six inch handles heavy Florida rain better on steep or long roof runs.
Are seamless gutters worth it
Yes. Seamless gutters reduce joints, which lowers leak risk and maintenance over time.
What warranty should be on my estimate
Look for at least 20 years on materials and 3 to 5 years on workmanship, in writing.
Can I get financing or phased work
Many homeowners split projects by elevation. Ask for a phased Gutter Replacement Estimate if needed.
How do I avoid surprise costs
Insist on a written, itemized Gutter Replacement Estimate that includes removal, disposal, and cleanup.
