Reviewed by the Gutter Installers San Antonio teamUpdated
Gutter replacement in San Antonio typically costs $1,300–$2,600 for a single-story home in 5-inch seamless aluminum and $2,000–$4,000 for a two-story home. That covers new gutters at $7–$15 per linear foot plus removal and haul-off of the old system at $1–$2 per foot. Replacement makes sense when leaks, sagging or overflow are widespread rather than isolated.

| Removal & haul-off | $1–$2 per linear foot |

Gutter replacement means removing an entire existing gutter system, or all the runs on one side of a house, and installing new gutters and downspouts in their place. It is different from repair, which fixes isolated problems. In San Antonio we most often replace aging sectional gutters, brittle vinyl, hail-damaged systems, and 5-inch gutters that simply can’t keep up with the roof above them.
How much does gutter replacement cost in San Antonio?
Replacing gutters on a typical San Antonio home costs $1,300–$2,600 for a single-story house of about 2,000 sq ft in 5-inch seamless aluminum, and $2,000–$4,000 for a two-story home. Upgrading to 6-inch, adding downspouts or replacing fascia raises the total.
| Item | Typical price |
|---|---|
| Old gutter removal and haul-off | $1–$2 per lf |
| New 5″ seamless aluminum K-style | $7–$12 per lf |
| New 6″ seamless aluminum K-style | $9–$15 per lf |
| New downspouts | $8–$14 per lf |
| Fascia board replacement (if needed) | About $8–$20 per lf; typical job $250–$1,200 |
| Single-story, ~2,000 sq ft (≈150–180 lf), 5″ | $1,300–$2,600 |
| Two-story, ~2,500 sq ft (≈200–250 lf) | $2,000–$4,000 |
These are typical installed estimates and vary by home. For more detail on what moves the price, see our San Antonio gutter cost guide.
When should you replace gutters instead of repairing them?
Replace your gutters when problems are spread across the system rather than in one or two spots. If you are paying for repairs every season, the gutters are undersized for the roof, or the material itself is failing, replacement is usually the better value.
- Leaks at many joints, especially on older sectional gutters
- Sagging or pulled-away runs on several sides of the house
- Rust, holes or flaking finish on old steel gutters
- Cracked, faded or warped vinyl
- Regular overflow in normal storms even when the gutters are clean
- Split seams and widespread dents after hail
- Repair estimates approaching the price of new gutters
If the problem is limited to a corner, a downspout or a single sagging section, gutter repair typically costs $150–$650 and is the smarter call. We will tell you which way we would go and price both when it’s close.
If more than about a third of your gutter runs need work, or repairs on one side approach half the cost of new gutters for that side, replacement usually wins. You get a clean system with one workmanship warranty instead of a patchwork of old and new.
Should you upgrade to 6-inch gutters when replacing?
Often, yes. Replacement is the best time to fix a sizing problem, and many San Antonio homes built with 5-inch gutters overflow at valleys and inside corners during heavy storms. Six-inch gutters with 3x4 downspouts carry noticeably more water for roughly $2–$3 more per foot.
We look at roof area, pitch, valleys and tree cover before recommending a size. A single-story ranch with a simple roof may be well served by new 5-inch gutters; a two-story home in Stone Oak or a heavily shaded lot in Alamo Heights is a strong 6-inch candidate. See 5-inch vs 6-inch gutters for the details.
Replacing old sectional or vinyl gutters
Old sectional and vinyl gutters are the two systems we replace most. Sectional gutters leak at their many splices as sealant ages, and vinyl becomes brittle and warps under South Texas sun and heat.
We replace both with seamless aluminum gutters formed on-site, which have joints only at corners and end caps. For historic homes, we can replace with half-round aluminum ($14–$22/lf) or copper ($28–$45/lf), both of which suit older architecture. Our seamless vs sectional comparison explains why the difference matters.
How do you know if your gutters are undersized?
Gutters are undersized if they overflow during ordinary storms even when they are clean and properly pitched. The most common spots are inside corners and the ends of runs below roof valleys, where water from two roof planes converges.
Other clues include water sheeting over the front edge in the first few minutes of a downpour, erosion trenches below a single corner, and downspouts that gurgle and back up. Undersizing is common on homes with large hip roofs, where the roof area draining to each corner is bigger than it looks from the ground. Replacing with 6-inch gutters, adding downspouts, or both usually solves it.
Which materials should you choose for replacement gutters?
For most San Antonio homes, seamless .032-gauge aluminum is the best replacement material: rust-free, available in many colors, and formed on-site to fit. Steel or Galvalume ($12–$20/lf) is an option for homes with repeated hail damage.
We do not recommend replacing failing gutters with vinyl. It is inexpensive at the store but tends to warp, fade and crack in Texas heat, which is usually why it is being replaced in the first place.
What does removal and haul-off include?
Removal and haul-off, typically $1–$2 per linear foot, includes taking down the old gutters, downspouts, hangers and straps, pulling old spikes from the fascia, and hauling everything away. Nothing is left in your yard or bin.
Removal is also when hidden problems show up. With the old gutters down we can see the fascia, drip edge and roof edge clearly. Rotted fascia is common on older San Antonio homes where gutters leaked for years, and it needs to be replaced before new gutters are hung. That work runs about $8–$20 per linear foot; see fascia and soffit repair.
Should you replace gutters at the same time as a new roof?
If your gutters are near the end of their life and a roof replacement is planned, doing both together usually makes sense. Roofers often have to remove or work around gutters to install new drip edge, and old gutters rarely go back up as straight as they came down.
The best sequence is roof first, then gutters, so the new gutters are hung under finished drip edge and any kick-out flashing at wall intersections is already in place. If your gutters are in good condition, they can often be carefully taken down and rehung instead. Either way, coordinating the two trades avoids paying to hang gutters twice and gives you one clean, watertight roof edge.
How long does gutter replacement take?
Most gutter replacements take one day, including removal, any minor fascia work, installation and cleanup. Two-story homes, substantial fascia replacement or new underground drainage can add a day.
Because we roll-form the new gutters on-site, there is no gap between tearing off the old system and hanging the new one, and your home is not left without gutters overnight in most cases.
Is gutter replacement covered by insurance?
Gutter replacement can be covered when the damage comes from a sudden event such as hail or wind, often alongside a roof claim. Replacement due to age, wear or lack of maintenance generally is not covered.
If you have had a hail or wind event, document the damage with photos and talk to your insurer. Our guide to hail damage, gutters and insurance explains what adjusters look for, including how gutter damage is documented alongside roof damage.

Gutter Replacement FAQ
How much does it cost to replace gutters in San Antonio?
Replacing gutters on a single-story San Antonio home of about 2,000 sq ft typically costs $1,300–$2,600 in 5-inch seamless aluminum, and a two-story home $2,000–$4,000. That includes new gutters at $7–$15 per linear foot and removal of the old system at $1–$2 per foot. Fascia repairs and extra downspouts add to the total.
How often should gutters be replaced?
There is no fixed schedule. Seamless aluminum gutters that are well installed and maintained often last 20 years or more, while vinyl and older sectional systems tend to fail sooner. Replace when problems are widespread: leaks at many joints, sagging on several runs, chronic overflow, or major hail damage.
Can you replace just one side of my gutters?
Yes. If one side of the house took the damage or has the failing runs, we can replace only those sections with seamless gutter. We match the profile and color as closely as possible. Keep in mind that new and older aluminum may weather slightly differently, so some homeowners choose to replace everything at once.
Do you remove the old gutters?
Yes. Every replacement includes taking down the old gutters, downspouts, hangers and spikes and hauling them away, typically $1–$2 per linear foot. We also inspect the fascia once the old gutters are off, since that is where long-term leaks usually cause hidden rot.
Should I replace my gutters before or after a new roof?
Usually after, or at the same time. Roofers often need to work at the roof edge and install drip edge, which can damage or require removing gutters. If both are planned, coordinate so the new gutters go up once the roof and drip edge are finished. If your gutters are in good shape, they can often be carefully removed and rehung.
Is it worth upgrading from 5-inch to 6-inch gutters?
For many San Antonio homes, yes. Six-inch gutters carry noticeably more water, pair with larger 3x4 downspouts and clog less, which helps during heavy downpours and under oak or pecan trees. The upgrade usually adds about $2–$3 per linear foot. Simple single-story roofs may not need it.
