Gutter installation cost in Redmond by home type
Redmond has nearly every kind of house the Eastside has built since the 1960s, so gutter footage and size change from street to street. These are typical installed prices for the homes we see most.
| Home type | Common in | Typical gutter length | Typical installed cost (2026) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single-story rambler | Education Hill, Grass Lawn, Willows/Rose Hill | 130 to 160 ft | $1,200 to $2,600 |
| Split-level or tri-level | Education Hill, Idylwood, Grass Lawn | 150 to 200 ft | $1,700 to $3,400 |
| Two-story, 1980s to 2000s | Bear Creek, North Redmond, Redmond Ridge | 200 to 260 ft | $2,000 to $3,600 |
| Large two-story with several roof valleys | Redmond Ridge, Union Hill, Novelty Hill | 260 ft and up | Priced by the foot at the 6-inch rate, $11 to $16 / ft |
By the foot, 5-inch seamless aluminum typically runs $9 to $13 installed and 6-inch runs $11 to $16. Downspouts add $4 to $7 per linear foot, and hauling away the old gutters is usually included. Soft fascia behind the old gutters adds $300 to $800 for typical sections, and guards are priced on top.
For a rough number of your own, measure along the eaves where gutters hang (not the gable ends), multiply by the per-foot price for the size you need, and add the downspouts.
Common gutter repairs in Redmond and what they cost
Most Redmond repair calls come down to these problems, each with the usual fix and a ballpark 2026 cost.
| Problem | What you notice | Typical fix | Ballpark cost (2026) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Clogged outlet and overflow | Water spills over the front edge, usually at one corner | Clear the run and outlet, flush the downspout, reseal | $150 to $300 |
| Sagging or loose gutter | A gap at the fascia, water standing in the trough after rain | Rehang on hidden hangers, re-pitch toward the downspout | $200 to $450 |
| Leaking seams or corners | Drips at the joints, streaks on the siding below | Reseal the seams or replace the corner | $150 to $350 |
| Overflow at valleys, even when clean | Water shoots past the gutter where two roof slopes meet | Add an outlet, swap 2x3-inch downspouts for 3x4-inch, add a splash guard | $150 to $350 per downspout |
| Snow or ice damage | A run bent outward or hangers pulled loose after a thaw | Replace the section, set hidden hangers closer together | $250 to $650 |
| Damaged section | A dented, split or crushed length of gutter | Replace it in matching seamless aluminum | $10 to $20 / linear ft |
| Rotted fascia | Soft wood, peeling paint, a gutter that will not hold a screw | Repair the fascia, then rehang the gutter | $300 to $800 |
| Downspout problems | Disconnected, crushed, or dumping water at the foundation | Reattach, replace or extend away from the house | $100 to $300 |
One Redmond tip: if a downspout backs up at ground level, check the drain before blaming the gutter. Many homes here send downspouts into buried drain lines, and a line packed with needles or roots makes the gutter overflow at that corner even when the trough is clean. A garden hose run into the downspout for a minute usually shows which one is at fault.
Why Redmond gutters work harder than they look
Most of Redmond's rain falls between October and March, on some of the most heavily treed neighborhoods on the Eastside. Four local conditions decide how long a gutter system lasts here.
- Big trees on most lots. Douglas fir and western red cedar shed needles all year, and big-leaf maples drop a heavy load of leaves every October plus winged seeds in spring. Needles mat at the outlets first, so the gutter drains slowly and spills at the corners. Homes under heavy cover in Bear Creek, on Education Hill and out on Union Hill often need three or four cleanings a year.
- Valley floor versus the hills. Downtown, Idylwood and the streets along the Sammamish River sit low in the valley, where morning fog keeps roofs damp for hours and moss grows fast. Education Hill, Union Hill and Novelty Hill sit a few hundred feet higher and see snow and ice more often. Snow sliding off a roof can bend a gutter and pull its hangers loose in a single thaw.
- Several generations of houses. The 1960s and 1970s ramblers and split-levels on Education Hill and in Grass Lawn often have older sectional gutters or fascia that has held gutters for decades. Bear Creek and North Redmond filled in with larger two-story homes in the 1980s and 1990s. Redmond Ridge and Trilogy were built from around 2000, when builder-grade gutters were commonly 5-inch runs with 2x3-inch downspouts. Seamless aluminum typically lasts 25 to 30 years, so those systems are reaching the age where corners leak and hangers let go.
- HOA rules. Redmond Ridge, Trilogy and many townhome communities in Overlake and downtown have rules for exterior changes. Same color and profile is usually simple, but a new color, a larger size or added guards may need architectural approval first, and in some townhome communities the association maintains the gutters. Check before you schedule.
Repair or replace: how to decide
Repair is the right call when the problem sits in one place: one sagging run, a leaking corner, a single damaged section or a downspout that cannot keep up. Hanging gutters that are still straight and solid are usually worth repairing, even at 15 or 20 years old.
Replace when the trouble is spread out: sectional gutters dripping at several joints, rust or splits on more than one run, gutters that overflow along whole runs in every heavy storm even when clean, or fascia that needs work anyway. If you are re-roofing, doing the gutters at the same time saves a second setup and lets the drip edge and gutter be fitted together. Our checklist of signs your gutters need replacing shows what to look for from the ground. New gutters are backed by our 20-year workmanship warranty, and our seamless gutter replacement page covers colors and hangers.
5-inch or 6-inch gutters for a Redmond home
For most Redmond homes we recommend 6-inch K-style seamless gutters with 3x4-inch downspouts. A 6-inch gutter carries roughly 40 percent more water than a 5-inch one, and a 3x4 downspout has about twice the opening of a 2x3, so needles pass through instead of plugging it. The larger size typically adds about $2 to $3 per linear foot.
A 5-inch system still works on a simple single-story home with light tree cover, given a downspout every 30 to 40 feet and one wherever a roof valley empties into a run. K-style, the flat-backed profile on most Redmond houses, holds more water than a half-round gutter of the same width. Our 5-inch vs 6-inch sizing guide has the math.
Gutter guards on Redmond homes
Under fir and cedar, stainless micro-mesh is the guard type that holds up, because the mesh keeps needles on top where wind and rain clear most of them. On existing gutters it typically costs $4 to $8 per linear foot, or about $11 to $18 per linear foot with new seamless gutters, which makes a replacement the cheapest moment to add it. Guards cut cleaning to a light yearly check but do not end it, and they should never go over gutters that already leak or sag. See our gutter guard installation page for the types. If you would rather keep cleaning, our gutter cleaning cost guide and Eastside cleaning timing guide help you plan.
How a Redmond gutter job with Atrax works
- Inspection and measuring. We measure every run and check the fascia, outlets, downspouts and drain connections, with photos of what we find.
- Written estimate. One price with gutter size, color, downspout count and any fascia work spelled out, or a fixed repair price with a straight answer on repair versus replacement.
- The work. Old gutters come off, soft fascia is repaired, and new runs are rolled on-site, hung on hidden hangers and pitched toward the downspouts. Most installs take one day, and most repairs one visit.
- Water test and cleanup. We run water through the system, haul away the old material and walk the property with you.

Redmond gutter installation and repair FAQ
How much does it cost to put gutters on a 2,000 sq ft house in Redmond?
A 2,000 square foot home usually needs about 150 to 200 feet of gutter. At $9 to $16 per linear foot for seamless aluminum, most of those installs land between roughly $1,350 and $3,200. A single-story layout with 5-inch gutters sits near the low end, and a two-story with 6-inch gutters, several valleys or fascia repair moves toward the top.
How much does it cost to replace part of a gutter?
Replacing a damaged length in matching seamless aluminum typically costs $10 to $20 per linear foot, with the joints resealed at each end. Most single-section jobs fall inside the usual $150 to $600 repair range.
Is gutter replacement worth it?
It is when the problems are spread across the system, such as leaks at several joints, rust on more than one run, or overflow along whole runs in every storm even when clean. If the trouble is in one spot and the rest of the metal is sound, a repair is usually the better value.
Do I want 5-inch or 6-inch gutters?
For most Redmond homes, 6-inch. It carries roughly 40 percent more water than 5-inch and pairs with 3x4-inch downspouts, for about $2 to $3 more per linear foot. A 5-inch system can still work on a simple single-story home with light tree cover.
Can you put a 3x4 downspout on a 5-inch gutter?
Yes, in most cases. A 3x4-inch outlet fits the bottom of a standard 5-inch K-style gutter, and it is one of the cheapest ways to help an existing 5-inch system keep up with heavy rain. It has about twice the opening of a 2x3-inch downspout, so needles pass through instead of plugging it. The fit is tight, so the outlet has to be cut and sealed carefully.
Do roofers fix gutters?
Many do, and Atrax Roof and Gutter handles both. That helps at the roof edge, where many gutter problems start: a missing or short drip edge lets water run behind the gutter into the fascia. That is why a gutter inspection should include a look at the roof edge above it, and we will tell you if the cause sits there.
