What's the average price per foot for getting seamless gutters installed?

Lots of variables I see.

Contractor, standard size, basic quality but don't need overkill.

Seamless gutters have little to do with quality and there's no standard.

5" gutter might run anywhere from $15-20 + bucks a foot installed, downspouts, no extensions, plastic splash blocks.

If you have any marginally decent sheet metal shop nearby, you can have them roll the stuff out as long as you need it for a few bucks, buy connectors, it takes a day on a simple house. Sometimes transporting long lengths on top of the truck gets weird.

It's for my dads house. There is about 125 linear feet of gutter. He had one estimate so far at $4300. We think that is ridiculously high.

Depends on what they were installing and how they did it. You might be dealing with someone that knows how to do it.

Or not.

I get seamless aluminum gutters installed fairly often... "5K" style with 2x3 corrugated downspouts... and it runs about $6/foot of gutter and spout. 125 feet of gutter plus let's guess 50 feet of spout, that would run a bit over a thousand bucks.

Keep shopping until you find someone who can put up a job like that in a few hours with one helper, and then go do two more like it the same day.

That's what many folks say about good inspectors fees.

Around here small local companies install for $6-8 per foot - the big name companies "gutter helmet" etc, get $20+ per foot.

there's a place in Indy that will run them out at your jobsite and you install them yourself. You might check around for that.

6" 27g guttering runs are $2.75 per ft delivered, here.
