Gutter Installation Pricing in Pittsburgh, PA
We can’t provide exact pricing online because every home in Pittsburgh is unique. That’s why our team offers a free, no-pressure consultation to assess your specific needs and provide an accurate quote.
Key factors that affect your quote: Home height and roof pitch (which determines safety equipment needs), material choice (aluminum vs copper), gutter size (5-inch, 6-inch, or 7-inch), and whether fascia repairs are needed. Fascia condition is often the biggest variable—Pittsburgh’s freeze-thaw cycles and heavy rain can take a toll, so we check this carefully during every inspection.
If you need old gutters removed, we’ll handle disposal too. Ready to get started? Schedule your free consultation today and we’ll create a custom solution for your home.

Pittsburgh’s Climate Challenges
Year-Round Gutter Protection
Spring & Summer
Pittsburgh’s summer storms from June through August often dump heavy rain in minutes. When gutters can’t handle that volume—whether from improper pitch, undersized five-inch systems common in older homes, or debris buildup—water overflows and pools around foundations. Regular maintenance or gutter protection like LeafFilter, engineered to prevent common debris from entering gutters, can help protect homes from water damage during peak storm season.
Fall & Winter
In Pittsburgh’s older neighborhoods with mature maples and oaks, fall brings heavy leaf drop. The real issue isn’t just the volume—it’s wet debris that accumulates and sits through winter. By late February and March, trapped moisture causes fascia board rot and wood damage that could’ve been avoided. Regular fall and spring gutter cleaning, or installing gutter protection designed to help prevent debris buildup, helps ensure proper drainage year-round.

Just a small rainstorm can divert hundreds of gallons of water to your foundation if your gutters are clogged. Pittsburgh receives an average annual precipitation of 38.3 inches.

Frequently Asked Questions
If your gutters are sagging, leaking, or pulling away from your home, it’s a clear sign you need new gutters. Pittsburgh’s frequent rain, freeze-thaw cycles, and hilly terrain can accelerate wear and tear on gutter systems. Rust spots, visible cracks, or damaged sections also indicate it’s time for replacement to help protect your home from water damage.
Aluminum is the best material for new gutter installations in Pittsburgh. It’s lightweight, rust-resistant, and handles the area’s heavy rainfall—around 38 inches annually—while standing up to humid summers and cold winters. Copper is another excellent option, offering a premium look and longer lifespan, though at a higher cost.
Professional gutter installation in Pittsburgh typically takes 1-3 days, depending on your home’s size, roof complexity, and the type of gutter system being installed. Factors like linear footage, number of corners and downspouts, and any necessary fascia repairs can affect the timeline. Pittsburgh’s weather conditions may occasionally impact scheduling as well.
LeafFilter uses Sherwin Williams Plastilure to match the color of your home. This system allows us to match your existing gutters or select a color that complements your Pittsburgh home’s exterior, whether you have brick, stone, or siding.
The size of gutters depends on your home’s roof area and local weather. In Pittsburgh, 6-inch gutters are often recommended because they can handle heavy rainfall without overflowing. This is particularly important during the region’s frequent storms and wet seasons. Smaller homes with roof areas under 1,000 square feet may do fine with standard 5-inch gutters.
Yes, new gutters require regular maintenance like cleaning and inspections to function properly. However, bundling gutter installation with LeafFilter’s gutter guard system minimizes ongoing maintenance. In Pittsburgh, LeafFilter is designed to help handle the region’s seasonal debris and rainfall patterns, helping to reduce the need for frequent cleaning.
Yes, gutters can be installed on steep or complex roofs. Pittsburgh’s diverse architecture—from Victorian homes in Shadyside to hillside properties throughout the region—requires adaptable installation approaches. Experienced installers work with multiple roof lines, dormers, and steep pitches common in our area, ensuring proper drainage that handles Pittsburgh’s heavy rainfall and protects your foundation.
Gutters protect your home by directing rainwater away from your foundation, walls, and landscaping. In Pittsburgh, where the area receives around 38 inches of rain annually and experiences seasonal weather changes, properly functioning gutters are essential for helping prevent basement flooding, foundation damage, and soil erosion.

Yes, LeafFilter removes and disposes of old gutters during installation. In Pittsburgh, this commonly includes replacing older systems that have rusted or deteriorated due to the area’s humid summers and freeze-thaw cycles in winter.
