Price gutter jobs by the foot, not by gut. Free, no signup.
Start in "The job" with linear feet of gutter (suggested starting point: 180; typical homes run 100 to 250 feet). Pick a Stories preset, 1 story (x1), 2 story (x1.5), or 3 story (x2), and a Debris level, Light (x1), Normal (x1.2), or Heavy/packed (x1.5). Multipliers raise your per-foot rate for taller, messier work.
Add downspouts to flush (starting point: 4) with the fee per downspout ($10, pre-filled and editable), and tick the gutter-guards checkbox if guards are installed, since cleaning takes longer and adds $0.25 per foot. In "Your rates", set your 1-story dollars per foot ($1.00, pre-filled and editable), target dollars per hour, estimated on-site hours including setup, ladder moves, bagging debris, and cleanup, and your minimum charge ($100, pre-filled).
The tool notes common ranges of $0.75 to $1.25 per foot on one-story and $1.25 to $1.85 on two-story (2026 industry guides) as context only. The Quote card breaks down the gutter line, guard adder, downspouts, and the minimum-charge bump if it applies, shows the quote rounded to whole dollars with a per-foot figure, and a verdict: ON TARGET at your hourly goal, CLOSE within 80% of it, or UNDERPRICED with a prompt to raise the quote.
Example only, not typical earnings. A 180-foot job on a 2-story home with normal debris: base rate $1.00 per foot, 4 downspouts at $10 each, no gutter guards, a $100 minimum, 2 estimated on-site hours, and a $75 per hour target.
The per-foot rate is $1.00 x 1.5 (2 story) x 1.2 (normal debris) = $1.80 per foot, so gutters are 180 x $1.80 = $324.00, plus 4 x $10 = $40 for downspouts, for a subtotal of $364.00, which clears the $100 minimum, so the quote is $364, about $2.02 per foot. The effective rate is $364 / 2 hours = $182 per hour against the $75 target, so the verdict reads ON TARGET.
How do the Stories and Debris multipliers work?
Your 1-story dollars-per-foot rate is the base. The Stories preset multiplies it by 1, 1.5, or 2, and the Debris preset multiplies it by 1, 1.2, or 1.5, because taller and messier work is slower and riskier. If your own multipliers differ, the tool suggests editing the base rate to match your numbers.
When does the minimum charge kick in?
The quote is the higher of your line-item subtotal and your minimum charge. If the subtotal comes in below the minimum, the tool applies the minimum and shows a "Minimum charge applied" line in the breakdown. This protects small jobs, like a short single-story run, from pricing below what the trip is worth.
What does the verdict (ON TARGET, CLOSE, UNDERPRICED) mean?
The verdict divides your quote by your estimated on-site hours and compares it to your target dollars per hour. ON TARGET means you meet or beat the goal, CLOSE means you land within 80% of it with a suggestion to raise the rate or minimum, and UNDERPRICED means you are well short with a prompt to raise the quote.
Why does the tool ask for my estimated on-site hours?
Because a per-foot price alone does not tell you what your time is worth. The hours you enter, including setup, ladder moves, bagging debris, and cleanup, feed the verdict's effective hourly rate, which is the real test of whether the quote hits your income goal.
Is this a firm quote I can send as-is?
No. The tool says estimates are for planning only, and it asks you to confirm story count and debris level on site before giving a firm price. Satellite or curb-side estimates can miss guards, packed debris, or access problems that change the job.
