Want to Save Money on Gutters? Here's How to Stay Protected Without Breaking the Bank

 

New gutters can be a big investment, but putting off installation or choosing the wrong system could cost you even more in water damage repair. At Colorado Gutter Professionals, we help Denver-area homeowners find the right balance between cost and protection. Here's how you can save money on gutters—without risking your home.

 ---

1. Know Your Material Options

 

The material you choose will greatly affect cost. Here’s a quick comparison:

 

  • Aluminum Gutters – Affordable, durable, environmental, and rust-resistant. Ideal for most homes in the Denver metro area, including suburbs in the foothills like Boulder, Golden, Evergreen, and Morrison all the way to the cities close to the plains like Aurora, Brighton, Commerce City, Thornton, and Bennett.

 

💡 Pro Tip:

Choose 0.032 aluminum gutters for a strong, cost-effective solution. Gutters made with .032 Aluminum coil are the best aluminum available, and that’s what Colorado Gutter Professionals uses on every aluminum installation.

 

  • Steel Gutters – Strong and long-lasting, however, more expensive than aluminum and prone to rust if not maintained. Cleaning your gutters at the very least 2 times a year is necessary in Colorado if you have steel gutters.

 

  •   Copper Gutters – Beautiful and long-lasting, but come with a premium price tag. If price is not an issue for you and you want the absolute best, Copper is for you.

 

  • Vinyl Gutters – Cheap up front, but not recommended in Colorado due to high-altitude sun and extreme temperature swings. Vinyl becomes brittle and prone to cracking in Colorado. If you just need a temporary solution vinyl is the best option, but don’t expect to get more than a year or two out of them in Colorado’s sun and temperature changes.

Gutter Cleaning is essential for gutters to have the longest life possible.
Gutters full of debris are useless at protecting your home from leaks.

2. Don’t Skip Gutter Maintenance

 

Skipping regular maintenance is one of the quickest ways to damage your gutters—and your home, no matter what material they are made from. Clogged gutters lead to overflow, fascia rot, ice dams, and even foundation problems.

 

Here’s how to save money long-term:

 

·       Clean your gutters at least twice a year (spring and fall). More often, if you’ve had an extra windy year or hail (of any size) at your house.

 

·       Check for sagging, loose brackets, or leaks after major storms. Catching these items quickly they can often be repaired without having to replace sections or replacing fascia and soffit.

 

·       Have the gutters resealed in common problem areas (end caps, corners, seams, and outlets) every 3–5 years to prevent slow leaks and water damage.

·       Keep trees trimmed back from your roofline.

 

Consider seasonal inspections from a local Denver gutter company (yes, COGutterPros does that!).

 

 

💧 Regular upkeep ensures your gutters do their job so you don’t end up paying for costly water repairs down the road.

3. Plan Strategically With a Gutter Pro


Save money by knowing exactly what your gutter professional is planning to do on your property.
With every gutter project with Colorado Gutter Professionals, they provide a detailed diagram of the plan, so the crew and the homeowner know exactly what is being done.

 

A good Denver gutter company (like Colorado Gutter Professionals) will help you:

 

·       Optimize gutter placement so you only pay for what you need ·       Use longer seamless runs to avoid multiple joints (which can leak and require more maintenance)

 

·       Ensure proper downspout drainage so water flows away from your foundation—no landscape flooding, no basement issues

 

·       Determine if gutters can be replaced in stages to spread out the cost. For example, install the front of the house this fall and schedule the back for next spring—keeping you protected while staying within your budget.

 

 

💧 We also install drainage systems to carry water from the downspout into the yard or drain tile, offering extra peace of mind.

4. DIY Isn’t Always Cheaper (But It Can Help Temporarily)

 

If you're on a tight budget, temporary DIY vinyl gutters can offer short-term relief. But beware: poor installation can cause more damage than protection.

 

Instead, ask us about our budget-friendly packages —we'll work with you to find a long-lasting option within your price range.

5. Schedule During the Off-Season

 

Prices tend to rise in peak seasons. If you can, plan your install early winter. Fall is often a sweet spot to get better pricing and faster scheduling.
