Seamless or sectional, aluminum or copper—get the full installed cost including downspouts, fascia repair, and removal so nothing falls through the cracks (or the gutters).
Seamless gutters run $1–2/lf more in material, but eliminate the joints that are the #1 source of leaks and callbacks. For homeowners staying put, the math favors seamless within 2–3 years of avoided repairs. If you're selling on lifetime cost, seamless is an easy upsell with no margin sacrifice.
Half of gutter jobs uncover rotted fascia—especially on houses over 20 years old with improperly sloped gutters. Price fascia replacement as a line item at time of quote with a clear "if condition is found" clause, not after you've already uninstalled the old gutters. Surprises kill profit.
Basic screens reduce cleaning frequency. Micro-mesh eliminates it for most debris types. Quote micro-mesh at $4–8/lf over gutter cost and frame it as eliminating the annual cleaning call. If the homeowner is elderly or has a 2-story with no easy ladder access, micro-mesh is a no-brainer. Document what you installed so there's no "you never cleaned them" dispute in year 3.

This calculator builds a complete installation price from all cost components. Use it to quote new installations and replacements accurately, and to justify the cost difference between aluminum and copper.
