Replacing gutters in Sioux Falls costs about $12 to $18 per linear foot for new seamless aluminum, which is roughly $1,800 to $2,700 on a 150-foot house. Adding gutters to a house that has none costs the same per foot. The difference is in the lines around it: one job pays to take the old system away, the other pays to work out where the water should go.
Two jobs, one price per foot
| Line | Replacing an old system | Adding gutters to a house with none |
|---|---|---|
| New seamless aluminum | $12 to $18 per foot | $12 to $18 per foot |
| 150-foot house | $1,800 to $2,700 | $1,800 to $2,700 |
| Removal and disposal | Separate line, ask for it in writing | None |
| Fascia repair | $7 to $22 per foot, found once the old gutters come off | Less common, but check the board first |
| Drip edge or gutter apron | Usually already there | Often needed at the roof edge |
| Downspout routing | Reuse or move existing runs | Plan every discharge point from scratch |
Replacing an old system
The gutters come down first, and that is when the fascia shows what it has been hiding. Rotted board is the line that grows: at $7 to $22 a foot it can add a few hundred dollars, and no honest quote can promise the number before the old gutters are off. Ask how hidden damage gets priced before the crew arrives, not after.
Removal and disposal is its own line. Some quotes fold it into the per-foot price and some bill it separately, which is one reason two quotes for the same house can look a thousand dollars apart. Get it in writing either way.
Replacement is also the cheap moment to change size. The hangers and outlets are coming off anyway, so going from 5-inch to 6-inch costs $1 to $3 more a foot now, and a great deal more as a separate job later. Not every roof does, and telling which planes need 6-inch is quick.
Adding gutters where there are none
Start by deciding which edges actually need gutters. After that, there is no removal line, but two things usually cost more. The roof edge may have no drip edge, and without it water can run behind the gutter and into the fascia. And there is no existing downspout layout to inherit, so every discharge point gets planned: at least 5 feet from the foundation, onto ground that falls away, and never across a public sidewalk.
That planning is worth the time. A gutter that catches everything and dumps it beside the foundation has moved the problem, not solved it. Each town sets where roof water can legally go.

Doing gutters with a new roof
If the roof is being replaced anyway, do the gutters with it. The crew is already working at the eaves, the drip edge goes on as part of the roof, and Sioux Falls requires an ice barrier at the eaves on shingle roofs, which is fitted at the same time.
Sequence matters: roof first, then gutters, so nothing new gets dented or pulled off. Re-roofing needs a city permit even though the gutter work does not.
Why your quote beats the national average
Prices online put gutter replacement around $626 to $1,718 for a house, with an average near $1,171. Those numbers are real, and they are not what you will be quoted here.
They average vinyl and sectional gutters in with seamless aluminum, partial jobs in with whole houses, and cheap labor markets in with expensive ones. A full seamless aluminum system with removal included sits above them, which is why the local range on this site starts at $12 a foot rather than $4.
When replacement is the wrong purchase
A sound system with one failed corner is a repair, and a run that overflows in one spot may need an extra downspout rather than new gutters. Ask any contractor recommending full replacement which runs have failed and why a repair will not hold.
Many of these are repair jobs, and of the eight causes of overflow, only one is size.
What the quote should itemize
- Gutter size, profile and aluminum thickness
- Number and size of downspouts, and where each one discharges
- Removal and disposal of the old system, priced or stated as included
- How fascia and roof-edge damage gets handled and priced
- Guards as a separate option, never bundled invisibly
- Workmanship warranty and the manufacturer documents
- South Dakota contractor excise tax at 2%
Questions about replacement and installation cost
How much does gutter replacement cost in Sioux Falls?
About $12 to $18 per linear foot for new seamless aluminum, or roughly $1,800 to $2,700 on a 150-foot house, plus removal of the old gutters and any fascia repair.
How much does it cost to add gutters to a house with none?
The same $12 to $18 a foot, without the removal line. Budget instead for drip edge or gutter apron where the roof edge has none, and for where the water will go once it lands.
Is replacing gutters cheaper with a new roof?
Usually, because the crew is already at the eaves and the drip edge and ice barrier go in at the same time. Sequence the roof first, then the gutters.
Why is my quote higher than the national average?
National averages mix vinyl and sectional gutters, partial jobs and low-cost markets. A whole-house seamless aluminum job with removal included lands above them.
Should I replace the downspouts too?
If they are sound, the right size and drain where you want them, they can stay. The quote should say which stay and which are new.
Do I need a permit to replace gutters in Sioux Falls?
Gutter-only work is not on the Sioux Falls building permit list. Re-roofing and re-siding are, so confirm with Building Services if the job includes roof or fascia work.
What to expect to pay
Most whole-house jobs in Sioux Falls land between $1,800 and $3,600 before extras, whether the old gutters are coming off or there were never any. Fascia repair and a second story move it up, and a quote far below that usually means something is missing from the scope rather than a bargain.
