A complete estimate you can send to the customer, built from the rate you enter:

Materials — with your markup applied	qty	ea / sq ft	cost + markup	—
Permits, disposal, access	—	—	—	—

Plus a plain-English scope summary, assumptions (what had to be guessed), exclusions (what you are not doing — the section that prevents most change-order arguments), and a validity period. Printable, or send the link.

Every figure comes from the rate and markup you supply. We never fill in a market price for you.

How gutter installation jobs are bid

Gutters are bid per linear foot of gutter plus per downspout, with a separate price for each inside and outside corner and each end cap. Seamless gutter is run on site from a coil, so the price assumes the truck can park within reach of the run. The variable nobody quotes is the fascia behind the gutter: if it is soft, it has to be replaced before anything hangs on it, and that is carpentry, not gutter work. Two-storey runs need ladder or staging time that a single-storey run does not.

What a gutter installation estimate should contain

Linear feet of gutter by size and profile — 5 inch or 6 inch K-style, half-round
Material and gauge — aluminium, steel, copper — and the colour
Downspouts: count, size and the drop locations
Inside and outside corners, end caps and mitres counted individually
Hangers, spacing and the fastener type into the fascia
Fascia and drip edge condition — repair or replacement as a separate line
Gutter guard by linear foot, if in scope
Underground drain tie-in or splash blocks and where the water goes
Removal and disposal of existing gutter
Access: single or two storey, and staging where ladders will not reach

What gets left out of gutter installation estimates

Soft fascia found at teardown — allowance it with a per-foot rate
Where the water actually goes; a correct gutter that dumps at the foundation is a complaint
Slope over long runs, and the extra downspout a 60 ft run needs
Truck access for the seamless machine on a house with no driveway frontage

Your prices, not internet averages

Generic AI quotes national averages. BidWand builds a price book from every estimate you send and every rate you correct, so by the fifth bid it prices like you do — your labor rate, your markup, your exclusions.
