Cost and Longevity of Gutter Machines
The cost of a gutter machine varies widely, ranging from around $10,000 for a used model up to $30,000 for high end versions. Gutter machines can last upwards of 15 years if properly maintained.
Overview of Seamless Gutters
Seamless gutters are manufactured in longer sections but will still have seams. For a roof area under 5,500 square feet a five inch gutter is recommended. For an area between 5,500 to 7,900 square feet a six inch gutter is better. Aluminum and vinyl gutters do the job well while remaining cost efficient.

A 5 inch gutter machine weighs between 150 and 200 pounds on average. Prices for seamless gutter machines range from $6,500 to $14,500.
