Gutters and gutter guards in Pennsylvania

Central and Western Pennsylvania have many older homes with steep roofs and aging gutters. Seamless replacement with heavy-duty hangers is a common project.

Erie’s lake-effect snow and the mountains’ cold winters make strong attachment and guards important. Wooded lots across the state mean heavy leaf fall.

In State College, Altoona and Johnstown, many homes sit on hillsides with steep roofs, so oversized downspouts and extensions that move water downhill are common additions.

Key facts: gutters in Pennsylvania

  • Typical cost: HomeGuide puts seamless aluminum gutters at about $6 to $12 per linear foot installed nationally; local prices vary.
  • Do gutter contractors need to register in Pennsylvania? Yes. Most home improvement contractors must register with the Attorney General under HICPA, and contracts must be written with a three-day cancellation right.
  • Common choice: seamless aluminum K-style gutters in 5- or 6-inch sizes; 6-inch with 3x4-inch downspouts for large roofs and heavy rain.
  • How to get connected: call the number on this page and you are connected with an independent local installer who serves your ZIP code. The call is free and there is no obligation.

Rain, snow and river valleys

Pennsylvania gets rain and snow spread through the year, with Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Harrisburg, Allentown and Scranton all averaging roughly 39 to 47 inches of precipitation under the 1991–2020 normals, and snow from a modest amount in the southeast to much more in the mountains and the northwest. The state’s flood history is written along its rivers: Agnes in 1972 and Tropical Storm Lee in 2011, which dropped 10 to 15 inches of rain in parts of central Pennsylvania. Summer thunderstorms and tropical remnants bring the intense downpours that overwhelm gutters.

Ground that moves

Pennsylvania has an unusual mix of ground hazards, and roof water plays a part in each:

  • Sinkholes in the limestone valleys of Lehigh, Berks, Lancaster, Lebanon, Cumberland and York Counties. The state DEP advises against directing stormwater into sinkholes; spread downspout discharge out. See gutters in sinkhole country.
  • Landslides on Pittsburgh’s steep hillsides, which the USGS documented widely in the very wet year of 2018. Keep roof water off slopes.
  • Mine subsidence over abandoned coal mines in the northeast and west; DEP runs a Mine Subsidence Insurance program for homeowners.

Older homes, slate and row houses

Philadelphia’s row houses, Pittsburgh’s hillside homes, and older housing in Harrisburg, Lancaster, Reading, Allentown and Scranton often have built-in gutters, half-round gutters, slate roofs and flat rear roofs with scuppers. These call for experienced crews. See gutters on row houses and gutters on historic homes.

Ice dams and snow

Across the state, older homes with steep roofs and limited insulation get ice dams in cold snaps. Hidden hangers about every 2 feet into rafter tails, heavier-gauge gutters and attic air sealing help. See snow load and gutters.

Stormwater programs

Philadelphia’s Water Department has run programs such as Rain Check that help residents manage roof runoff with rain barrels and other tools, and many Pennsylvania municipalities charge stormwater fees or encourage disconnection where combined sewers are present. See disconnecting downspouts.

Pennsylvania regions we cover

Basements and old drain lines

Most Pennsylvania homes have basements, and many older ones have downspouts that disappear into clay tile lines installed decades ago. Those lines crack, clog with roots and silt, or end nowhere, sending roof water straight into the soil beside the foundation. Before new gutters are connected to old buried pipes, have them tested with a hose or camera, and replace or bypass failed lines. In many cases, simple above-ground extensions work better than old buried pipes. See wet basement? check your gutters first and underground downspout drainage.

Choosing gutters and guards in Pennsylvania

Timing

Spring and early fall are the most comfortable seasons for gutter work in Pennsylvania. Fall is busy with guard installations before leaf drop, and spring brings repair calls after hard winters. On historic homes, allow time for any required district review, and on slate roofs, choose crews experienced with slate.

Registration, contracts and costs

Pennsylvania’s Home Improvement Consumer Protection Act requires most home improvement contractors to register with the Attorney General. Contracts must be written, include the registration number and give a three-day cancellation right. On pre-1978 homes, ask about EPA lead-safe certification. HomeGuide puts seamless aluminum gutters at about $6 to $12 per foot installed nationally; Angi reports Philadelphia-area averages on our Philadelphia page. See our cost guide.

FAQ

Questions from Pennsylvania homeowners

Other service areas:

How much do new gutters cost in Pennsylvania?

Seamless aluminum gutters on a typical home usually run about $1,000 to $3,000 installed, depending on linear footage, number of stories, downspouts and removal of the old system. The installer you are connected with gives you an exact price.

Do gutter contractors need to register in Pennsylvania?

Yes. Most home improvement contractors must register with the Attorney General under HICPA, and contracts must be written with a three-day cancellation right.

Can downspouts cause sinkholes in Pennsylvania?

Concentrated water can trigger sinkholes in limestone areas. Spread discharge out and never drain into depressions.

What is mine subsidence insurance?

A DEP program that insures homes over abandoned mines against subsidence damage, which homeowners policies usually exclude.

Should I reuse old buried downspout lines?

Only after testing them. Old clay tile lines often crack or clog and leak water beside the foundation. Replace or bypass failed lines with new pipe or above-ground extensions.

How much do gutters cost in Pennsylvania?

HomeGuide puts seamless aluminum at about $6 to $12 per foot nationally. Historic, slate-roof and row-house work costs more.
