Free Gutter Estimate Template (Excel + Google Sheets)
What Is a Gutter Estimate Template
A gutter estimate template lets a contractor price a job by material type and quantity - gutters, downspouts, guards - then add labor and any job-specific surcharges before presenting a client with a total.
This one splits that work across two linked sheets: material lines by type and footage, and a summary that adds labor, a story markup, and tax.
Free Gutter Estimate Excel Template: What's Inside
Gutter Materials is a line-item sheet, up to 30 rows: gutter type (a dropdown - K-style, Half-round, Downspout, Guards), linear feet, and price per foot. Line total calculates automatically for every row.
Estimate Summary pulls that materials subtotal in automatically, then adds labor hours times your labor rate, a story markup percentage, and sales tax to reach a final total - all recalculating live as you change any input.
Materials & Labor Cost Breakdown (Aluminum, Copper, Vinyl)
Because each material line has its own type, footage and price per foot, you can price different gutter materials - aluminum, copper, vinyl - as separate lines within the same estimate, each at its own per-foot rate, rather than averaging everything into one blended price.
Downspouts and guards, which are usually priced per unit rather than per foot, fit the same structure - just enter the count in the linear-feet column and the unit price in the price-per-foot column.
Story Markup and Tax Calculator
The story markup % applies to materials plus labor combined - a common way contractors price the extra difficulty, equipment and safety requirements of two-story-plus jobs without maintaining a separate price list per story height.
Sales tax applies after the story markup, on the full subtotal, so the final total reflects materials, labor, story surcharge and tax in one number - matching what onlineinvoices, invoicemaker, arcsite and estimaterocket each gate behind their own estimating software signup.
How to use it

- On the Estimate Summary sheet, enter labor hours and your labor rate.
- Enter a story markup % for two-story-plus jobs - it applies to materials plus labor.

How many material lines can this template handle?
Up to 30 lines on the Gutter Materials sheet, across as many gutter types as the job needs.
What does story markup % apply to?
It applies to materials plus labor combined, before tax - a standard way to price the added difficulty of two-story-plus installs.
Can I estimate downspouts and guards, which are priced per unit, not per foot?
Yes. Enter the unit count in the linear-feet column and the per-unit price in the price-per-foot column - the line total math works the same way.
Does this work in Google Sheets?
Yes. Upload the downloaded file to Google Drive, then open it and choose File > Save as Google Sheets. Every formula, including the cross-sheet materials subtotal, carries over and calculates the same way.
Can I price aluminum, copper and vinyl gutters in the same estimate?
Yes. Each material line has its own type, footage and price per foot, so different materials can sit on separate lines within the same estimate.
