Install 4 downspouts for $128.00 in materialsSpace downspouts evenly along your gutter run, no more than 40 ft apart. Each downspout uses 2 elbows at the top (to offset from the wall) and 1 at the bottom to direct water away from the foundation. Place splash blocks or extensions to carry water at least 4-6 ft from the house.

This is a material estimate only. Actual downspout placement depends on roof layout, gutter slope, and local building codes. Consult a gutter professional for complex rooflines.
