When doing gutter replacement or brand-new seamless gutter installation for your home, you need to consider the type of material (metal, vinyl, or copper) and the pitch of your roof, overhang, and fascia. Our rain gutter installers professionals will evaluate your home and design a seamless gutter system that best fits your needs.
Regular gutters, also known as sectional gutters, are manufactured in sections that can be attached to create one whole gutter piece.
To prevent leaks or drips, the joints between the roof and gutters sections must be sealed with sealant.
Gutter sealant typically lasts anywhere from one to five years, and regular maintenance is needed to ensure the gutters function correctly. Gutter maintenance involves re-patching, re-sealing, and timely cleaning of any drains that have been blocked or overflowed. All regular gutter systems can be made from standard materials.
Seamless gutters are exactly how they sound —seamless. Also known as continuous gutters, seamless gutters are created from a single piece of material.
They are not partitioned into sections; therefore, no sealing is required at the joints or seams. Seamless rain gutters have many benefits over standard gutters, including durability and low maintenance. They can be made from aluminum, steel, or copper.
Pros
Unlike traditional gutters with seams that can trap debris and cause backups or clogs if they are not regularly cleaned, seamless gutters do not require much maintenance.
And if you will consider adding leaf guards to your gutters, this will reduce the likelihood that they will become blocked in the first place. That way, you can avoid paying for professional maintenance as often as if you had traditional gutters.
Less inclined to leaks and damage: Because there are no joints in seamless gutter systems, you will have fewer leaks and won’t need to maintain or replace the sealant as often. Because joints are the weakest points in any gutter system, seamless gutters rarely sag or pull away from your house. That’s better protection against water damage for your home overall and your housekeeping budget.
If cared for properly, because of seamless gutter durability, they can last two decades and more compared to regularly-maintained sectional gutters that typically last significantly less and require re-sealing every one to five years.
Seamless gutters can significantly improve the appearance of a home as they are made from a single piece and don’t have joints, giving your home a sleek, sophisticated look that isn’t possible with traditional gutters.
Cons
The additional labor required to cut your gutters along the length of your home adds substantially to the cost of seamless gutters.
You are expected to spend between $6 – $13 per foot for seamless aluminum gutters while only $5-$10 for regular sectional gutters.
Although the upfront expense of seamless gutters may initially seem more pricey, their durability and reduced maintenance requirements will likely save you money over time.
One disadvantage of seamless gutters is that any repairs that need to be made require you to replace the entire gutter. Since they’re not modular, you can’t repair only one section and leave the rest untouched —you’ll have to replace it all.
Unlike standard gutters, which are DIY-friendly, seamless gutters require a professional cutting machine to ensure that they fit your home perfectly. This means that a local gutter installer will need to handle installation instead of the typical DIY approach taken with standard Gutters.
If you’re looking for a low-keep,hassle-free option for your gutter system that not only protects your home but also improves its curb appeal. Then seamless gutters are the right way to go.
While the initial cost of seamless gutters is expensive to purchase and install, they will save you money and likely provide enough benefits in the long run that their worth is easily justified.
