THE ESSENTIAL GUIDE TO SEAMLESS GUTTERS

Seamless rain gutters, also called continuous gutters, first hit the market in the 1960s. Since then, seamless gutters have become a staple in American homes and businesses. With their sleek look and simple maintenance, it’s not hard to see why. If you’re not familiar with these revolutionary gutter systems, don’t fret. We’re here to give you the rundown on everything related to seamless gutters.

Let’s get started!

 

WHAT ARE SEAMLESS GUTTERS?

Instead of connecting several pieces of metal, seamless gutters are a one-piece gutter system. Because there are not multiple sections, there are no seams, hence the name “seamless.” To learn more about seamless gutters vs traditional, visit our Seamless Gutters page.

HOW DO YOU INSTALL SEAMLESS RAIN GUTTERS?

Sectional or traditional gutters are relatively simple to install if you’re handy. Seamless gutter installation, on the other hand, requires a professional.

When installing seamless gutters, an expert takes precise measurements of your building so that the gutter fits perfectly. They then roll a metal sheet through a gutter machine to create your custom gutter while on your property. Once the gutter is ready, your gutter team will install it to your home or office.

DO SEAMLESS GUTTERS NEED REPAIRS?

One of the best things about seamless gutters is that they’re more durable than their multi-jointed counterparts. With fewer pieces comes fewer repairs. Seamless rain gutters need fewer repairs than traditional gutter systems, but they may need occasional fixes. Over time, seamless gutters might develop:

  • Holes
  • Bent gutters
  • Broken hangers
  • Beaten downspouts

Although you can certainly repair these damages, it is more difficult since everything is connected. If your seamless gutters suffer from several holes or a damaged downspout, it may be better to look into seamless gutter replacement than repairs. For the most part, your seamless gutter repairs will be few and far between.

Your gutter company should be able to give you an estimate of how long the installation will take.
