Your home’s gutter system is one of the most important aspects of your property. The second you see anything wrong with your gutter, whether it’s a leak or a loose piece, contact a roofing contractor. They’ll advise you on any new construction you may need, and if you need new gutters, they’ll help you explore all available options. You’ll have to choose between either traditional or seamless gutters. Here are some differences between the two.

Traditional

Traditional gutters come in pre-cut sections placed around your roof and sealed at the seams. They’re easy to install and come in a few different materials. Vinyl, for example, is the most common gutter option because of its easy installation and affordable price. Steel, meanwhile, is the sturdiest material, though cheaper varieties, such as galvanized steel, are susceptible to rusting.

Seamless

While traditional gutters come in sections, a seamless gutter is a single piece of material that has been cut and molded at a factory. Seamless gutters come in the same materials as traditional options. It’s impossible to install seamless gutters yourself because they need to be formed at a factory. Since there are no seams, there is less risk of leakage and the need for repair. And while they may cost more, seamless gutters are stronger and longer-lasting than traditional options, meaning you could save money in the long run.
