When you need to manage the flow of rainwater off the roof of your house, your two primary gutter choices are traditional or seamless. Seamless gutters are extremely popular at the moment, in part because of their newness. However, despite the advantages seamless gutters provide, traditional styles have a lot to offer, as well. Below are some of the benefits of choosing traditional gutters.

Advantages of Traditional Gutter Styles

1. Choice

Traditional sectional gutters have been around a long time and, consequently, you have a vast number of styles, colors, and materials from which to choose. Whether you need a vintage-style copper gutter to match a period home, inexpensive vinyl to minimize cost, or a sturdy, stainless aluminum for longevity, you can find something that meets your needs and fits your budget.

2. Cost

Seamless gutters usually cost more both for materials and for installation. Although some people prefer them for their leak-proof design, other buyers prefer the money savings they can achieve with the traditional, sectional style. Neither choice is the "right" one. The decision depends entirely on your personal preferences.

3. Repairs

A nasty dent in a seamless aluminum gutter can be an eyesore, and it can cost a pretty penny to repair. Replacement isn't practical, especially if the seamless piece runs the entire length of the house. Damages to a sectional gutter system are easy to deal with. Simply remove the section and replace it with another. It's quick, easy, and effective.
