The quality of your home’s gutters can impact the roof, siding, and foundation. Therefore, it's worth the time to make sure you are investing in a quality product. Before you schedule gutter installation, here's a closer look at the differences between seamless and sectional options.

A Homeowner’s Guide to Sectional vs. Seamless Gutters

Sectional Gutters

As the name implies, sectional gutters come in several pieces, which are usually 10 to 20 feet long. During gutter installation, the contractor will connect these pieces, in addition to placing the end caps, corner parts, and downspouts. 

Many homeowners will choose sectional gutters because they are easy to install and less expensive than the seamless variety. However, the seams can leave these channels vulnerable to leaks. If the gutter cracks, it can compromise the entire structure. In some cases, a severe clog can cause a section to break off, releasing rainwater that can pool around your foundation.

Seamless Gutters

In contrast, seamless gutters are installed in one piece. While this may seem more complicated than sectional gutter installation, contractors have the tools and skills to create and install these custom-fitted systems effectively. Because of their unique construction, seamless gutters will not leak or burst. This makes them a highly durable option.  

Which Is Best For Your Home?

For most homeowners, seamless gutters are worth the investment. Once you schedule installation, you can enjoy the peace of mind that comes with knowing they will last for years without causing leaks, floods, or foundational problems.
