Gutters prevent rainfall from damaging your roof and the structure of your building, but not all of them are created equally. Seamless gutters are a popular option for their quality and durability, but not many homeowners who own them know basic facts about them. If you have a question about your seamless gutters, find all the answers you need in this guide.

Seamless Gutter FAQs

What are seamless gutters?

Just as the name implies, they’re made with no seams or breaks along their length. Every seamless gutter is custom-made to fit your home, being installed in one piece.

What are the advantages of seamless gutters?

This type of system is durable and low-maintenance. With no seams to create weakness and instability, seamless gutters are stronger than other kinds, withstanding more weight, wind, and expansion and contraction from freezing temperatures. The lack of seams also reduces the amount of leaks, and seamless gutters collect all the water and runoff from your home to divert it from your foundation.

Since they’re tailored to your roof, seamless gutters blend naturally to your home’s exterior, giving it a luxurious custom look and boosting your curb appeal.

What colors are available?

Seamless gutters are available in a wide range of colors to match any exterior. Their paint is a baked-on enamel, which guarantees years of quality without the need for re-painting.

When should I replace my gutters?

During the winter, the water inside gutters expands and hardens into snow and ice, which can create cracks. Cracks allow water to leak down your siding, causing peeling paint, mold growth, and other water damage to both your foundation and home exterior.  

With no gutter guards in place to filter out debris like leaves and twigs, your system can also get clogged. If clogs weigh down your pipes enough, they can start to pull away from your home, requiring new installation. To prevent these issues, have a professional service install gutter guards and perform regular gutter maintenance on your home.
