THE PURPOSE OF GUTTERING SYSTEMS

The purpose of guttering systems is to collect water (rain) from the roofing area and disperse the water away from your home. Properly configured downspouts (leaders, drain pipes) are very essential.   A faulty guttering system can contribute to damage to Soffit & Fascia, Shingles, Building Foundations, Driveways, Walkways, & Landscaping.

Guttering systems require maintenance to insure protection for your home. Make sure your gutters are free from debris, leaves, granules from shingles, birds nest. The extreme exposure to nature can also cause sealant failures. Snow & Ice can loosen fasteners and should be repaired immediately to prevent costly repairs.  

(We always recommend a professional for maintaining your Guttering System)

INSTALLATION

For the average house, installation will be done in one day.  The contractor will arrive with a truck- or trailer-mounted seamless gutter machine with the color you've selected. The installation of the downspouts, which will be located as needed according to the amount of roof runoff each section of gutter has to handle, as well as where the best location is for directing the runoff away from the house. 

Each piece is measured individually, and the seamless gutter machine creates a continuous piece of gutter that is custom sized.  Seamless gutters must be fabricated on-site by a professional contractor.

There are many different gutter materials to choose from, including steel, aluminum, vinyl, copper. Many types of gutters (steel and vinyl in particular) are sold in 10’ lengths and require dozens of seams fastened with slip fittings, each one is a weak spot and a potential leak site.

The term seamless gutters can be confusing because there are seams in the system. The seams are only at the corners and downspout outlets.These joints are fastened more securely and sealed for stability and leak resistance. The Seamless Gutter itself is continuous which makes them both strong and visually more appealing.
