Why are seamless aluminum gutters a better choice?

Seamless gutters are custom-formed on-site in long continuous runs—often up to 50 feet—so there are fewer seams, fewer potential leak points, and a cleaner appearance. Compared to 10-foot sectional pieces from hardware stores, seamless aluminum offers improved durability, reduced maintenance, and enhanced curb appeal.

How do you fix leaking or overflowing gutters?

We diagnose the cause, then clean and reseal joints and miters, replace worn sections, and correct gutter pitch. For overflow, we often add or upsize downspouts, clear obstructions, and ensure proper slope so water drains efficiently away from the home.

Can you replace my old gutters with a better installation method?

Yes. We replace nail-fastened systems—which can loosen over time—with hidden hangers that securely support the gutter and allow for proper expansion, contraction, and long-term stability.

Do you offer gutter installation for new construction projects?

Yes. We provide seamless gutter and downspout installation for new residential and commercial builds, coordinating with contractors to ensure correct sizing, placement, slope, and code-compliant discharge.

Can you repair damage to the wood behind my gutters?

Yes. If fascia boards are rotted or damaged from prior leaks, our team can replace or repair the wood before installing new gutters to ensure a solid attachment and long-lasting performance.

Do you handle gutter guards or other gutter accessories?

Yes. We install gutter guards to reduce debris buildup, as well as accessories like kick-out flashing, splash blocks, and downspout extensions to direct water away from siding and foundations.

What Gutter Size Is Ideal for Your Home?

December 25, 2023

Your gutter system is necessary to protect your home’s exterior and foundation from water-related issues. If you are investing in new gutters, material, style, and durability aren’t the only factors you should consider. Size can also influence the efficiency of your gutter system.

Read on to get tips on choosing the ideal gutter size for your home.

What Should You Consider with Home Gutters?

The size and slope of your roof are primary factors in determining the appropriate gutter size. Your gutters should be proportional to your roof’s square footage and pitch to prevent overflow during heavy rains. Larger roofs or those with steeper slopes collect and channel more water. It means they need wider gutters to handle the increased water flow.

Do you live in a place where storms are common? Areas with heavier and more frequent rainfall require more expansive gutters to accommodate the volume of water. Looking into the average rainfall in your location can help you select gutters that can effectively manage downpours, ensuring your property remains protected against water damage.

5-Inch vs. 6-Inch Gutters

5-inch gutters work for most homes. However, if your house has a large roof, you might need 6-inch gutters because they can handle more rainwater. You can also use a combination of 6- and 5-inch gutters in different areas of your home. For instance, sections of slopes, valleys and peaks may need 6-inch gutters. An experienced contractor can help you design a gutter system that works best for your property.
