Seamless Gutters

What are gutters?

Gutters are a system of channels that are installed along the edge of a home’s roof, known as the eve, to collect and redirect rainwater away from the home. This helps to prevent damage to the eve and foundation of the home by directing the water to a controlled exit point through a downspout. Gutters are not a new invention, but they are not always widely used or understood in all areas. When it rains, the gutter system collects the water that flows down the roof and channels it through the downspout to prevent damage to the home.

What are Seamless Gutters?

Gutters are made from metal, which is shaped and formed using specialized machines. In the past, these machines were often located at manufacturing shops, and the gutters were made off-site. To install the gutters on a home, they were typically cut into 10-foot sections and transported to the house for assembly. The 10-foot sections were then pieced together to create longer lengths of gutter for the home. This process required the gutters to be formed and installed separately, rather than being formed and installed on-site.

In the past, gutter installation required the gutters to be formed and cut into sections at a shop, then transported to the home for installation. However, the invention of portable gutter machines allowed the gutters to be formed on-site, eliminating the need for pre-cut sections. This allowed the gutters to be custom-sized for each home, avoiding the need for seams every 10 feet. The resulting product, known as seamless gutters, has proven to be more durable and require less maintenance due to the reduced number of seams. The process of forming and installing gutters on-site also makes the installation process easier and more efficient, helping to keep costs down.

Why do I need them?

Gutters are an essential component of any home, and their proper installation and maintenance is crucial. In recent years, building inspectors and municipalities have recognized this fact, and many now require gutters to be installed in all new residential construction. There are several reasons why gutters are so important:

• The surrounding soil is stabilized
• Foundation issues can be prevented
• Basement and under-house flooding can be avoided
• By preventing erosion, lawn and landscaping are preserved.
• Siding water damage can be avoided
• Masonry made of brick and stone helps avoid water stains.
• Driveways, patios, and walkways can decrease settling and cracking
• It is possible to maintain overhead garage doors and outside doors.

Things to look out for

The development of portable seamless gutter machines has made it easy and cost-effective for entrepreneurs to enter the gutter installation business. While this increased competition can lead to lower prices for consumers, it also means that there are many inexperienced or short-lived companies in the market. This can lead to issues with service and workmanship, forcing customers to hire additional contractors to fix problems that were not properly addressed originally. This can ultimately cost more money in the long run. It is important for consumers to research and choose a reputable and established gutter company to ensure the best quality workmanship and avoid potential issues in the future.

When selecting a company for your gutter project, it is important to choose one that is reputable, well-established, and capable of standing behind their work. This will help to ensure that you receive high-quality workmanship and can rely on the company for any necessary repairs or maintenance in the future.
