Learn why seamless gutters are a smart investment for your home

If you live in a state where it rains often (we’re talking to you, Floridians!), you should know that gutters play a crucial role in protecting your home.

 

There are two main types of gutters: seamless and sectional. Now, you may be wondering what exactly seamless gutters are, what they do, and their specific advantages over sectional gutters. 

 

Continue reading as we discuss the basics of gutters, and explore the benefits and advantages of seamless gutters.

 

What are gutters? 

Gutters are troughs used to collect rainwater from roofs. They are generally fixed below the eaves of homes or buildings. 

 

What is the purpose of gutters? 

The primary function of gutters is to disperse rainwater away from the home. This helps protect your exterior and foundation from erosion and water damage. 

 

Why are gutters so important?  

Gutters protect your home’s roof, siding, and most importantly: its foundation. 

 

In states with heavy rainfall such as Florida, properly working gutters are especially important because excess water can cause extensive damage to many parts of your home over time. 

 

While it’s important to have gutters on your home, it’s equally important to ensure that they’re properly maintained. Having damaged or clogged gutters can lead to costly roof or foundation repairs. This is where seamless gutters come in.

 

What are the advantages of seamless gutters over sectional gutters? 

Unlike sectional gutters, seamless gutters have minimal joints. Fewer joints means more durability and strength—and a lower likelihood of clogs, breaks, and leaks. The continuous design of seamless gutters also lowers the required maintenance and cleaning compared to sectional gutters. 

 

On top of the functional advantages, seamless gutters are generally custom cut on-site, making them an exact fit to your home. This helps them blend in with your soffit and fascia, giving your home a harmonious and aesthetically pleasing look.
