We install seamless aluminum gutters for low maintenance

Seamless aluminum gutter installation in Fairfield and New Haven Counties by expert roofing contractors

Just about every house needs gutters and downspouts. Without effective roof drainage, roof runoff will be dumped right next to the foundation. This substantial water flow can damage plants, decks, patios and exterior siding while also causing erosion. Inside the house, the basement can flood.

In addition to providing effective drainage, gutters also need to look good because of their prominent position on the exterior of the building. Many homeowners elect to replace gutters and downspouts during a roof replacement. Whether you are installing new gutters or replacing your old gutters and downspouts, a professional roofing contractor can help you choose the right gutters for your home!

A gutter machine can make seamless aluminum gutters in any length

The term “seamless” explains the major advantage with this type of gutter: It can be custom-made to any length required, eliminating the need for seams. The magic of making seamless gutters occurs inside a gutter machine. The flat aluminum sheet that enters one end of the machine comes out the opposite end formed into the finished gutter profile. The most popular profile for seamless gutters is a “K” style gutter with a curved front edge.

Installing Seamless Aluminum Gutters & Downspouts

From flat to formed. This K-profile gutter starts out as a flat sheet of aluminum. The gutter machine forms the profile, enabling the crew to create seamless gutters of any length. After the machine trims the gutter to the required length, workers attach end caps, then crimp and seal the caps to make the gutter watertight.

Brackets add strength. Cross braces are installed every 36 in. or so to stiffen the gutter and provide attachment points for screwing the gutter to the fascia board.

Creating a strong connection. Driving a screw through each gutter bracket and into the fascia board anchors the gutter in place.

Controlling the flow. Downspouts are assembled from elbows and straight sections, then screwed to the gutter’s drop outlet and to the wall.

Seamless aluminum gutters offer excellent value

There are a number of reasons why many homeowners choose seamless aluminum gutters over other types of gutters. Consider the following advantages:

• Durable, factory-applied finish. Aluminum gutters come with a factory-applied finish that is available in a wide variety of colors to match your home and/or roof. The finish won’t wear off or require maintenance unless you have to touch up scratched areas.
• No rust or corrosion. Aluminum won’t rust or corrode; it’s truly a no-maintenance material.
• Speedy installation. Skilled roofing contractors can usually complete a seamless gutter installation on an average-size house in a single day, as long as the fascia boards along the eaves are in good condition.
• Most affordable gutter option. Seamless aluminum gutters cost less than other types of gutters, including seamless copper gutters.
