Probably the most important decision you will have to make when deciding to get new gutters is whether to get seamed gutters or to go seamless. Many homeowners prefer seamed or sectional gutters because they are less expensive and easier to install, but if your budget allows, getting seamless gutters is definitely worth the extra cost. In today’s post, trusted roof repair services provider Genesis Roofing explains why.
What Are Seamless Gutters?
Just as the name suggests, seamless gutters are a single piece of gutter, often cut from a single-coil piece of metal, typically aluminum and copper, that are made using a specialized gutter machine. While they are definitely more expensive than sectional gutters, they also offer more benefits that, in the long run, will far outweigh the initial cost:
A Perfect Fit
Since seamless gutters will be made specifically for your home, you are guaranteed a perfect fit. They will not only look better and increase the value and curb appeal of your house, they will also function better.
Durability
Most gutter and roof replacement experts will tell you that you are better off with seamless gutters. Since damage typically occurs in the seams which are the weakest points in your gutter system, getting seamless gutters eliminates this problem and will last longer than sectional gutters while also requiring less maintenance.
Fewer Backups
The joints and seams of sectional gutters will often collect debris like twigs and leaves. This accumulation, if left unchecked, will lead to damaging clogs and backups which has the potential to wreak havoc on your roofing system.
