Seamless Gutter Installation

What are seamless gutters? They are rain gutters that we create on-site with a gutter machine mounted
to a service truck. The simple answer to the question, is they have no seams. They get custom
measurements, and they are installed on-site in one continuous run.
Coastal Gutters and Roofing of MHC offer seamless gutter installation in various materials including
copper, aluminum, and galvalume. We offer them in k-style.

Seemless Gutters Vs. DIY Gutters

When we refer to DIY gutters, we are talking about sectional gutters. To manufacture gutters that are
seamless, you need a professional-grade gutter machine. DIY gutters (sectional) differ because sectional
gutters are installed in pieces and have seams.

When comparing seamless gutters vs. DIY gutters, there are some big differences between them in
these four major categories:

-Installation
-Security And Strength
-Repair Ability
-Cost

Installing A Gutter System

The biggest difference is installation. Seamless gutter installation means that gutters are made

on-site by rolling a metal sheet through a gutter-forming machine. Then the installer secures it
to the side of the home in a continuous run.

Sectional gutters are much more difficult and time-consuming to install. Sectional gutters are

most made of vinyl or plastic. These types of materials are not available as a seamless gutter
since these materials cannot be made into a roll form. As a sectional gutter system is installed,
each section must be mitered and sealed together making the installation process much longer.

Security And Strengths

Seamless gutters are typically stronger simply because they do not have miters joining pieces
together. The more seams a gutter system has, the higher the potential is for leaks. Sectional
gutters are also less sturdy due to the materials used, making them more susceptible to
damage.

Repair Ability

Repairing a seamless system is more difficult since the entire system will typically be in need of a
replacement. This tends to happen in the process of repair. However, in the event the gutter
system comes off the house, a repair can address this issue.

Cost Comparison

You may assume that sectional gutters are less expensive than the cost of seamless gutters. But
the cost is nearly identical because of all the extra pieces, caulking, and tools needing to
complete a sectional gutter install. Also, because sectional gutters may be less sturdy and are
often a DIY installation, they are not likely to last as long as a seamless gutter installation. This
may mean more costs in the future.

Cost Estimates for Homes
Size Of Seamless Aluminum Gutters
A 5-inch seamless aluminum gutter is widely used in some areas of the country however, 6-inchgutters are becoming increasingly popular. Seamless aluminum gutters also come in even larger sizes, which are typically industrial or commercial-style gutters.
