When it rains, it pours.

 Why Seamless Gutters rather than traditional gutters?  We make sure to install your house with gutters that are customized for each property.  The gutters are measured again before installing to meet the lengths of the house and fit the dimensions of your roof.  Then the gutters are formed there, not in a shop.  Cosmetically they are more pleasing to the eye.   Most gutters can be painted to match the exterior, for instance, the house is painted later or if you have a specific color you want to match and have a baked-on enamel finish.  You can choose the color you would like to be installed and it comes from the supply house to yours that way. The configuration of the seamless gutters makes them function properly and makes it easier for water to flow through the gutter and downspout.   

You may think seamless gutters is more costly, but in the end you will be spending less money over the years, being that you will have less maintenance and repair.

 We install aluminum gutters. Our preferred choice is .027 inches (gauge).  They are weatherproof and lightweight.  Aluminum or copper; copper is quite more expensive, but there are colors that resemble it.  The aluminum lasts for many years without rusting.   

           Gutters divert water away from your house when rainy days happen to protect our home.  They help in preventing the pooling water and issues leading to structural damage and serious erosion of your foundation and can leave the area unsanitary with stagnant water.  Avoiding this may help you to avoid having to pay for expensive repairs because of mold, saturation, and erosion on your pavers, pool, turf, foundation and walls etc.  Gutters keep water from streaming down your walls and keeps things like your foundation, siding and other places of the house where water pools.  When water accumulates around the foundation, erosion, cracks and shifting becomes a problem and quite often a pricy one.  It can also cause headaches when soil is involved such as infestations of termites, mosquitos and problems such as mold, dead grass and root rot among all things. 


When it rains, the water trinkles off the edge of the roof eave, falls straight down, and damages the siding, foundations etc. and causes dips in the landscape.  When the gutters accumulate rainwater, it needs to exit the gutter several feet away.  Because of this necessity, a downspout is needed and is traditionally used (some people choose to not have one or for example, a rain chain which are a few alternatives).

Downspouts move the water from the gutter to the ground, keeping the rainwater from the eroding of your home's foundation by directing it away from your home.  Without them, gutters would collect water and overflow, causing the water to gradually wear away the roof, siding and elsewhere.  Even with the curvature on top and bottom to better direct the water, this isn't always enough to make sure water doesn't pond at the base of your home.  This is where gutter extensions are helpful.  A downspout extension pipe, burying it underground (with a French drain), a rain barrel, splash blocks or any kind of storage receptacle, are all different examples one can choose to go with, if any, ensuring the water is diverted away from your home. Some of the most common options include gutter extensions which include plastic or aluminum that attach to the end of your downspout.  The plastic ones are flexible attachments that can be turned in either direction, extended further by attaching more together.  They are easy to attach and you can easily find them.  Places that endure more rainfall, a water collector or an extension is helpful in diverting water.

 With rain gutters directing the water away from the exterior siding, there is less likely interior flooding from water coming off the roof.

 Maintaining your gutter system
 Keeping up with cleaning your gutters help maintain the longevity of them.  This also protects your home's exterior against pest infestations and costly repairs.  Gutter cleaning should be taken into consideration at least once a year.  If your area has heavy storms, monsoons or many large trees, you may want to consider cleaning more frequently.  Clogs are likely to happen since debris can build up gradually. Clear away the remnants of anything tied to the gutter system.  

            With seamless gutters, you spend less time cleaning since there are fewer joints which collect less debris and not as enticing to critters.  The fewer joints lower the chances of leaks and rust as with traditional gutters,   There is a possibility of leakage because two sections are met with a joint.     Debris can get lodged in the sections where the joints connect.  Seamless gutters usually have joints at the corners or at the downspouts.  They are generally safe from clogs where the water can't flow as needed.

 
Note: Seamless gutters can potentially run the entire side of the roof without a joint, but certain lengths and above, an expansion break is necessary.  This is due to performance issues having to do with thermal expansion and contraction.  This means certain materials (i.e. Aluminum) contract and expand because of temperature change.  This term pertains to places like Arizona with its extreme fluctuations of heat. 
 
If you live in an area where it rains, installing gutters is a necessary thing to do. Having gutters and downspouts protects the value of your investment and safeguarding against major structural repairs.
