Gutter installation may be a daunting task, from choosing the right style to canvassing roof repair companies to handle the job. When choosing the right gutter system to fit your home, you might ask yourself – “seams or no seams?” Seamed or sectional gutters are formed by joining gutter sections together by fastening them at their seams. On the other hand, seamless gutters use a proprietary gutter machine to create them. Seamed gutters may look appealing due to their ease of installation, but you’ll find out later on that the benefits of seamless gutters outweigh their cost upfront.

Easier to Install
While sectional gutters can be assembled on your own, it is definitely time-consuming as if you’re forming a puzzle and trying to fit them all together. With seamless gutters, they fit true-to-size and are custom-made to match the dimensions of your roof seamlessly – staying true to their name.
Easy Maintenance
Sectional gutters are joined by fasteners, which may create gaps if they are not installed correctly, and that will cause issues in the long run. Opting for seamless gutters will reduce the chance of clogging and requires less cleaning compared to sectional gutters. This, in turn, reduces the need for roof maintenance.
Added Versatility
Seamless gutters come in many materials and colors, giving you an array of options to choose from and match the style that fits your home.
Long-Term Savings
On paper, sectional gutters are cheaper, but will cost you more in the long run due to requiring more maintenance and repairs throughout the unit’s lifespan. Seamless gutters are more durable and don’t require as many replacement parts, which leaves you with more savings in the long run.
