How often should gutters be cleaned?

Gutters should be cleaned often enough to ensure they drain during rain, which is usually 1 to 3 times a year. However, the frequency may vary depending on the amount of debris in the area.

What is the best gutter material?

Seamless aluminum gutters are the most popular type for residential use because they are lightweight and strong, and come in many colors.

What is the most common gutter profile?

K-Style gutters are a popular profile used. Due to the amount of bends in a K-Style gutter, they are extremely strong, whilst providing a great aesthetic.

Why are gutters important?

Gutters protect the structural integrity of a home by directing rainwater away from the foundation, which can prevent water damage, cracks, and mold growth.

What are seamless gutters?

Seamless gutters are a type of gutter that is made without a break or seam, except at the inside and outside corners. They are usually made from aluminum or copper, and are customized to fit each home.

How do seamless gutters differ from sectional gutters?

Seamless gutters have fewer seams and joints than standard gutters, which means they are less likely to leak.

Are seamless gutters worth it?

Seamless gutters are more durable and efficient than traditional gutters, which last much longer and require less maintenance. They can also increase the value of your home.

How long do seamless gutters last?

Seamless gutters can last over 20 years, even with low maintenance.

Signs include:

o Peeling paint
o Rotted wood
