When your gutters develop widespread rust, leaks, and holes, upgrading them will help protect the home from water damage. Seamless gutters are some of the most reliable, as each side of your home will feature a single piece of metal, rather than seamed varieties that join together in sections. This reduces the amount of joints and potential weak spots for leaks, ensuring water drains away safely. Below are several reasons to consider this update. 

Why Should You Upgrade to Seamless Gutters?

1. Customized Fit

After scheduling installation for seamless gutters, your contractors will arrive and measure the sides of your roofing system. This allows them to cut individual metal pieces that accommodate the home and provide a perfect fit. This is beneficial because traditional gutters come in small sections that contractors bolt together, increasing the amount of weak points throughout the system. Furthermore, you will save money with seamless varieties because you only pay for the exact materials you need.

2. Improved Aesthetics

A seamless gutter installation will boost the overall look of the property and help you maintain a cohesive design for many years. Because seamless products are made to order, you can have them painted to match the hues of your siding and molding. Additionally, since there are no unsightly seams or installation gaps, the home will have a streamlined, modern look. 

3. Increased Functionality

Rainwater flows quickly and efficiently through a seamless roof drainage system. When you have multiple sections, the hardware that holds them in place creates more spots for rust to corrode the metal, increasing the risk that rain will pool around the home’s foundation and enter the basement. There’s also a lower chance of clogs forming because leaves and twigs won't stick in seam connection areas. Clogged gutters also allow water to back up under roofing shingles, an issue that seamless versions eliminate. 

4. Reduced Maintenance

Since clogs won't form as often, you will not have to spend as much time clearing them from your drainage system. Even if leaves and twigs do accumulate, clogs won’t be as severe and labor-intensive because you won't have to clear the debris out of tight seams. This gives you more time to relax or focus on other home improvement projects.
