Before we head into summer, it's always good to check your gutters to make sure they are ready to handle another rainy June in Minnesota, especially if you have traditional sectional gutters.
Some sections may have developed leaks from heavy rains or even started to sag from the weight of leaves last autumn. While we love our native trees that make our Twin Cities burst with color in the fall, the leaves can seriously clog gutters and downspouts, causing them to bend, crack, or even break, especially as our gutter systems age.
Seamless Gutters vs. Traditional Gutters
If your sectional gutters are old or you notice any problems, it may be time to consider replacing them. But what type of gutter is right for your home? If you are looking for durable but modern gutters, you may want to consider seamless gutters. Unlike an old-style sectional gutter system, seamless gutters are not connected by the joints and seams that are prone to rust and leaks that damage your roof or foundation.
Seamless gutters run your roof's length. After precise measuring, each single piece is custom cut to make a perfect fit possible. Regular gutters are precut sections fitted during installation and are not tailored for your home.
Long-lasting, high-quality seamless gutters are available in aluminum, steel, and copper. They are also resistant to rust. Like sectional systems, seamless aluminum gutters, steel gutters, and downspouts come in a variety of colors, while copper gutters will age beautifully with a bluish-green patina.
Investing in Seamless Gutters
It is true that seamless gutters cost more to install and repair than traditional gutters. If a seamless portion breaks, the entire single length of gutter needs to be replaced, not just a section. Regular gutters are a cheaper alternative all around.
However, because of the seller's market in real estate these days, many homeowners in cities such as Medina, Orono, Wayzata, Deephaven, and Minnetonka purchase a seamless gutter system as an investment built to withstand the Minnesota weather and outlast the traditional gutter. In addition, the wide range of styles and colors available make seamless gutters an easy and value-adding complement to any home.
