Seamless Gutters Cut and Formed to Your Roofline
Traditional gutters come in short sections that are joined every few feet, and every joint is a spot that can open up, leak and clog. Seamless gutters are formed from a coil of metal into one long piece, cut to the length of each run on site. The result has joints only at the corners and ends, so there is far less to leak.
Gutters matter in Southwest Missouri because the rain here is heavy when it comes. A spring downpour can send hundreds of gallons off a roof in minutes. Gutters that are sized right and pitched properly carry that water to the downspouts; gutters that are not overflow against the siding and the foundation.
A seamless gutter job is as much about layout as materials: the run needs a slight slope toward each downspout, hangers need to be spaced and fastened to solid fascia and downspouts need to land where the water will move away from the house. Getting those right is what keeps the gutters working.
When to install new seamless gutters
- Your house has no gutters and water pours off the roof edge onto the ground
- Existing gutters leak at the joints, or have joints that keep pulling apart
- Water overflows in heavy rain even when the gutters are clean
- Splashing water is staining or eroding the siding, soil and foundation
- You are getting a new roof and the old gutters are sagging, rusted or damaged
- Fascia boards behind the gutters are stained or rotting from trapped water
How we install seamless gutters
Measure and plan the runs
We walk the roofline, measure each run and decide where downspouts will go so that water drains away from the house.
Check and prepare the fascia
Fascia boards are checked, and any rotted sections are repaired so the gutter has a solid surface to attach to.
Form the gutters on site
Gutter is formed from coil metal to the exact length of each run, which is why there are no seams along the straight sections.
Hang and slope the gutters
Hangers are installed at the correct spacing and the run is set at a slight pitch toward each downspout.
Add downspouts and test
Downspouts, outlets and end caps are installed and sealed, and we check that water flows where it should.
What affects the price of seamless gutters
Gutter jobs are priced by the roofline, and here is what changes the number:
- Total length of gutter, measured around the roofline
- Gutter size and style, and the metal and thickness used
- The number of downspouts and corners, which add fabrication
- Height and access: single-story versus two-story runs
- Fascia repair or replacement behind the gutters
- Whether old gutters have to be removed and hauled off
Why choose Elite for seamless gutters
Roofers see more gutter failures than anyone, because every roof leak that is really a gutter problem ends up on our schedule. That experience shows in how we pitch the runs, place the downspouts and handle the roof edge above them.
Because we do roofing and gutters together, a gutter job at the time of a new roof is simple to coordinate: one quote, one crew and no finger-pointing between the roof and the gutters.
We install gutters across Pierce City and the region. See our Pierce City roofing page and Springfield roofing page.
Seamless Gutter Installation FAQs
What makes a gutter "seamless"?
A seamless gutter is formed from a flat coil of metal, usually aluminum, into one continuous piece cut to the length of the run. There are no joints along the straight sections, so the only seams are at the corners and end caps.
How big should my gutters and downspouts be?
It depends on the size and pitch of the roof and how much water it sheds. Larger roofs and steeper pitches push more water at once, and a gutter that is too small overflows in a heavy rain. We size the gutters and downspouts to the roof, not to a default.
Where should the downspouts go?
At low points and corners, and in places that carry the water well away from the foundation. A downspout that empties next to the house defeats the point, so we plan where the water ends up, using extensions or splash blocks where needed.
Can new gutters be installed at the same time as a new roof?
Yes. The roof edge and fascia are accessible, so any rotted fascia can be fixed, and the drip edge and gutters can be set to work together. Ask for both in one quote.
Do I need to replace all my gutters, or can I add a section?
Seamless gutters are cut to the run, so an add-on usually means a new section with new seams. If your existing gutters are sagging or leaking in many places, replacing the whole run is generally the better value.
