What Proper Gutters Actually Do

Your gutters aren’t just metal hanging from your roof. They’re your home’s first line of defense against water damage that can cost thousands to repair.

When seamless gutters are installed correctly, water flows exactly where it should. No more watching rain pour over the sides during storms. No more finding puddles against your foundation after every heavy rain. No more wondering if that dampness in your basement is going to turn into a bigger problem.

The difference is in the details. Proper pitch ensures water moves toward downspouts instead of pooling. Quality materials handle Connecticut’s freeze-thaw cycles without cracking. And seamless construction eliminates the weak points where sectional gutters always seem to fail.

Exeter Gutter Company

We Know Connecticut Weather

Sullivan Contracting has been handling gutter installations in Exeter and surrounding Connecticut communities for years. We understand what works here and what doesn’t.

Connecticut weather is tough on gutters. Spring storms, summer downpours, fall leaf loads, and winter ice dams all test your gutter system. We size and install gutters that handle these conditions without constant maintenance calls.

Our approach is straightforward. We measure carefully, install properly, and use materials that last. No overselling, no cutting corners, no surprises.

Seamless Gutter Installation Process

How We Install Your Gutters

First, we measure your roofline and calculate the proper gutter size based on your roof area and Connecticut’s rainfall data. This isn’t guesswork – undersized gutters overflow, and oversized gutters look wrong and don’t function properly.

Next, we fabricate your gutters on-site to exact measurements. Seamless gutters are formed from continuous aluminum coil, so there are no joints except at corners and downspout connections. This eliminates the most common failure points.

Installation involves securing gutters with proper hangers spaced correctly for our snow loads. We set the pitch so water flows efficiently toward downspouts without creating standing water. Downspouts are positioned to direct water away from your foundation and landscaping.

We clean up completely and walk you through the installation so you know what to expect from your new gutter system.

All installations include a thorough cleanup and inspection. We test water flow and make any necessary adjustments before considering the job complete. You’ll also receive guidance on basic maintenance to keep your gutters functioning properly for years.

How long do seamless gutters last in Connecticut?

Quality seamless gutters typically last 20-30 years in Connecticut’s climate when properly installed and maintained. The key factors are using appropriate gauge aluminum, proper installation techniques, and regular cleaning. Connecticut’s freeze-thaw cycles and heavy precipitation can stress gutter systems, but seamless construction eliminates the joint failures that plague sectional gutters. The continuous design and quality materials we use are specifically chosen to handle our regional weather patterns, including ice dams and heavy snow loads that are common in the Exeter area.

What size gutters do I need for my home?

Most Connecticut homes need 5-inch or 6-inch gutters, depending on roof area and pitch. We calculate the required size based on your specific roof’s square footage and Connecticut’s rainfall intensity data. Undersized gutters overflow during heavy storms, while oversized gutters look disproportionate and don’t self-clean effectively. The calculation also considers factors like roof pitch, which affects water velocity, and the number and placement of downspouts. During our estimate, we measure your roof area and determine the optimal gutter size to handle our typical spring storms and summer downpours without overflow.

Can you install gutters in winter?

We can install gutters during Connecticut winters when conditions allow, though spring and fall are optimal. Installation depends on temperature (aluminum becomes brittle in extreme cold), precipitation, and safe working conditions. Winter installations require extra care with material handling and may take longer due to weather delays. However, if you’re dealing with ice dams or immediate drainage issues, winter installation might be necessary to prevent further damage. We monitor weather conditions closely and will reschedule if conditions aren’t safe for quality installation. Most homeowners prefer to schedule installation during milder months when we can work more efficiently.

How much do seamless gutters cost to install?

Seamless gutter installation costs vary based on linear footage, gutter size, downspout requirements, and site-specific factors like roof height and accessibility. We provide detailed estimates that break down material and labor costs so you understand exactly what you’re paying for. Factors affecting price include the number of corners, downspouts needed, and any custom work required for your home’s architecture. While seamless gutters cost more upfront than sectional gutters, they eliminate ongoing repair costs and last significantly longer. We’ll provide a clear, written estimate during our site visit so you can make an informed decision without surprises.

Do seamless gutters prevent ice dams?

Seamless gutters don’t prevent ice dams, but they handle them better than sectional gutters. Ice dams form when heat escapes through your roof, melting snow that refreezes at the roof edge. Proper gutter installation includes adequate clearance for ice expansion and strong hangers that won’t pull away under ice load. The seamless design eliminates joints where ice typically causes sectional gutters to separate. While preventing ice dams requires addressing roof insulation and ventilation, quality gutters minimize damage when ice dams do occur. We install gutters with Connecticut’s winter conditions in mind, using appropriate materials and techniques to handle ice loads.

How often should I clean my seamless gutters?

In Connecticut, clean your gutters at least twice yearly – late spring after tree pollen and fall after leaves drop. Homes with many trees overhead may need more frequent cleaning. Seamless gutters actually stay cleaner longer than sectional gutters because there are no joints where debris typically catches and accumulates. However, downspouts and corners still collect leaves and debris that can cause clogs. Regular cleaning prevents water backup that can damage gutters, fascia, and your home’s foundation. We recommend inspecting gutters after major storms and clearing any visible blockages promptly. Proper maintenance extends gutter life and ensures they function correctly during heavy rainfall.
