What Proper Gutters Actually Do

You get gutters that move water away from your foundation instead of dumping it right next to your house. No more worrying about basement leaks every time it rains hard.

Your landscaping stays intact because water flows where it should instead of creating erosion channels around your property. The constant cycle of cleaning, repairing, and replacing problematic gutters ends.

Seamless gutters eliminate the weak points where sections connect. That means fewer leaks, less maintenance, and a system that actually works the way gutters are supposed to work.

Gales Ferry Gutter Company

We Install Gutters Right the First Time

Sullivan Contracting has been handling gutter installations throughout Gales Ferry and southeastern Connecticut for years. We know what works in this climate and what doesn’t.

Connecticut weather is tough on gutters. Heavy snow loads, ice formation, and the freeze-thaw cycles we get here will find every weak point in a gutter system. That’s why we focus on seamless installation with proper pitch and secure mounting.

You’re dealing with a local contractor who understands the specific challenges your home faces and has the experience to address them properly.

Seamless Gutter Installation Process

Here's How We Handle Your Installation

We start by measuring your roofline and calculating the proper pitch for water flow. Every home is different, and the pitch has to be right or water will pool instead of flowing toward the downspouts.

Next, we fabricate your gutters on-site to the exact measurements of your home. Seamless gutters are formed from continuous coils of aluminum, so you get pieces that fit your house perfectly without joints every ten feet.

Installation involves securing the gutters with proper hangers spaced correctly for Connecticut snow loads. We install downspouts where they’ll move water away from your foundation and landscaping. The whole process typically takes one day for most homes.

What's Included in Your Gutter Installation

You get custom-fabricated seamless gutters cut to your exact measurements. We use quality aluminum that won’t rust or deteriorate like the thin-gauge material some contractors use.

All hangers and mounting hardware are sized for Connecticut weather conditions. We’re not using the same mounting system here that works in Florida. Your gutters need to handle snow loads and ice formation.

Downspouts are positioned to direct water away from your foundation and high-traffic areas. We include splash blocks or recommend extensions where needed to prevent erosion. Clean-up is part of the job, so you’re not left dealing with metal shavings and packaging materials.

How long do seamless gutters typically last compared to sectional gutters?

Seamless gutters typically last 20-30 years with proper installation, compared to 10-15 years for sectional gutters. The key difference is that seamless gutters eliminate the joints where most failures occur. Sectional gutters have seams every 10 feet that can separate, leak, or collect debris. With seamless gutters, you only have joints at corners and downspout connections, which significantly reduces potential failure points. The continuous aluminum construction also handles thermal expansion and contraction better than multiple connected sections.

What's the difference between 5-inch and 6-inch gutters for my home?

Most homes work fine with 5-inch gutters, but 6-inch gutters handle more water volume and are better for homes with steep roofs or large roof areas. In Connecticut, where we get heavy downpours and rapid snowmelt, 6-inch gutters provide extra capacity that prevents overflow. They’re also less likely to clog because debris has more room to flow through. The downside is higher cost and a more prominent appearance on your home. We typically recommend 6-inch gutters for homes over 2,500 square feet or properties with multiple roof valleys that concentrate water flow.

How do you determine the proper pitch for gutters on my house?

Gutters need to slope toward downspouts at a rate of about 1/4 inch per 10 feet of run. Too little slope and water pools in the gutters, creating mosquito breeding areas and potential ice dam problems. Too much slope and water moves too fast, potentially overshooting the downspouts during heavy rain. We use a level and measuring tools to establish the proper pitch, taking into account your home’s existing lines and the location of downspouts. The goal is effective drainage that doesn’t look obviously sloped from the ground.

Can seamless gutters be installed on any type of roof or home style?

Seamless gutters work on virtually all home styles and roof types, but the installation approach varies. Complex rooflines with multiple angles require more precise measuring and cutting. Homes with decorative trim or unusual eave configurations may need custom mounting solutions. Very steep roofs might require additional hangers for proper support. Historic homes sometimes have specific requirements about gutter style and color. We evaluate each home individually to determine the best approach and ensure the installation both functions properly and maintains your home’s appearance.

What maintenance do seamless gutters require after installation?

Seamless gutters require less maintenance than sectional gutters, but they still need periodic cleaning and inspection. You should clean them at least twice a year, typically in late spring and fall, to remove leaves and debris. Check that water flows properly toward downspouts and that there’s no standing water. Inspect the mounting brackets annually to ensure they’re secure, especially after heavy snow loads. Look for any dents or damage that could affect water flow. With proper installation and basic maintenance, seamless gutters should provide years of trouble-free service.

How much does seamless gutter installation typically cost in Connecticut?

Seamless gutter installation costs vary based on your home’s size, complexity, and material choices, but expect to invest between $8-15 per linear foot for quality installation in Connecticut. Factors affecting price include roof height, number of corners and downspouts needed, gutter size, and local labor costs. While seamless gutters cost more upfront than sectional gutters, they typically save money long-term through reduced maintenance and longer lifespan. We provide detailed estimates that break down materials and labor costs, so you understand exactly what you’re paying for and can make an informed decision.
