What Proper Gutters Actually Do

You’re not just buying gutters. You’re buying peace of mind during the next heavy storm.

When your gutters work right, water flows exactly where it should – away from your foundation, away from your basement, away from your landscaping. No more watching puddles form around your house during rainstorms. No more worrying about ice dams tearing up your roof in winter.

Seamless gutters eliminate the weak points that cause most gutter problems. Instead of multiple joints that leak and separate over time, you get one continuous piece that’s custom-fitted to your exact roofline. The water flows smoothly from your roof to the downspouts without backing up or spilling over the sides.

Trusted Lyme Gutter Company

We Know Connecticut Weather

Sullivan Contracting has been installing gutters for Connecticut homeowners who understand the difference between cheap and cost-effective. We’ve seen what happens when gutters fail during nor’easters, and we’ve fixed the damage that comes from cutting corners.

Connecticut weather doesn’t mess around. Heavy spring rains, summer thunderstorms, fall leaf loads, and winter freeze-thaw cycles – your gutters need to handle all of it. We use materials and installation methods that actually work in this climate.

When you call us, you’re working with contractors who live here too. We understand what Lyme homeowners deal with, and we install gutters the way we’d want them installed on our own homes.

Seamless Gutter Installation Process

How We Install Gutters Right

We start by measuring your roofline to determine the exact lengths needed. Every home is different, so every gutter system is custom-made on-site using our portable gutter machine.

Next, we remove your old gutters if needed and inspect the fascia boards for any damage that should be addressed before installation. We’re not going to hang new gutters on rotted wood – that’s just setting you up for problems later.

The new seamless gutters get installed with proper pitch toward the downspouts – usually about 1/4 inch per 10 feet of run. We secure them with heavy-duty hangers spaced correctly to handle Connecticut snow loads. Finally, we test the system with water to make sure everything flows properly and clean up completely before we leave.

What's Included With Your Installation

Your seamless gutter installation includes custom-formed gutters cut to exact specifications, professional-grade hangers and fasteners, properly sized downspouts, and all necessary elbows and end caps. We also install leaf guards if you want them – and in Lyme’s wooded areas, most homeowners do.

We handle the permit process if your town requires it, and we clean up all debris from the old gutters. You get a detailed estimate upfront so you know exactly what you’re paying for, and we warranty our installation work.

The materials we use are designed for New England weather. Heavy-gauge aluminum that won’t dent easily, brackets that can handle snow loads, and finishes that won’t fade or chalk over time. We’re not trying to be the cheapest option – we’re trying to be the last gutter company you’ll need to call.

How long do seamless gutters typically last in Connecticut?

Quality seamless gutters should last 20-30 years in Connecticut’s climate when properly installed and maintained. The key factors are using heavy-gauge materials, proper installation with adequate hangers, and keeping them clean of debris. Seamless gutters last longer than sectional gutters because they don’t have the joints that typically fail first. Connecticut’s freeze-thaw cycles can be hard on gutters, but good materials and installation handle this just fine. We’ve seen well-installed seamless gutters from the 1990s that are still working perfectly.

What's the difference between seamless and regular sectional gutters?

Seamless gutters are formed in one continuous piece for each run of your roofline, while sectional gutters come in standard lengths that get joined together. The joints in sectional gutters are where most leaks develop over time – the sealant fails, the pieces separate slightly, or debris gets caught and causes backup. Seamless gutters eliminate these weak points. They also look cleaner because there aren’t visible seams every 10 feet. The only joints in a seamless system are at corners and downspouts, which significantly reduces potential leak points.

How do I know if my current gutters need to be replaced?

Look for water stains on your siding below the gutters, peeling paint on the gutters themselves, or any visible sagging or separation at the joints. If you see water pooling around your foundation after rain, that’s a clear sign your gutters aren’t doing their job. Other red flags include rust spots, holes, or gutters pulling away from the house. If you’re constantly cleaning out clogs or dealing with overflow during moderate rainstorms, replacement usually makes more sense than endless repairs. Most sectional gutters need replacement after 15-20 years in Connecticut.

Should I install gutter guards with my new seamless gutters?

In Lyme’s wooded areas, gutter guards usually make sense. They won’t eliminate all maintenance, but they’ll significantly reduce how often you need to clean your gutters. The key is choosing guards that actually work – not the cheap screens that clog up with small debris. We recommend micro-mesh or solid guards with a small opening that lets water in but keeps most leaves and debris out. Factor in the cost of professional gutter cleaning twice a year, and guards often pay for themselves within a few years while reducing the safety risk of climbing ladders.

How much does seamless gutter installation typically cost?

Seamless gutter installation typically runs $8-15 per linear foot depending on your home’s complexity, the materials chosen, and what needs to be done with the old gutters. A typical Connecticut home needs 120-200 feet of gutters, so most installations range from $1,500-4,000. Factors that affect price include the height of your house, how many corners and downspouts are needed, fascia board repairs, and whether you add gutter guards. We provide detailed written estimates so you know exactly what you’re getting. Financing options are available for larger projects.

What maintenance do seamless gutters require after installation?

Seamless gutters need cleaning 1-2 times per year depending on your tree coverage – typically spring and fall. Check that downspouts are flowing freely and clear any debris from the gutter channels. Look for any loose hangers or minor damage after major storms. In winter, safely remove heavy snow loads if they build up significantly. The good news is seamless gutters require much less maintenance than sectional systems because there aren’t joints to reseal or sections that separate. Most homeowners can handle basic maintenance themselves, though many prefer to hire professionals for safety reasons.
