Gutter Installation in Baytown, Mont Belvieu, and the Surrounding East Houston, TX Areas
So, what exactly are seamless gutters? These gutters are made on-site using a machine mounted on a service vehicle. The reason for this is that they lack seams. Each section is precisely cut before being precisely constructed.
Copper, aluminum, and galvalume seamless gutters are installed by The Brothers that just do Gutters. They are available in half-round and “k” styles as well. Call us today at (346) 200-7975 for a gutter installation consultation!
Seamless Gutters VS. DIY Gutters
This is how the seamless gutter components are made. A high-quality gutter machine is required to make seamless gutters. Seamless gutters, as opposed to DIY gutters, are built as a single unit from various components and seams.
Seamless gutters outperform do-it-yourself gutters in four key ways:
- Installation
- Security And Strength
- Repairability
- Cost

Installing A Gutter System
The most noticeable difference is the setup. On-site installation of seamless gutters is accomplished by rolling a metal sheet through gutter-making equipment. The installer will then put the gutters up in continuous sections around the house.
Sectional gutter installation is a time-consuming task. Vinyl or plastic gutter components are frequently used. They are not as common as seamless gutters, primarily because they cannot be rolled up. Because each individual piece must be trimmed and caulked, installing a sectional gutter system takes significantly longer.
Security And Strengths
As a result, seamless gutters are favored over mitered gutters, which are less durable. The greater the number of gutter seams, the more likely a leak. Sectional gutters are more prone to damage than seamless gutters since they are constructed of softer materials.
Repairability
To repair a seamless system, the entire system must be replaced. As you may expect, this happens a lot during repairs. However, if the gutter system separates from the home, it is repairable.
Cost Comparison
At first glance, sectional gutter installation appears to be less expensive than seamless gutters. Although sectional gutters are more aesthetically beautiful, they are more expensive to install due to the extra caulking and time required. Sectional gutters are commonly installed by homeowners, despite the fact that they do not survive as long as seamless gutters. As a result, price rises in the future are possible.
Size Of Seamless Aluminum Gutters
A 5-inch seamless aluminum gutter is widely used in some areas of the country however, 6-inch gutters and 7-inch gutters are becoming increasingly popular. Seamless aluminum gutters also come in even larger sizes, which are typically industrial or commercial-style gutters.
The differences between 5-inch, 6-inch, and 7-inch gutters are their size, and the capacity of water they can hold. In cases where you often experience heavy rainfall and/or rainwater is continually overloading your gutter system, a 6” gutter or 7″ gutter system may be the best for your home.
In addition to climate; the roofline, surface area, and pitch of your roof are important factors in determining if you should install a 5-inch, 6-inch, or 7-inch gutter system. Interchanging two different sizes of gutter within the same gutter system can also be a cost-effective solution for areas of your home needing higher capacity.
