Seamless Gutters VS. DIY Gutters
When we speak of DIY gutters, we are referring to sectional gutters. For seamless gutters, a professional-grade guttering machine is necessary. Sectional gutters differ from do-it-yourself gutters due to their seams and piece-by-piece construction.
There are four main differences between DIY gutters and seamless gutters that are significant.
- Installation
- Security And Strength
- Repairability
- Cost

Installing A Gutter System
The most visible change is the installation. For seamless gutter fabrication on-site, a metal sheet must be rolled through gutter-forming equipment. Installer runs it down the side of the house to secure it.
Gutter Installation of sectional gutters requires significantly more time and work. Sectional gutters made of vinyl or plastic are the most frequent type. Due to the inability to roll these materials, they are not as commonly available as seamless gutters. Installation of a sectional gutter system takes significantly more time since each component must be mitered and glued.
Security And Strengths
Typically, seamless gutters are more durable since there are no miters joining the components. The presence of additional gutter seams increases the chance of a leak. Due to the composition of their components, sectional gutters are also less durable and more susceptible to damage.
Repairability
A seamless system is more difficult to maintain because it must be periodically reconstructed in its entirety. This is a regular occurrence while repairing anything. However, if the gutter system becomes detached from the house, it can be repaired.
Cost Comparison
It appears that seamless gutters are more expensive than segmented gutter installation. The expense of installing sectional gutters, on the other hand, is comparable because it involves more parts, caulking, and equipment. Sectional gutters are less durable and less likely to last as long as seamless gutters since homeowners are more likely to install them. This could result in price rises in the future.
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. 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 overshooting 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.
