Sectional vs. Seamless Gutters
As many homeowners know, sectional gutters are less costly than seamless gutters. So, what you should ask yourself is, “Is a cheaper cost really an advantage when it comes to protecting the most valuable asset I own?” In other words, does a sectional gutter improve your home’s ROI, or merely limits it?
Many homeowners choose sectional gutters because they’re D.I.Y. They’re easy to install and put together! Because of this, we want to share why doing your research can make for a better solution for your home. By reading this post, we want you to consider the pros and cons of both gutter systems. Bottom line, seamless gutters improve ROI in the long term!
Differences Between Sectional and Seamless Gutters
The differences between a sectional gutter and a seamless one are clear! Sectional gutters are installed in sections and have a seam that’s easy to notice. On the other hand, seamless gutters are installed in a long run made from one solid piece of aluminum. They are seamless because they’re made in one run.
Andy’s Aluminum Gutters uses a special machine to unroll gutter materials along the edge of your home’s roof seamlessly. Yes, seamless gutters will cost more to install, but the return on investment will make a seamless gutter installation worth every penny!
1. All Custom-Cut
Seamless gutters are in one solid strip that is custom-fit to the edge of your roof. This allows your new gutters to have the most precise measurement. It also ensures that they work to move water away from your roof and home quickly and easily!
2. Less Debris Build-Up
Compared to sectional gutters, seamless gutters do not have lips or joints where leaves, dirt, and other debris will collect over time. This is a HUGE advantage for all homeowners because it means minimal maintenance year long. This allows you to avoid any painful falls or injuries that can be caused by trying to clear out your sectional gutters on your own.
3. Fewer Joints
The fact is, seamless gutters have less joints which becomes beneficial in many ways. First, there is less debris build-up, resulting in less overall maintenance and upkeep, but it also becomes a visually appealing aspect to your home. Less gutter joints make for a much cleaner, and more attractive look for your home, adding to your homes curb appeal and overall property value.
4. Fewer Leaks
All sectional gutters have joints where the two sections come together, and as time passes, spaces develop in these sections, allowing rainwater and small debris to leak through. You’ve most likely seen gutters that drip and leak during and after storms, leaving puddles of water all around the foundation of a house, which in turn can lead to even bigger structural problems. This issue essentially disappears with professionally installed seamless gutters from Andy’s Aluminum Gutters in Cape Coral FL.
5. Appearance
Seamless gutters create an attractive gutter system — sleek, smooth, and lacking the gaps between joints commonly seen in sectional gutter systems.

Potential homebuyers will appreciate the extra detail of a seamless gutter system, as they are considered far more attractive than their sectional gutter counterparts.
6. Less Maintenance
With less chances for leaks or clogs, seamless gutters cause minimal maintenance compared to sectional gutters. Clearing out your sectional gutters can be dangerous and hazardous and result in serious injuries. You will 100% enjoy the benefit of Andy’s seamless gutters on your home.

Another investment advantage of seamless gutters is their impressively long lifespan. Seamless gutter materials are much more durable and will withstand the Florida weather much better compared to conventional sectional gutter systems.
