Gutters are the least glamorous part of your home and one of the most important. They move thousands of gallons of water off your roof and away from your foundation every year.
Why seamless?
Sectional gutters have seams every few feet — and seams are where leaks start. Seamless aluminum gutters are formed on-site to the exact length of your roofline, so there are no joints to fail. They look cleaner and last longer.
What good gutters protect
- Your foundation — by directing water away, preventing cracks and basement leaks.
- Your siding & fascia — from overflow and rot.
- Your roof — by preventing backups and ice dams at the eaves.
- Your landscaping — from erosion.
Gutter guards — worth it in NJ?
If you have trees, yes. New Jersey's mix of oaks, maples and pines fills gutters with leaves and needles. Gutter guards keep debris out so water flows freely, reduce cleaning, and help prevent the clogs that cause ice dams and overflow in winter.
Sizing & pitch matter
Properly sized gutters (5" or 6"), correct pitch, and enough downspouts are what actually prevent overflow in heavy NJ downpours. Lightning measures and forms seamless gutters on-site for a perfect fit. See our gutters page.
