Your Quick Guide to Gutter Replacement

Good gutters are usually out of sight and out of mind. So when it does come time to replace your gutter system, you may be wondering where to start. With so many styles and materials, it can be confusing. So how do you pick what’s best for your home?

With a little knowledge, selecting gutters will be a breeze. Explore the basic looks and functions of each option with this simple guide to gutters.

Common Gutter Materials

Early gutter systems were made of burnt clay and stone. Wood was used later, then iron. But modern gutters come in a variety of materials, each with benefits and drawbacks. Your home’s style and location might suggest the best choice. 

– Aluminum gutters are cost-efficient and rustproof. For those reasons, they’re a popular choice.

– Galvanized or stainless steel
gutters are sturdy, and stainless steel can last for decades.


– Zinc or copper
gutters develop an aesthetically pleasing, rust-resistant patina over time. But they tend to cost more, so they’re often chosen for high-end homes. 

Common Gutter Styles

– Half-round gutters have a semicircular shape. Since they give water a smoother passage, they’re less prone to corrosion. The rounded style looks better on classic or older homes.


– K-style gutters mimic crown molding. They come in a variety of decorative styles and are more efficient at draining water.

Sectional vs. Seamless

Gutters also come in sectional and seamless varieties.

Sectional gutters are relatively inexpensive. But because they have more seams, there’s more potential for leaks. 

Seamless gutters are extruded to fit your home. They’re sturdier and watertight — and typically cost more.

Whatever you choose, your home deserves the best care and protection. If you have questions about home services, reach out today.
