When the gutters on your roof leak, this can cause drainage issues around the perimeter of your home. Standing water can permeate the foundation and it’s also an attraction for mosquitoes. To ensure that the gutters on your home won’t leak, contact a company that installs Seamless Gutters in Westchester County NY. Read these frequently asked questions to learn more about this type of guttering system.
Q.) What are the differences between seamless gutters and regular gutters?
A.) Traditional gutters are manufactured in sections that are joined together with a sealant during installation. Due to age and wear, the joints can come apart and leak. Seamless gutters are installed in one complete piece, so there’s no chance of leakage. Regular gutters are installed in lengths of 10 feet, while seamless gutters are measured on site and cut to size from a continuous roll.
Q.) How are seamless gutters attached to the roof?
A.) The installation crew will attach durable hangers to your home and roof to secure the seamless gutters. The brackets are attached with screws, so they won’t pull out and cause the gutters to sag. Since the brackets are hardly noticeable, the attachment system doesn’t take away from the appearance of the gutters.
Q.) How long will it take a contractor to install Seamless Gutters in Westchester County NY?
A.) The time it will take the installation crew to install your gutters will depend on the size and architectural design of your home. Most of the time, the gutters can be installed in only one day. When you contact a company to install your gutters, the contractor will give you a time estimate.
Q.) Are there different colors of seamless gutters available?
A.) You’ll be able to choose from a wide array of colors when you have seamless gutters installed. Color selections include white, cream, gray, tan, red and green. With so many choices available, you’ll be able to color coordinate your gutters with the color of your siding material.
