Seamless Gutters
Do you have existing gutters in need of replacement? Or, do you have a new home and are looking for seamless gutters?
A Seamless Performance
Here are four reasons why Lone Star Roofing & Gutters recommends seamless gutters.
1. No seams, no snags.
The key word with gutters is "flow." When leaves, twigs, and other bits of debris become snagged in the seams of traditional gutters, then they catch other pieces of debris until you have a full-stop dam in your gutters. With seamless gutters, there are far fewer snag points.
2. Less maintenance.
Gutters are designed to carry their own weight and an average amount of rainwater. When bits of debris become trapped between joined sections, this soggy mess of decomposing organic material can weigh as much as an average size adult hanging on your gutters — day in, day out, until they are cleaned.
With fewer joints and no seams, LSR&G gutters have much less buildup and no sags, making them all the easier to maintain.
3. Reduced Risk of Leaks.
When a homeowner sees water spots on their ceiling they will often assume there is a hole somewhere in the roof. But, the most likely culprit is a leaky or overflowing gutter dripping water through the eaves. By going seamless, the risk of leaks forming is greatly reduced.
4. Longevity.
Since seamless gutters are not saddling the weight of leaves, and organic debris, there is less warpage, and that means a longer-lasting gutter system. Plus, LSR&G uses premium materials that last longer and are more reliable.

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.
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 rainwater continually overshooting your gutter system, a 6" 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 whether to install a 5", 6", or 7" 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.
