Gutter Materials
Gutters are made from several different types of materials. Aluminum gutters, steel gutters, copper gutters, zinc gutters are just a few of the choices that consumers have when choosing gutters for their home.

Copper Gutters
Copper gutters and zinc gutters are often strong choices for custom homes and architecturally significant homes that require a more traditional look. Copper gutters and zinc gutters often cost more, but are aesthetically pleasing and tend to perform better over time.

Steel Gutters
Steel gutters can be a durable and cost-effective choice for retro-fit gutter systems. While steel gutters are often compared with aluminum gutters, they each have their benefits and drawbacks.

Aluminum Gutters
Aluminum gutters are a popular and cost-effective choice for retro-fit gutter systems. Aluminum gutters are installed by the great majority of gutter installers, and have been embraced by homeowners because of their light weight and the variety of colors aluminum gutters come in.

Half Round Gutters
Half round gutters look just like their name implies: like a pipe cut in half. Half round gutters are often used for custom homes or prestige homes, and are generally not used by anyone but the most discriminating homeowners.

Seamless Gutters
Seamless gutters are among the most popular gutters for homeowners. Seamless gutters are formed specifically for each home so that there are no sections of "seams." Seamless gutters experience less leakage, though they can sag if they are not installed properly.

Sectional Gutters
Sectional gutters are gutters that are pre-cut in lengths, then attached together along the roofline of the home. Sectional gutters come in 10 or 20 foot lengths, and then are cut to match the exact measure of the home and roofline.

Gutter Colors
Gutter colors have increased dramatically over the past 40 years with the invention of new gutter materials. Aluminum gutters have allowed paints and coatings that give gutter colors a tremendous range and variety.

Gutter Sizes
Gutter size refers to the width of the opening at the top of the gutters, Gutter sizes are generally 5, 6 or 7 inches. The proper gutter size depends on your home, your roofline, average rainfall and a host of
other factors.

Gutter Coatings
Many gutters develop a coating over their lifetime, especially those made from organic metals such as steel, aluminum and zinc. These gutter coatings protect the metals over time, in response to the water and elements that continually batter your gutters.

Gutter Installation
Gutter installation is often taken for granted on the home.

Warped Gutters
Gutters can often warp and sag under years of strain from rain, snow, ice, wind and a host of other hazards. Warped gutters and sagging gutters can cause major problems for your home, and often require the services of a trained gutter installer.

Clogged Gutters
Clogged gutters and leaves in gutters are a real problem for many homeowners.

Clogged gutters and debris in gutters can often be cleared by gutter cleaners, or stopped through gutter protection.

Ice Dams & Frozen Gutters
Ice dams and frozen gutters can not only harm your gutters, but they can cause major damage to the interior and exterior of your home. Ice dams and ice damage are a leading cause of homeowner problems in the winter, and are best addressed before the cold and ice of the winter appear.

Clean Gutters
Clean gutters contribute to a safe and happy home. When gutters are clean, rain water and melting snow flow freely and harmlessly away from the home. Clean gutter practices are important to maintain a safe, consistent gutter system that will protect your home for years.
