Replacing sectional gutters in Cottondale
Sectional gutter comes in short lengths joined together along the wall, and every one of those joints is sealed by hand. They were all sealed at the same time, so they age together. When they start leaking one after another, a replacement is quoted in place of more resealing.
Seamless gutter is formed on site from a coil. Each run comes off the machine at the length of the roof edge it hangs on, so the only joints left are at corners and where downspouts connect.
Old system off
The sectional gutters, their hangers and the downspouts come off the building, and we haul them away.
New runs
Six-inch seamless gutter is standard.
Trim color
The new gutters come in a color chosen to go with the trim.
Downspouts
New downspouts go up with the new runs, and their spots can change if the water should land somewhere else.
When sectional gutter can stay
Not every sectional system has to come down. If one joint drips or one length is dented and the rest is sound, that joint is resealed or that length is swapped out. If one side of the building has failed and the others have not, that side alone can be replaced.

What goes into a replacement price
You get one written number for the whole replacement. It comes from:
Total run length
How many feet of eave the new seamless gutter has to cover.
Number of stories
Upper-story runs need more setup to reach safely than ground-floor ones.
Fittings
The count of corners, end caps and downspouts on the building.
Additions to the job
Guards over the new runs, gutters for edges that have none, or a detached garage.
Water behind the gutter
Rain running down behind the gutter
If water streams down the fascia or the wall behind the gutter, the rain is getting past the gutter instead of into it. That comes from where the gutter sits, not from how clean it is.
From the ground it shows as drips falling between the gutter and the house, dark streaks or peeling paint on the fascia board, or a wet line down the wall under the eave while the gutter itself looks clear. It can happen on sectional and seamless gutter alike.
Hung too low
Water leaving the roof falls behind the back edge. The gutter is raised so its back edge sits up under the roof edge.
Pulled away from the fascia
A gap opens between the gutter and the board it hangs on, and water runs down the gap. The run is drawn back tight and refastened.
Sloped the wrong way
A run that falls away from its outlet holds water at one end until it spills over the back. The hangers are reset so it falls toward the downspout.
On a replacement
New runs are hung at the right height and fall from the start, so the problem is dealt with as part of the job.
Downspouts
Downspouts on the new system
Position
Each outlet goes where the water can run off, away from doors, steps and paths.
Number
A long run can take an outlet at each end, so it drains faster in a hard rain.
Extensions
Carry the water a few feet out from the wall where the ground next to it is flat.
Splash blocks
Spread the flow where it lands so it does not wash out the bed.
Color
Downspouts and fittings match the new gutter.
Getting the new layout right
A replacement is the time to change what never worked on the old system. Tell us what bothered you about the old gutters and it goes into the new plan.
If the roof is being replaced as well, give us the roofer and the finish date. The new gutters go up after the roof edge is done.
Commercial and rental buildings
A shop, office or warehouse with failing sectional gutter gets the same replacement as a house, and on a long wall the new seamless run can go from end to end in one piece. The work is set around business hours so doors and parking stay usable. Landlords with more than one address can have several buildings looked at on one visit.
