FAQs
What are seamless aluminum gutters and how do they differ from sectional gutters?
Seamless aluminum gutters are custom‐formed gutters made from a single coil of aluminum that is run through a portable roll-forming machine at your home. Because each gutter run is one continuous piece, there are no seams along its length—only at the corners and downspout outlets. Sectional gutters, by contrast, come in pre-cut 10- to 20-foot sections that are pieced together on site, creating multiple seams that must be sealed. Fewer seams mean a lower chance of leaks, reduced maintenance, a cleaner appearance, and longer life for your gutter system.
Why is aluminum a good material for gutters in Oneida’s climate?
Aluminum is lightweight yet strong, naturally rust-resistant, and can withstand the freeze-thaw cycles common in Oneida. It will not corrode like steel in our wet springs, and it will not become brittle in sub-zero winter temperatures. Aluminum also handles the heavy snow loads we experience because it is flexible enough to absorb minor expansion and contraction without cracking. In addition, the baked-on factory finish resists fading and eliminates the need for painting, making aluminum a low-maintenance choice for Central New York homeowners.
How long does a seamless gutter replacement project typically take?
Most single-family homes in Oneida can be measured, fabricated, and fully installed in one day. Larger or more complex rooflines may require an additional day. The process involves: 1) removing old gutters and downspouts; 2) inspecting and repairing fascia boards if needed; 3) roll-forming the new seamless aluminum runs to exact lengths; 4) fastening the gutters with hidden hangers; and 5) installing downspouts and splash blocks. Our crews work efficiently so disruption to your daily routine is minimal.
Will replacing my gutters help prevent ice dams and water damage?
Yes. Properly sized seamless gutters and downspouts promote better roof drainage, which reduces standing water that can refreeze and form ice dams along the eaves. We also pitch the gutters precisely toward the downspouts and recommend oversized 3"×4" downspouts to move meltwater away from your foundation quickly. Coupled with adequate attic insulation and ventilation, new seamless gutters are an effective part of an overall strategy to prevent ice dams, fascia rot, basement seepage, and landscape erosion.
What maintenance is required after installing seamless aluminum gutters?
Seamless aluminum gutters are virtually maintenance-free, but we recommend inspecting and cleaning them twice a year—once after spring pollen drop and again after the fall leaf drop. If large trees overhang your roof, consider a leaf-protection screen or a solid gutter guard to reduce debris accumulation. Check for loose downspout straps or hanger screws, especially after severe storms. Because aluminum does not rust, there is no need to paint; simply rinse with a garden hose to keep the finish looking fresh.
How much does seamless aluminum gutter replacement cost in Oneida, and what factors affect price?
In Oneida, the average cost to replace gutters with seamless aluminum runs between $10 and $18 per linear foot installed. A typical 150-linear-foot home would therefore range from $1,500 to $2,700. Variables that influence price include: 1) total linear footage; 2) number of stories (which affects ladder or lift requirements); 3) fascia repairs or new wood backing; 4) number and size of downspouts; 5) addition of gutter guards; and 6) color choice or special‐order finishes.
