What Are the Best Type of Gutters for Your Home?

Gutters are an important part of your roofing system that keeps your roof and foundation structurally sound. As of 2019, manufacturers have made them even more efficient and durable. If your gutters are not performing well, it may be time to replace them with modern gutters that have substantial improvements over their predecessors.

How do you know if your gutters are due for a replacement? Getting a professional roofing inspection is the easiest way to find out if you can get by with some routine cleaning or if a replacement is a better option. If you get the news that it’s time to get new gutters to ensure the life of your roof, you should start shopping around for quotes.

At Noble Roofing, we are pros at gutter replacement and repair. We have worked with a lot of properties and have helped our clients get the best gutters based on the structure of their home, desired maintenance level, and budget. Here are some styles that we stand by and a breakdown of the available materials.

K-Style Gutters

The primary type that we like to install at Noble Roofing is a K-style gutter. These have a flat back and bottom and a front that mimics crown molding for an extra aesthetic touch. This style has double the capacity of half-round gutters. If you’re on a budget, half-round gutters to cost less than K-style ones. but you’ll also be spending more on regular maintenance since these smaller versions collect debris more quickly.

Seamless Gutters

We love seamless gutters because they are both functional and easy on the eyes. Instead of looking like a separate attachment to the house, seamless gutters are custom-fit to blend with your home’s exterior. When you choose this type, we come to your house and custom fit this product onto your house. Choose between vinyl, aluminum, or copper to match your building’s aesthetics and your budget. Seamless gutters also offer these benefits:

• No bolts and seams because it’s made of one piece of tubing.
• No joints, which means fewer leak problems
• Lower maintenance because there are no seams

Different Materials

When we offer you a quote on gutter installation, we consider your budget and will offer you the best solutions that make sense for your situation. Regardless of the type of gutter you choose, the material is going to play a large role in the final cost. Your choice of material impacts the cost of the project in two ways: its base retail cost and the amount of labor required to install it.

• Vinyl: Very affordable, but not durable and prone to fading and cracking over time. Most likely to need replacement sooner than the other materials available.
• Aluminum: A popular choice for its durability, ability to be painted, and ease of installation. It can last a long time when properly maintained.
• Copper: Long-lasting but expensive material and difficult to install because it requires welding. Its attractive color makes it highly desired among homeowners.
• Steel: Long-lasting but heavy and expensive to install. This is not a good material for a DIY project.
• Zinc: Also expensive and heavy but offers long-lasting performance.
