Potential increased lifespan from hidden fasteners
Hidden fasteners add additional strength to a seamless aluminum gutter system as opposed to rain gutters that are held into place by a spike and ferrule. The more secure hold can sometimes improve the life of a system by up to 10 years.
Potential increased water runoff capacity
An upgraded 6” gutter system can handle up to 40% more water run off than the smaller 5” system. This system is great for steeper or larger roofs.

Frequently Asked Questions
1
Are 5 or 6-inch gutters more effective?
Most homes in the Pacific Northwest feature 5-inch gutter systems as standard. However, many homeowners have started upgrading to a 6-inch system because it can handle up to 40% more water flow than its smaller counterpart. An additional benefit to a 6-inch rain gutter system is the oversized downspout which allows for more debris to pass through without causing clogs.

How do I maintain rain gutters?
While Seamless gutter systems are easy to maintain it is important to clean them at least once per year. For systems without a guard it essential to remove any dirt and debris from the system to keep water flowing to prevent it spilling back onto the roof or siding. Part of any annual maintenance should include checking that the gutters are still sloped correctly, and everything is properly attached. A residential contractor that specializes in gutters will have the equipment and knowledge to best maintain rain gutters.

When should I install new gutters?
Gutters are best installed during a new roof installation. This ensures the right flashings are in place before a gutter install improving the effectiveness the roof system in whole. Most gutters only last 10-20 years dependent on the type of gutter, material and workmanship. If you are replacing your roof or have not gotten new gutters within the last 20 years it is probably time to replace your rain gutters.

How are gutters attached to my home?
Hidden fasteners, also called hidden hangers, are the most popular way to install gutters. With this system the gutter is fastened directly to the fascia. Hidden fasteners are used every 16 to 24 inches on average and give the gutter its strength and support. Aptly named, hidden fasteners are concealed inside the gutters and are not visible from the ground, creating a more continuous look and amped up curb appeal.
