Illinois and North Indiana

Our professional gutter installation Chicago & suburbs services involve the installation of copper, or aluminum seamless gutters. These gutters eliminate problems with sagging or leaks within the gutter system. The gutters are custom measured for each individual installation. Seamless gutters are roll formed, which means the only places where they need to be joined are at inside and outside corners and where the downspout outlets are located. The joints are fastened securely and then sealed for stability and to prevent leaks. These gutters are strong and visually appealing due to their continuous nature; the absence of seams means that no leaks can occur.

5 Inch Aluminum Gutters

If you need to replace your gutters and you're wondering what size you need to get, there is no standard size for residential gutters. A 5 inch gutter system is sufficient for the majority of residential homes. Although it does depend upon where you live and the size and style of your property.

Factors Affecting Gutter Size

Before deciding upon a gutter system, the size and style of house has to be considered as well as the roof pitch, how many trees are in the given vicinity and other factors that can influence which size and style of gutters can be used.. Gutter sizes and styles can vary and also how many downspouts that will be needed. It is not unusual for us to install seamless 5 inch gutters and seamless "oversized" 6 inch gutters on the same home.

More Rain, More Gutters

BEST PRACTICE

Components Of A Gutter System

Gutters are an important part of your roof, with an essential function. They guide water away from your home and foundation to prevent damage. A gutter system is made up of several parts which include:

Gutters

Gutters are long shallow troughs, or smaller pieces, connected to the roof to collect rainwater. They are available in different materials, sizes, and colors.

Downspouts

Downspouts are vertical pipes connected to the gutters, that carry the water away from the roof, and the gutters, to the ground.

Elbows

These have a crucial function in the gutter system, they connect straight gutters when there are angles, such as at the corners of the roof.

Gutter Guards

Gutter guards sit like covers or lids over the gutter; they act to prevent anything over water from entering the gutters.

End Caps

End caps are found at the end of gutters, they force the water to take the path down the downspouts to the ground.

Hidden Hangers

There are different ways that gutters can be installed on your roof, hidden hangers directly attach the gutter to the fascia, in an attractive manner.
