Sectional can have a lower cost because you can do it yourself relatively easily: a general contractor or experienced handyman will have no problem installing most sectional systems over the course of a calm, quiet weekend, although you may have to coat or paint them, and that may take up more than just one weekend. Generally, sectional systems will involve a “snap-together” system with silicon gaskets, or will require you to weld sections together, if you need something longer than twenty feet.
Seamless gutters are extruded from metal coils to fit the exact length needed for each part of the system. Sectional gutters are pretty much what they sound like: sections of gutter, usually about twenty feet long, that you purchase and cut to fit your needs.
Gutter Helmet works with both types, so we’ve seen both in action, and we can tell you about their benefits and drawbacks.įirst, we need to look at what seamless and sectional gutters are. But there is one fact about seamless that you can’t dispute: unless you plan on buying a $20,000 machine and going into the gutter installation business, you’ll need to hire a contractor to install them, and that means seamless gutters cost more. Sectional versus seamless: it’s an ongoing argument.
