When it is time for new gutters
- Rust, holes or many leaking seams along long sections.
- Gutters overflow even when they are clean, which often means they are too small or have too few downspouts for the roof.
- Gutters keep pulling away because the fascia behind them is rotting.
- A new roof is going on, and it is the right time to replace the gutters too.
- The home has no gutters and water is splashing against siding and foundations.
Seamless gutters, sizes and downspouts
Seamless gutters are formed on site from a coil of aluminum, so each run is one piece from corner to corner. Fewer joints means fewer places to leak, which is why most installers recommend them.
Size matters. Many homes have 5-inch gutters. Larger or steeper roofs, or roofs where two slopes meet in a valley, can be better served by 6-inch gutters and larger downspouts, so heavy summer storms do not overwhelm them.
Downspouts should be placed so no stretch of gutter carries too much water, and should empty well away from the foundation. Ask your installer where the water will go, not just where the downspouts will be.
Common situations we help with
Typical examples, not individual customer stories.
Old sectional gutters leaking everywhere
An older home has gutters with joints every few feet, and most of them drip. The owner gets a quote to replace them with seamless aluminum, keeping the same color as the trim.
New roof, new gutters
The roof is being replaced and the gutters are dented and undersized. The homeowner books gutter replacement for the same week so the new drip edge and gutters line up properly.
New gutters are priced by the linear foot plus downspouts and extras such as guards, and vary with material, size and how high and complex the roofline is. Expect the pro to measure before giving a firm price.

Questions Hickory homeowners ask
Are seamless gutters better than sectional gutters?
For most homes, yes. Seamless gutters only have joints at corners and downspouts, so there are far fewer places for leaks to start. Sectional gutters can be cheaper to buy but tend to need more upkeep.
Should I replace gutters when I replace my roof?
It is often a good time to, especially if the gutters are old, dented or undersized. The roofer and gutter installer can make sure the drip edge and gutters work together.
Can I add gutter guards to new gutters?
Yes. Many installers can fit guards at the same time. Ask which guard type suits the trees over your roof, since some styles handle pine needles better than others.
