Seamless Aluminum Gutters in Plano
One piece of aluminum per run, made to the inch outside your house. Fewer joints, and the joints that remain are the ones to ask about.
In Brief
Seamless gutter is rolled from a coil of painted aluminum by a machine on the contractor's trailer, so each straight run is a single length.
It still has joints at inside and outside corners, end caps and downspout outlets. Those are sealed by hand and are where a seamless system leaks if it ever does.
Seamless Compared With Sectional
| Seamless aluminum | Sectional (store-bought lengths) | |
|---|---|---|
| Joints on a 40-foot run | None along the run | Three or more, each one sealed |
| Made | On site, to measured length | In fixed lengths, cut and joined |
| Who installs it | A contractor with a forming machine | A contractor or a homeowner |
| Published price | $6 to $12 per linear foot installed (national guide) | A Plano estimate lists $4 to $7 per linear foot |

Four Things to Have Written on the Quote
- Thickness. Residential coil commonly comes in 0.027 inch and 0.032 inch. The heavier one resists ladders and hail dents better. Ask which is being quoted.
- Size. Five-inch or six-inch, and the matching downspout size.
- Color. Coil comes prefinished in a range of standard colors. If an HOA has to approve the color, get the manufacturer's color name from the contractor for your application.
- Corners. Hand-cut miters or prefabricated corner pieces, and what sealant is used.
Plano's summers are hard on sealant. Long aluminum runs grow and shrink with temperature, and the corner joints take that movement. A corner that drips a few years in is a resealing job, not a sign the whole system has failed; see gutter repair.
Other Metals
Steel and copper are also formed seamlessly. The same national guide lists steel at $8 to $20 and copper at $30 to $50 per linear foot installed. Copper is a look as much as a material, and an HOA will have an opinion about it.
Not gutter work: repainting fascia and trim to match a new gutter color is a painter's job. Some gutter contractors will arrange it and some will not; ask.
Questions People Ask
Can seamless gutter be made in any length?
The machine will run as long as the coil lasts. The practical limit is carrying the piece around the house and lifting it to the eave without kinking it.
Will the color match my trim?
Standard coil colors cover the common trim shades. For an exact match the gutter is ordered close and the fascia is painted to it, or the other way around.
Is aluminum strong enough for Texas hail?
Hail large enough to damage a roof can dent aluminum gutter. This site has found no official record of hail sizes for Plano to quote, so it will not suggest how often that happens.
