GUTTERS · SEAMLESS ALUMINUM
Seamless Aluminum Gutters in Northwest Arkansas
Seamless aluminum runs sized to your roof, with fewer joints to leak.
Chapter 01
Where a gutter line fails first
A gutter rarely fails along its length. It fails at the joints. Every seam in a run is a place where sealant can dry out, where a hanger can work loose, and where a small leak can soak the fascia board behind it for years before anyone sees the stain.
Older systems also leaned on gutter spikes, long nails driven through the front face of the gutter into the fascia. Spikes back out as the wood swells and shrinks through Northwest Arkansas seasons, and a gutter that has pulled away from the fascia stops draining toward the downspout.

What we install and how it hangs
Seamless aluminum keeps the run continuous, so the only joints are at corners and downspout outlets. Aluminum does not rust, it is light enough that it does not drag on the fascia, and it comes in factory-finished colors, so you can match the shingles, soffit and trim instead of settling for white.
We hang every run with hidden hangers fastened with screws, not spikes. You get a cleaner front face, and the hangers can be adjusted while we work so the run drains the way it should. The system comes in 5 inch and 6 inch sizes, and oversized 3 by 4 inch downspouts are standard on every install.
Color is worth a minute of thought. Because the finish is applied at the factory, what you pick from the sample is what hangs on the house, and a color chosen against the fascia and soffit, not just the shingles, reads as part of the home instead of an add-on.

Keeping a new run working
A well-hung seamless run is low maintenance, but it is not no maintenance. Leaves, pine needles and roof grit still build up over a season, and a clogged downspout will push water over the edge no matter how good the gutter is.
If you would rather not climb a ladder every fall, a guard can be paired with the new run at install time. We will tell you which one fits the trees around your house. To talk it through, call the Lowell office at (479) 308-5763.
