A 5-inch seamless aluminum gutter is standard, however oversized 6-inch gutters are becoming increasingly more popular. Seamless aluminum gutters also come in even larger sizes, which are typically an industrial or commercial style gutter. To manufacture a seamless gutter, you need a professional grade gutter machine. DIY gutters (sectional) differ from seamless because sectional gutters are installed in pieces and have seams. Whereas, seamless gutters are exactly what they sound like, seamless.

When we think about home repairs, installing a new roof is arguably the most important home remodeling project. Why? Because a roof protects your home and all of its other interior and exterior investments. The first step of this process is to ensure that an 8 inch aluminum drip edge is installed on all roof perimeters, this means all roof edges. The purpose of installing a drip edge is to ensure that no wind driven rain enters the roof through its edges. It's an essential part of the roofing system defense mechanism.
Not many people like to perform roof repairs and maintenance on their home. However it is crucial that you take the time to do roof repairs regularly to extend the life of the current roofing system and prevent major damage. Did you know that pipe boot flashings must be replaced every 10-15 years? This product and component of your roofing system won't last the lifetime of the roofing system. This means that if your pipe boot flashing is showing wear and tear, or looks as if it has pulled or gotten loose around the pipe collar, it's time to replace the pipe boot flashing.
Proper flashing around a chimney includes two layers: The first is called step flashing: Sections of L-shaped sheet metal are woven into the shingle courses and lapped up the side of the chimney. Next comes the counter-flashing: A second layer of metal is embedded in the chimney mortar joints and folded down to cover the top of the step flashing. The corners are especially vulnerable. We cut and bend the metal around the corner. Even in a quality installation, this leaves one small spot that should be sealed with a high-quality urethane caulk.
