At Nelco Construction, we know gutters do much more than move rainwater off your roof. A properly designed gutter system helps protect your siding, fascia, soffits, foundation, landscaping, and even your basement or crawl space. When gutters are damaged, clogged, undersized, or improperly installed, water can end up where it should never be. That can lead to wood rot, erosion, foundation issues, staining, mold growth, and costly repairs.
We help homeowners avoid those problems with professional gutter installation, gutter replacement, and gutter repair services built around long-term protection and dependable performance. We specialize in 5-inch seamless gutters and 6-inch seamless gutters, providing custom-fit drainage systems designed to efficiently move water away from your home while enhancing curb appeal.
Whether your current gutters are leaking at the seams, pulling away from the house, overflowing during storms, or simply showing signs of age, our team can inspect the system and recommend the right solution. In some situations, a repair may be sufficient. In others, replacing the system with new seamless gutters offers the best long-term value.

Why Homeowners Choose Seamless Gutters
Seamless gutters have become the preferred choice for many homeowners because they offer superior performance and a cleaner appearance compared to traditional sectional gutters.
Benefits of seamless gutters include:
Fewer joints and seams that can leak over time
Improved water flow and drainage
Reduced maintenance requirements
Cleaner exterior appearance
Custom-fit installation for your home
Increased durability and long-term performance
Better protection against water damage
Because seamless gutters are manufactured to fit your home's dimensions, they provide a more reliable and attractive solution than many older gutter systems.
5-Inch vs. 6-Inch Seamless Gutters
One of the most common questions homeowners ask is whether they need 5-inch seamless gutters or 6-inch seamless gutters.
5-Inch Seamless Gutters
5-inch seamless gutters are the most common residential gutter size and work well for many homes.
Benefits include:
Excellent performance for standard roof sizes
Attractive appearance that fits most homes
Cost-effective solution
Reliable drainage for average rainfall conditions
6-Inch Seamless Gutters
6-inch seamless gutters offer increased water-handling capacity and are often recommended for larger roofs or homes with heavy water runoff.
Benefits include:
Greater drainage capacity
Improved performance during heavy rain
Better management of water from steep roof slopes
Reduced risk of overflow
Ideal for larger residential properties
Our team can evaluate your roof size, drainage needs, and roof design to determine whether 5-inch seamless gutters or 6-inch seamless gutters are the best fit for your home.
Why Properly Installed Gutters Matter
A gutter system has one primary job: collect rainwater and direct it safely away from your home. To accomplish that, every component must work together properly.
Properly functioning gutters help:
Protect foundations from water accumulation
Reduce soil erosion around the property
Prevent fascia and roof edge damage
Lower the risk of moisture intrusion
Help prevent water stains on siding and trim
Improve drainage during heavy rainfall
Protect landscaping and flower beds
Support the long-term condition of your home's exterior
When gutters fail, the effects can impact multiple areas of the home.
Common Signs Your Gutters Need Attention
Many gutter issues develop gradually and may go unnoticed until visible damage appears.
Signs that your gutters may need repair or replacement include:
Water overflowing during rainstorms
Gutters sagging or pulling away from the house
Cracks, holes, or rust spots
Leaking seams or separated joints
Peeling paint on fascia or siding
Water pooling near the foundation
Soil erosion beneath roof edges
Mildew or moisture near exterior walls
Plants or debris accumulating inside gutters
Downspouts draining too close to the home
Addressing these problems early can help prevent more extensive and expensive repairs.
Gutter Repair vs. Gutter Replacement
Many homeowners wonder whether they should repair their gutters or invest in a replacement system.
Repairs may be appropriate when:
Damage is limited to a small section
A few fasteners have loosened
Minor leaks are present
Individual components need adjustment
Replacement is often the better option when:
Gutters have widespread corrosion
Multiple sections are failing
Persistent leaks continue to occur
The system was improperly designed or installed
The gutters are nearing the end of their useful lifespan
In many cases, upgrading to custom 5-inch or 6-inch seamless gutters can provide better long-term performance while reducing future maintenance needs.

Every home sheds water differently. Roof size, pitch, valleys, overhangs, and drainage patterns all influence the ideal gutter design.

Whether your property requires 5-inch seamless gutters, 6-inch seamless gutters, additional downspouts, or specialized drainage improvements, we create a system designed for optimal performance.
We also pay attention to appearance, ensuring your new gutters complement the roofline, siding, soffits, fascia, and overall architecture of the home.
