Gutters in Madison (house, garage, estimates)

[flatheadfreddy]

I am looking to get about 150 feet of gutter installed for a garage addition. I don't like the appearance of 10 footers so I want to go with continuous. Any suggestions?

Sounds good. Google "seamless gutters". There are a number of authorized installer in the area.

Be careful when getting estimates for "seamless" gutters. My parents had "seamless" gutters installed on their house and they ended-up with a seam right over their back patio doors. The seam leaked whenever it rained and caused the patio doors to rot because of the constant soaking from the leaking seam. When they confonted the installer about the seam he explained that each roll of gutter material is a fixed length so long runs require a seam. He could have made sure the seam was in a less damaging location.

Thanks Dirtgrinder, I am going to make sure it is "seamless". I used to make the stuff when I was a kid we had a gutter rolling machine & would use it on site. BBB'd up gutter here there are a bunch of gutter folks.

This is a simple problem. I will not pay them until the job is finished and I inspect the job to my satisfaction. If I see a "seam", they'll either fix it on the spot or they would not get paid.
