Uncle Skeeter's will bring our gutter machine to your home or business
and custom-form your gutter . Every home is different so we custom fit
yours to the very inch.
- K-style (also know as oogee) seamless gutters are the most popular of all gutters
installed or replaced on residential homes.
- K-style comes in 5" or 6" sizes. Obviously the 6" will provide for more water
displacement (17% more) but is not appropriate for all homes.
- Gutter thickness is very, very important. We only use .032 thickness,
a lot of
our competitors use .027. We know 18% thicker gutter will provide
long a lasting value to your home.
- The fasteners used to connect your gutters to your fascia board are of great concern.
Builders 90% of the time use spikes and ferrules. We only use hidden hanger screws.
The aesthetics are greatly increased and the fastening integrity is equally increased.
So your custom gutter will look better and stay attached to your home correctly for years.
Hidden hangers cost us double the amount of spikes and ferrules but the performance
is probably 10x greater for your gutter system.
- Another value Uncle Skeeter's provides on every custom gutter installation is box-miters
versus strip miters. Box miters (90degree angles), although they cost twice the amount
of strip-miters, they last years longer and have tremendous advantage on stopping leak
and protecting your expensive landscape. All miters are zip-screwed and sealed
with gutter sealant.
- The other style of miters, Bay-miters (45 degree angles), come as inside or outside
corners.
1/2 round gutters, a gutter system with a more elegant and traditional style.
Half-Round gutters come in 5', 6" and 8" sizes. Colors choices are numbered,
generally copper, white and brown are stock colors. Special order color
accessories sometimes require hand painting. Half-Round gutters are almost
always accompanied by round downspout and accessories. The downspouts
come in 3" and 4" round dimensions.
Please ask on of Uncle Skeeter's
representatives any questions you have concerning Half-Round gutters.
