Gutter Guards & Installation Providence, Southeastern Mass, Cape Cod & The Islands

Gutters are part of your home’s defense against basement leaks, foundation staining, mold growth and other problems caused by water damage. Therefore, they must be always working properly! If your gutters constantly get clogged with leaves and other debris, it may be time to install gutter guards, which we think are a great solution for any gutter and downspout system.

Why Install Gutter Covers?

Gutters are effective at directing rainwater away from your home, but unfortunately, it’s easy for them to get clogged with leaves, pine needles, animal nests and other debris—even old tennis balls or dog toys! Gutters are particularly prone to clogging in the fall and spring. But gutter guards, which can help prevent clogging, are beneficial all year long. Gutter guards are systems engineered to help prevent clogs by keeping out debris without blocking water flow.

When debris gets caught in your gutters, it can lead to all kinds of problems, which could include:

• Leaks

• Gutter damage (including gutter systems that become loose or detached from the house)

• Roof damage

• Damage to exterior walls, insulation and drywall

• Basement flooding

• Foundation staining

• Mold and mildew growth

• Flower bed erosion and other landscaping problems

These problems can be time-consuming and costly to fix, but gutter guards can help keep your gutters clean and free of debris!

Seamless Gutters

Seamless gutters work exceptionally well with gutter guards because their continuous, joint-free design reduces the risk of clogs and water overflow. Since seamless gutters are custom fitted to your home, they provide a perfect base for gutter guards to be installed. Gutter guards prevent leaves, debris, and pests from entering the gutters, allowing water to flow freely through the system. With fewer seams, there are fewer places where debris can accumulate, making the combination of seamless gutters and gutter guards highly effective at maintaining proper drainage while reducing the need for regular cleaning and maintenance. 

MAP Building Specialties offers two types of seamless gutters: 5″ and 6″ seamless gutters and 1/2″ round and copper gutters. 

5″ & 6″ Seamless Gutters

5″ and 6″ seamless gutters are a practical and durable solution for managing water runoff efficiently. Seamless gutters are crafted from a single continuous piece of aluminum, minimizing leaks and enhancing curb appeal. 

The 5″ option is ideal for smaller residential roofs, while 6″ gutters handle higher water volumes, making them suitable for larger homes or areas prone to heavy rainfall. Their sleek design ensures a perfect fit and long-lasting performance with minimal maintenance. 

Customization options include various colors and finishes, ensuring a seamless integration with a home’s exterior.

1/2″ Round & Copper Gutters

1/2″ round gutters, especially in copper, provide a timeless and elegant aesthetic to any home. These gutters are both functional and decorative, channeling rainwater efficiently while elevating a home’s curb appeal. Copper gutters are renowned for their durability, resisting rust and corrosion over time while developing a beautiful patina. 

Perfect for historic properties or high-end designs, 1/2″ round gutters complement traditional and modern architectural styles alike. Their smaller profile is ideal for detailed rooflines, and their craftsmanship ensures long-lasting performance with minimal upkeep.
