Robert and his crew installed gutters yesterday on my new home. They did an awesome job and the gutters look great! I had considered installing them myself, but no way I could have matched this professional installation and final look. Hopefully I won’t need any more gutters, but would highly recommend Prime Seamless for a quality job well done!

Gutters are the main component of your home’s water drainage system.
They are placed around the edge of the roof to protect the walls and foundation of your home from water.
Gutters can become clogged with heavy rainfall, leaves, sticks, twigs, and debris of all kinds.
Gutter guards keep your gutters working properly by preventing anything larger than a grain of sand from getting caught and clogging your gutters.
Why Is It Important To Install A Gutter Cover?
Gutter guards, sometimes referred to as gutter covers, prevent many of the hassles that homeowners may experience with gutters.
These are just a few of the top reasons why the customers of Prime Seamless Gutters & Roofing in San Antonio love our gutter guards.
- Keep Debris out of Your Gutters – Gutter guards eliminate debris from building up and causing problems in and around your home. This is the number one reason we recommend gutter guards.
- Eliminate Maintenance by 70% – Typically, gutters require maintenance a few times each year. Homeowners must get on the roof themselves or hire a gutter-cleaning service to clean them out. With gutter guards, this maintenance is virtually eliminated.
- Prevent Rust – When traditional gutters are clogged, the debris can create standing water which leads to rust. It doesn’t take long for rust to corrode the metal and cause major problems for your gutters. Guards prevent any standing water and rust by eliminating the clogs.
- Save Money – Guards save you money, time, and energy by eliminating the need for traditional gutter cleaning services and future water damage repairs.
- Protect Your Home – Unkempt gutters lead to ice dams, clogs, and serious damage to your roof, walls, siding, foundation, and landscaping.
- Extend Gutter and Roof Lifespan – The guards will extend the lifespan of your gutters and also your roof. Standard gutters tend to form pools of standing water leading to rust, mold, and corrosion. They provide superior protection to prolong the life of your entire roofing system.
- Fire Protection – Clogged gutters present a major fire hazard by storing dry leaves and twigs on your roofline. Even a small ember can spark this risk into a major problem.
Signs You Need A Gutter Protection System
A gutter protection system like gutter guards is usually an afterthought.
Something only considered once you’ve had a problem that must be solved.
We recommend you install a protection system for the better functioning of your gutter.
- Periodic Clogged Gutter – If you have frequent clogs that prevent your gutters from being clean and free-flowing, you will benefit from a gutter guard to keep your gutters working properly and reduce cleanup.
- Rusting Gutters – Rusting comes as a result of consistent standing water in the gutter. If this rust and corrosion are left unattended, the result is a compromised gutter system.
- Constant Gutter Overflow – If you live in an area with torrential downpours, it may overwhelm a standard gutter system. Constant overflows can cause water damage to your home. This is completely avoided with gutter guards.
- Visible Water Stains & Spots – If you notice any type of discoloration or staining on the outside of your home, your gutter system is not doing its job and it’s time for increased protection.
