Gutters for New Construction
Outfit Your Home with A Top-of-the-Line Gutter System
Building a new home is exciting, but many new buildings cut corners with cheap, builder-grade gutters. Why? They’re inexpensive and look fine at first, but you’ll quickly see the flaws. Builder-grade K-style gutters often use thin aluminum that bends, dents, and leaks. They’re installed up against the roofline, often without proper slope, leading to constant overflow, staining, and potential water damage to the home’s fascia board and roof sheathing. Many times, installers nail gutters every. Many times, installers nail the gutters in every 4 ft, which inevitably leads to the gutters pulling away from your home, or sagging, when weighed down with debris, snow or ice. Furthermore, small downspouts clog easily and create bottlenecks and overflow points, where you might notice green stains as moss and algae build up.
FreeRain Gutters offers an upgrade for new homes in the Greater Seattle area—gutters that don’t just work, but last. Our gutter systems are built to handle heavy rain, resist debris buildup, and maintain their appearance, making them an essential addition to any new home.

- Commercial-Grade 3 x 4″ Downspouts: FreeRain Gutters come with larger downspouts, preventing debris buildup and bottlenecks that can slow down water flow. This maximizes drainage, reducing the risk of blockages and overflow.
- Proper Slope & Installation: We ensure gutters are sloped right and sealed right, so water flows efficiently away from your home.
- Easy Gutter Cleaning: Our gutters feature easy-access cleanout boxes at the bottom of the downspouts. These aesthetically pleasing boxes prevent debris from entering underground drainage systems, making gutter maintenance quick and easy.

The Problem with Builder-Grade Gutters
Builder-grade gutters are a problem waiting to happen:
- Thin Metal, Fast Damage: Cheap aluminum gutters installed every 4 ft with a nail can lead to bending, sagging, detaching and leaking as gutters begin to pull away.
- Constant Clogs: Small downspouts trap debris, creating choke points that lead to overflows, which can mean unsightly staining and water damage.
- Loose Fasteners: Nails and screws can pull loose, and if not sealed upon installation with silicone or rubber washers, can create channels for water to infiltrate into your wood, damaging fascia board and rafter ends. Why deal with this when you can have gutters that actually protect your home?
