Seamless Gutter Installation in Coral Gables, FL
A single-story tile-roof home in Coral Gables, sitting directly under mature live oak canopy. We fabricated and installed 6-inch seamless aluminum gutters on site, finished in Linen to match the home's stucco and trim.
The Condition
Mature live oaks overhang the roof on every elevation. In Coral Gables that means a steady year-round load of leaves, catkins in spring, and acorns in fall landing straight into the gutter line. The home has a tile roof, which changes how a gutter has to be hung: the hanger spacing and fascia detail have to carry the run without disturbing the tile edge or leaving a gap where water can track behind the gutter.
What We Installed
Six-inch seamless aluminum gutters, formed on site to the exact length of each run. Six-inch is the right size for a roof of this area under this much tree cover: it carries more water than a standard 5-inch and gives debris more room to move toward the downspout before it bridges.
Seamless means there are no joints along the run. On a long straight elevation like this one, every joint you avoid is a leak point you never have to seal, re-seal, or explain to the homeowner three years later.

Working Under Oak Canopy in Coral Gables
On a property like this one, gutter guards are worth discussing. Micro-mesh guards keep oak leaves, catkins and acorns out of the run while letting water through, which cuts cleaning frequency substantially under heavy canopy. They reduce maintenance rather than eliminate it — an annual check is still sensible when the trees sit this close to the roof.
If you have mature oaks over your roofline in Coral Gables, we will tell you honestly whether guards make sense for your situation or whether scheduled cleaning is the better value.
