Traditional or conventional gutters (you might also hear them called “sectional” gutters) come with seams, but we offer seamless gutters. Why? It all comes down to leak protection.
Conventional gutters are made from a series of pre-cut sections, which makes it easier on the manufacturer. Then, during the gutter installation process, the pieces are sealed at each joint. Here’s the problem: At each place where the pieces need to be connected, there’s an opportunity for leaking. As the gutters age, the sealant wears down, creating even more spots where leaking can (and most likely will!) occur.
In contrast, seamless gutters are custom-cut using specialized extruding machinery so they are one perfectly cut piece. This naturally eliminates the need for seams, which means there are no sealed spots where leaking can take place.
We meticulously install our beautiful seamless gutters, and we invite you to take a look at our image gallery of just some of our gutter installations. We enjoy a tight-knit relationship with the most talented gutter installation experts in our geographical area, professionals who obsess about the perfect installation and about pleasing customers. We like to call them the high-quality needle in the low-quality haystack of subcontractors—experts who rise to the top whom we wholeheartedly trust to represent our brand and provide you with the skill, precision, and customer service you deserve.
After the Normans invaded Britain in 1066, they focused on repairing and constructing buildings, preferring stone roofs. To protect this valuable material, they used gutters to divert water away from the structures, with the water sometimes pouring out through the mouths of scary-looking gargoyles. This includes the now-famous Tower of London, which ended up boasting the first working downspout system. When King Henry VIII allowed the government to take apart monasteries and nunneries, one piece of in-demand architecture was their gutters.
If King Henry VIII were around in the 1960s, he would likely be astonished at a big advancement—seamless gutters—and, had he seen the advent of gutter guards, he almost certainly would have demanded them for all of his castles.
To maximize the benefits provided by gutters, gutter covers keep leaves, sticks, and other debris out, but are designed to let the water in. Installing quality gutter protection has plenty of benefits, including ease of maintenance. You’ll save the time you spend cleaning out gutters because the debris has been prevented from entering and/or the money you’d spend hiring someone else to clean them out for you. Gutter cleaning is a dirty job, and can be a dangerous one, too, but quality gutter guards can take that risky chore off your to-do list.
Additionally, ice forms more easily in clogged gutters, which can damage your roof, and gutter covers can prevent that from happening. The Presto Guard also prevents birds and rodents from building nests in the troughs.
There are plenty of other varieties of gutter guards on the market, with each having some flaws. For example:
We’ve solved all of these challenges!
Our cutting-edge, self-cleaning Presto Guard maximizes your gutter performance. This innovation is a proven micro-mesh gutter guard that eliminates the problems associated with typical gutter covers. Top-quality features include:
Our system is so effective that the NCR Consumer Advocacy Group named it as the top-performing gutter cover. The secret sauce to this extraordinary protection is our heavy-duty, medical-grade, micro-mesh screen that prevents even shingle sand granules from penetrating.
Presto Guard has a 28-gauge stainless steel frame, which means that it will:
Even better, the Presto Guard looks as good as it performs, providing subtle, beautiful curb appeal. Its low-profile design means that it’s nearly invisible from the ground. Colors are attractive, with a choice among white, charcoal, brown, and mill-finish aluminum, with matching miters and end caps serving as a lovely aesthetic final touch.
We believe that we have the highest quality gutters and guards on the market today. If you’re gathering quotes, it may be that ours isn’t the same as some other companies and we will likely be higher than businesses selling bottom-of-the-barrel or mediocre products. We only sell quality products installed by well-trained professionals.
To help our customers with the cost of seamless gutters and gutter guards, we partner with Enhancify to offer financing. This allows you to complete your project with an affordable monthly payment.
When you select our company, you can count on premium products from a company you can unconditionally trust for a stress-free, hassle-free experience. Contrast that to experiences you’ve likely had with other companies, ones where what you can count on are broken promises, missed deadlines, and forgotten details.
The Presto difference is that we provide processes that always factor in proper planning, protocols, and procedures. Our high-quality results are a natural output from our start to finish process that, without exception, dots every “i” and crosses every “t.”

Reliable and Trustworthy: Here for the Long Run
When you invest in your home, you want to work with companies that will be around for the long haul. The harsh reality is that 50 percent of contractors go out of business during their first year. When looking at a three-year period, 96 percent go out of business. When that happens, you can’t reach out to them for any assistance in the future.
Presto Garage & Gutter has already been serving customers for two decades and is a financially stable, thriving company. During that time, we’ve grown into one of Charlotte Metro’s biggest independent garage and gutter companies—and, no matter when you’ll need us, we’ll be there. That’s a promise and a fact.
We’re also fully insured. When looking at the industry norm, 60 percent of contractors skip insuring their crews so they can participate in price undercutting. What this means is that, if one of their workers is injured while on your property, you could be held responsible. In contrast, here’s the Presto Standard: we are fully insured—period. Besides that, we train our employees in best practices and hold them to industry-best safety standards.
