Steps For Gutter Installation

Ensz & Sons Gutters of Huntsville systems are crucial to your home’s foundation and landscaping by catching and directing water away from the structure. Regular gutter cleaning is also important to prevent clogs and overflow that can cause damage. While professional gutter installation is preferable, a homeowner can do a fair amount of the work themselves. This article describes the steps for gutter installation and provides tips to help homeowners avoid mistakes.

The first step of gutter installation is to assess your roofline and fascia boards to determine whether there are any rotted or unusable sections that need replacement. Your roofing professional can then take precise measurements of the roofline to accurately determine where new gutters should go and how far they’ll run, the best downspout locations, and the angle needed to connect the gutter corners.

Once your roofing professional has gathered all the necessary measurements, they’ll prepare and order your gutters and components. You’ll need gutters in 10-foot sections, downspout outlets, inside and outside corner pieces, fascia brackets, and end caps. If your roof is taller than average, you’ll need additional supplies to make the gutters safe for your rooftop.

Other tools you’ll need include a ladder that’s stable and tall enough for your roofing job, a ladder stabilizer, safety glasses or goggles, and a pair of gloves. A tape measure, drill, tin snips, and a screw gun are also essential to the gutter-hanging process. If you’re using pop rivets for fastening, a crimp tool is helpful to ensure they’re properly seated and sealed. Gutter lap sealer is a must to ensure all seams are watertight.
