Gutter installation is generally considered an easy home improvement project. That is why many homeowners choose to DIY this job. However, if you want to ensure the correct installation of your gutter system, it’s still best to hire a professional to take on the project. Following the best practices listed below, gutter and roof replacement experts at Roofer Chicks® can deliver excellent results.

Basic Guide to Gutter Installation Best Practices

 

Prepare All Materials Needed

Our team makes sure that all the necessary materials, tools and equipment are prepared beforehand. We also check the quality of every item we use to ensure the longevity of the gutter system. Through adequate planning and preparation, we are able to carry out various tasks in an efficient manner — which means less of your time is wasted.

Apply Sealant

Much like in roof repairs, we recognize the importance of applying sealant on your gutter system and its long-term performance. By making sure that the gutters are completely dry and a liberal amount of sealant is applied on their inside, we can guarantee that your gutters will remain in good condition for years to come.

Ensure the Crimp Is Facing Down

We make sure the crimped ends are facing down when installing downspouts and elbows. This is to help prevent leaks from occuring at the joints.

Clean Up After Work

Like other home improvement projects, gutter installation can be a messy job. Don’t worry, though, because we can clean up the work area for you after every job. We also make sure that any dirt or debris will be disposed of properly.
