What Type of Gutters do You Need?

Every home needs a different size of gutter and all homeowners prefer a different style. Before you get started on the actual installation process, you are going to need to know what type of gutters to bring to the site.

First of all, are you working on a residential or commercial building? A person’s home will require gutters of 5 or 6 inches, while a business will require larger gutters. We have many types of gutters available, so you can be sure that we will find a perfect match for the building in question.

Next, you will want to know what style of gutter the client wants. Common types are the K-style gutter, the half-round, or the box style. Each style has different properties and functions best in certain environments, they also add a different “vibe” to the building.

If you are unsure of what type of gutter you need, we can take care of it. As your subcontractor, we can assure you that you are getting quality service, and products, all at a fair price.

Getting Started- Sketch it Out

Now that you have your gutters picked out, you want to do some planning before you get started on the gutter installation. If you skip this step, you are likely to have more and more problems arise as you go through the installation process.

You will want to measure and record the length of the gutters and write down any downspout locations. If you can, you also want them to be placed in harder to see locations. These should be areas where collected water and be redirected away from the house. Remember, you will need an extra space of 4 feet for the downspout extensions.

Once you have everything planned out, you should be able to see the final result in your mind a lot easier. As your subcontractors, we can help you with this process, to assure that the final gutter installation goes smoothly.

Assemble the Parts on Site

You will want to preassemble the parts on the ground at the home, it is much easier than the alternative. You should be sure that with sectioned gutters, the seam is facing down the slope. Otherwise, water will leak through the connected areas with little difficulty.

Now, you can cut for downspout tubes at their designated locations. Measure the distance between the corner of the house and the planned downspout. Use this measurement to determine where the tube should go and make the cut.

Finally, be sure to frequently measure the pitch when setting the gutters up. You just need a little slope (about ¼ inch lower every 10 feet along the gutter), but if you ignore this crucial step, the gutter system will become ineffective.

Local contractors in our area can receive our help as your subcontractors. We have been installing rain gutters for many years and know the ins and outs of the process. If you feel nervous at all about climbing up on a ladder to set them up, we can assist you.

However, finding a way to bring all of the pieces to the site and get them set up can be a huge hassle. If you do not have access to a truck, then you might have some trouble getting them there. What can you do in those situations?
