How Ensz & Sons Gutters Ensures Long-Lasting Gutter Installations

If you’re installing new gutters, choose a material and length based on your roofline and desired drainage. Then, select the necessary components for a complete gutter system. You’ll need gutter sections, downspout outlet fittings, end caps, and a few other items to complete the project.

To install gutters on a house without fascia boards, buy special roof hanger mounting straps to fasten the system directly to the rafters. Use a level to ensure that the slope of the gutters is correct and that all corners are properly aligned.

To connect gutter segments, apply a heavy bead of lap sealer to each joint. Then, set a section of gutter over the receiving length with about 5 inches of overlap and snap the front flanges together. Next, screw the two sections together with sheet metal screws. Finally, apply a layer of gutter lap sealer over the seams to make sure it’s watertight.
