After talking with you, we begin to measure the length of the areas needing gutters. We also count the amount of corners, end pieces, and joints that will be needed. In general, you'll only need joints that bend straight backwards into the wall, but occasionally a sideways joint is necessary to avoid any bulky obstructions. We'll also go ahead and inspect the fascia of your home or business. This is the wooden piece that lays behind the rain gutter, and if it's rotten it will need to be replaced before we can screw the gutter into it. After everything's been measured and planned, our Logan Utah gutter installers are ready to begin.

Assembling Lengths Of Gutter
Before climbing up on any ladders, rain gutter replacement or installation begins by assembling several pieces on the ground. We'll go ahead and assemble any necessary lengths beforehand, overlapping each piece by about 3-4 inches. We also ensure that the outside pieces always lay on top. This prevents water from pushing up and seeping through the bottom. After the rain gutter pieces have been attached to one another, we seal each seam with a silicone bead. The next step in the process is cutting out any holes for downspouts. We'll measure out where these need to go and then begin by chipping out a small v-shaped hole. Then using a pair of tin snips, our gutter installers go ahead and cut out the rest of the hole until a joint piece can be slid in. This is then attached with a bead of gutter sealant, rivets, and a final coat of silicone to seal of any holes and cracks. |

Marking Out The Slope
Before attaching the gutter to the fascia, we'll need to go ahead and mark out the slope of the gutter. This process is generally simple, beginning with checking the fascia for level. After our rain gutter installers have confirmed that everything looks good, we'll go ahead and measure up a few inches from the bottom of the fascia, and then subtract a 1/4" for every 10 feet for the other side. We tap a nail into both marks, and then attach a chalk line. Once again using the level, we'll check to make sure the line is slightly sloped, and after confirming this, we'll use the line to mark out where the gutter needs to be installed.

Hanging Gutters
Once everything has been marked our team can begin hanging rain gutters around your Cache Valley Utah home or business. We begin rain gutter installation by screwing the gutter into the fascia, ensuring it matches the previously marked line. After the gutter has been firmly attached, we attach brackets to the fascia that reach out and support the bottom and front of your gutters. We'll also install gutter flashing underneath your shingles. This helps water drain from the shingles and into the gutter, protecting your fascia from water damage and mold. Attaching The Down Spouts |
|
The final step to installing your gutters is to install the down spouts. We do this by first crimping the down end of each joint or piece, and then sliding them into one another, using sheet metal screws to fasten them into place. We also attach a spout, hose, or pipe near the end to help drain water away from your home. After this step our Cache Valley gutter installers check with you to make sure that everything is up to your standards and complete!
