Professional Gutter Installation Best Practices

Your gutters protect the rest of your home from water damage and their performance depends on the quality of their installation. That’s why you should choose the right gutter company for your project. In this article, Roofmasters Roofing and Sheet Metal, one of the leading roofing contractors in our local area, discusses some gutter installation best practices.

Calculate the Right Slope

Your gutters might look parallel to your roofline but they actually have a subtle slope. This slope is necessary to allow rain to continuously flow into your downspouts. Gutters that don’t have this slope will overflow once it rains. A good gutter company will always make sure to calculate the right amount of slope for the gutter installation. There should be ¼” of slope for every 10 feet of gutters.

Prepare for the Installation Properly

As an experienced gutter installer and sheet metal fabrication company, we don’t start any home improvement project until we are fully prepared. We compile everything that we need to complete a project before starting. This ensures that our truck is loaded with the right materials.
