Like most home improvement projects, gutter installation requires the skills and expertise of a professional. If installed incorrectly, your gutters won’t function properly and may cause water-related damage to your home. 

Here are some of the gutter installation best practices you can expect from a pro.

1. Properly Sloped Gutters

Gutters appear to run straight along the roofline, but they’re actually pitched slightly. This design ensures rainwater will come down your roof and be drained efficiently. It prevents water from pooling at the corners or rushing over the sides. Experts make sure the gutters are sloped toward the downspout at a ¼-inch angle for every 10 feet of the gutter system.

2. Precise Customization

Seamless gutter systems are customized and assembled on-site. They require precise measurements so they’ll fit along the roofline. Unlike sectional gutters, which are connected using adhesives, a seamless gutter system uses a single, continuous piece of metal. It results in a sleeker design and gutters that are less prone to leaks. If you want to learn more about seamless gutters, consult a trusted gutter contractor.

3. Protective Measures

Well-designed, properly installed gutters can also suffer from occasional clogging. That’s why a professional will likely suggest adding a gutter protection system. Gutter covers help maintain the performance of your new gutters as they keep leaves and other debris out of the system.
