Gutter system installation is a more complicated process than most homeowners realize. A single mistake can affect its effectiveness. So rather than taking the DIY route on this home improvement project, leaving it to the professionals makes more sense.

Here's what you can expect when a professional installs your gutters: 

Making a Checklist

Before the professionals start installing your new gutters, they'll first determine what's needed to complete the job and compile them in a list to keep track. This will consist of several details and tasks to be done as well as making sure that everything is loaded properly before going to your home. Additional steps may also be taken when they take measurements of your roof and plan the cuts precisely so that they won't waste any material. 

Utilize Screws

While it may depend on the design of each roofing system, professionals tend to use screws instead of rivets when installing gutters and downspouts. This is simply because screws are much better to use and they can be easily removed from the downspouts whenever they need to be cleaned of debris or clogs. This also makes them easier to replace if some sections are damaged beyond repair. Pre-painted screws are also used when necessary so that they'll match the rest of the gutter system. 

Applying Sealant Properly

Professionals know how to put just the right amount of sealant on the gutter seams. Too much of it can affect how the system redirects water runoff toward the downspouts. For the sealant to stay effective, the pros double-check if the surface is dry to maximize the sealant's adhesiveness. Afterward, they apply just a broad amount on the inside of the gutters. 

Cleaning Up After Installation

After the gutters are installed, the professionals will make sure to clean the work area before leaving. They won't leave behind any debris or equipment on your home property and so it should be as clean as it was before they started installing your new gutter system.
