4 Gutter Installation Practices Followed By Professionals

Gutter installation is not an easy job to do. One wrong step can affect the gutter system’s structural integrity and appearance, which is why it should be done by a professional residential roofing contractor you can trust like M&A Exterior Home Improvement. We always follow strict guidelines to make sure your gutters are properly installed. 

Here’s how we do it:

 1. Compiling a Proper To-Do List 

We begin your installation by compiling everything that’s needed to complete the job. Not only do we ensure that everything is loaded properly before we go to your project site, we also refrain from wasting any material by planning the cuts precisely to maximize its usage. We don’t rush in our planning so we’re able to work smarter throughout the installation process. 

 2. Using Screws Rather Than Rivets

As gutter and roof repair contractors, we prefer to use screws rather than standard rivets when installing downspouts. This may seem like a minor thing to follow, but screws really make it easier to remove the downspouts later when you need to have them cleaned of any debris or clogs. Whenever possible, we also make sure it is pre-painted to match the rest of the system to match its consistency.

 3. Proper Sealant Application

Even when applying sealant, we make sure to apply a broad amount on the inside of the gutters. But before application, we double-check if the gutters are dry to maximize its effectiveness.

 4. Cleaning Up After Installation 

After we install your gutters, we don’t forget to clean our work area before we leave. We make sure to leave the customer’s property as clean as it was before we installed your new gutter system. Doing this only part of our job as one of the best gutter installers in the area.
