For first-time homeowners or those who have never done it before, installing a gutter can feel like a daunting task best left to the professionals. While you can call in professional contractors who have experience working with gutters to perform a gutter installation, you can save money by watching videos filmed by the experts and doing it yourself. According to the embedded video, installing a gutter on your own is possible even if you don’t have experience working in the home improvement industry as long as you follow the same steps that professionals would take if they were doing the same project.
To install a gutter, you’ll first need to get the measurements for the area where you’ll put the gutter on the roof right. Then, you can purchase the appropriate vinyl or metal gutter materials. Since major hardware stores tend to sell gutters in 10-foot sections, you’ll need to cut them down to fit the size your roof requires.
After that, you should follow the steps of a video you trust to install the gutter. In most cases, your next step will be screwing gutter pieces together. To keep the slope ideal for drainage, use a four-foot level during installation. Finally, it’s time to admire your hard work!.
