The Ultimate Gutter Installation Checklist

Looking to replace your gutters or install new gutter system components? DIY gutter replacement can save you a lot of money and be a great home improvement project. You’ve got your tools, but do you have all the necessary gutter system components? Check these items off your shopping list, and you’ll be ready to install your own gutters!

Gutter Sealants

Sealants are one of the most important tools required for any gutter installation project. Gutter sealant is used for securing end caps, sealing corners and gaps, and more while also forming a watertight barrier to prevent any leaks.

Nut Drivers

Nut drivers are essential for attaching and tightening various gutter system components together. Gutterworks sells magnetic nut drivers to help make your gutter installation project faster and easier! Don’t forget your gutter screws and ferrules!

Hangers 

Hangers securely attach your rain gutters to your fascia, preventing them from shifting or falling. Gutterworks offers some of the best gutter hangers on the market. We offer hidden gutter hangers in aluminum and brass, as well as roof apron hangers (often called toboggans).

End Caps

End caps close off the ends of your gutters, keeping water and debris from flowing out. We have pre-finished aluminum end caps for both 5” K-Style gutters and 6” K-Style gutters. Make sure to seal your end caps with gutter sealant from the inside of the gutter.

Miter Strips or Box Miters

Miters join a corner, where the greatest chance of a leak occurs. Box miters, also known as pre-manufactured corners, come in a single piece and easily attach to your guttering runs. Miter strips are narrow pieces of aluminum that seamlessly fit over gutter seams and screws into both gutters.

Elbows

Downspout elbows direct drainage from your gutter system away from your home. We offer a variety of aluminum gutter elbows, including A-style downspout elbows, B-style downspout elbows, and offset elbows (ledge jumpers). Our downspout elbow styles come in a variety of colors and sizes to meet your specific gutter system needs. Learn how to tell if you need a style "A" downspout elbow or a style "B" elbow.

Pipe Clips or Pipe Straps

Pipe clips and pipe straps help to secure your downspout in place. Pipe clips are secured to the building, and then the downspout is placed into the clip saddle and secured. Pipe straps come as a flat band and are secured to the building and then wrapped around the sides of the downspout.
