Gutter installation is a fairly easy DIY project for homeowners who are comfortable working on ladders and have the right tools. However, you should always use the highest quality materials and have an assistant to help with maneuvering gutters on the roof and keeping your ladder secure. You’ll also need a variety of safety equipment to protect yourself from sharp metal edges and the potential hazards of working on a ladder.

You can choose from Huntsville, AL aluminum or steel gutter systems. Steel systems cost a little more, but they’re less susceptible to damage from wind and ice, are more durable, carry 20- to 25-year paint warranties, and don’t crease as easily when bent by ladders or manipulated by contractors. Regardless of the material you choose, it’s important to get a good deal on your gutters and to buy a few extra pieces to ensure that you have enough material to complete your project without having to rush through it or cut corners.

You’ll need fascia brackets to fasten the new gutters to your house, rafter tails for houses that don’t have fascia boards, and downspout outlets for each end of the gutter run. If you have a long gutter run, slope the gutter down both directions from the center and place downspout outlets on each end. You’ll also need gutter slip-joint splice fittings, inside and outside corner pieces, gutter end caps, and a strip miter (a narrow piece of aluminum with a 90-degree bend). For an airtight seal, install the gutters using sheet-metal screws or pop rivets.
