Our Gutter Installation Process

Gutter Installation Process

We never appreciate properly working gutters until something goes wrong. When everything is going well, this unassuming feature quietly collects rainwater from your roof and disperses it away from your home. However, when your gutters are leaking or clogged, or when downspouts pool water around your driveway or landscaping, then you understand the essential job your gutters serve.

Installing new gutters correctly requires a large amount of planning, calculations, and manual labor. Even the most competent DIYers may find it difficult to install their own gutters. That’s why we hope you’ll turn to All Season Gutters if you’re in need of a new guttering system. With more than 13 years of experience and satisfied customers throughout central Pennsylvania, we’re up to the challenge.

How the Pros at All Season Gutters Install New Gutters On Your Home

Curious about how we do what we do? Here’s our basic five-step installation process.

1. Plan Out the Project

Before we even begin the installation process, we first inspect your home and sketch it out, including all measurements we’ll need to install the guttering system. During our inspection, we’ll determine if your soffit and fascia have rotting sections and need to be replaced. The soffit, fascia, and gutters all work together to complete the look of your home and provide vital protection.

As we sketch out your home, there are a few key things we take into consideration:

  • Location of Your Downspouts: Not only do these need to facilitate drainage, allowing water to easily flow away from your home, but downspouts should also be in inconspicuous locations where they’re less visible.
  • Size of Your Downspouts: Although 2-by-3-inch downspouts are industry standard, gutters that drain a large area of your roof will need oversized downspouts that are 3-by-4 inches wide.
  • The Slope of Your Gutters: Gutters are sloped so water will not accumulate inside them. As we take our measurements, we determine the slope — although the exact slope will be adjusted during the installation process.
  • Need for Roof Hanger Mounting Straps: If your roof doesn’t have fascia boards or they’re not vertical, we use roof hanger mounting straps to install gutters.

2. Prepare Gutters

Once we understand your home’s gutter needs, we prepare your guttering system on site to ensure accurate measurements. At All Season Gutters, we only offer seamless gutter installation. Other gutter installation professionals may use sectional gutters, but the seams that join these pre-formed gutter sections together are more susceptible to leaks and damage.

We use a machine so we can make it as long as necessary without any seams. We form our gutters into the K-style shape. This style holds more water than rounded gutters and is also stronger and less likely to bend when impacted by force.

3. Install Outlets for the Downspouts

Once your gutters are prepared, it’s time to add the downspouts and outlets before we attach the gutters to your home. It’s safer to do this on the ground rather than from a ladder. Using the measurements we took ahead of time, we cut a hole in the gutters and add the outlets that will later have the downspouts attached to them.

4. Hang the Gutters

Using locally made Raytec Hangfast hidden hangers, we attach the gutters to the fascia boards of your home. These hangers are made using strong material and are designed to withstand any type of weather and the weight of everything the gutter collects without breaking off your house. As your gutters are hung, we also ensure they have the correct slope.

5. Install the Downspouts

The final step we take is to install the downspouts to the outlets previously attached to your gutters. The downspouts are then secured to your home using brackets, so they stay in place.

In 2014, I found Jeff and Amy and All Season Gutters. They have become friends over the years. Wonderful people running a fantastic business. A veteran-owned local business. I have seen them do numerous jobs and their crews take care of the job like it was their own house. They do the details I wouldn’t do to my own house! This week they did a three-day job on our house and helped transform it. We can’t thank them enough. I will never go elsewhere and haven’t for 8 years. New siding, gutters, and metal work for the whole house. Some small things to finish up like replacing the lighting, doorbell, etc ahead but we LOVE it. Thank you, Jeff and Amy and the All Season Gutters Crew!

Would definitely recommend All Season Gutters to my family and friends! They took off our old gutters and replaced them with new ones; they look beautiful! They showed up on time, even on a cold, snowy, morning. They even helped me take up my garbage cans! They were super friendly, efficient, and cleaned up afterward. We are thrilled with how it all looks.

The entire crew of All Season Gutters worked hard in extreme wind conditions. They ensured that quality work would be performed and it was! Jeff and Amy (owners) are FABULOUS and a pleasure to work with! We originally requested gutters and downspouts but ended up adding all-new facia and soffit because of the team’s hard work, great pricing, and dedication to the job and customer. We couldn’t be happier and highly recommend All Season Gutters!
