Here is the correct crimping tool for the end caps and seams - amzn.to/2xOr8XM
SSLFamilyDad Hi, Great job installing house gutters, they look neat, we liked the hidden fasteners, thanks for sharing.Blessings! !!!!!!
Would it be better in the long run to continue the downspout to the ground instead of on the lower roof? Won't the water shooting out of there raise the shingles or wear them out faster?
O
I'm a 58yr old female. I live alone in the North Minnesota woods on acreage. I have a huge 2 story, 4bdrm farmhouse and I need new gutters. 5k for the beautiful black seamless ones I WANT. But in the meantime I just need to replace a few failing sections. Thank you so much for such a clear, concisely put together vid. I actually believe I'll be able to manage. 🙋🏼♀️💞
I liked how this guy put the gutter up in sections rather than a long unit (mine will be 24’). This will allow me to do it along w/little assistance. Very good video!
I like your duck and spider! To get the slope, you can put a tack every 10' down the facia, 1/4" lower each one, and snap a chalk line between them and follow that.
Or you could snap a line the correct way
Just doing a small gutter project and this really helped me complete a DIY project. Great tips and out come.
I had a quote from The Gutter Magician here in Florence Ky for $2200. Since then i had a financial turnback so i will be installing my gutters yo mismo. Thanks for taking the time to post this i am no longer intimidated whatsoever.
That price is insane to put up some thin metal that catches rain. Geez. All these guys are ripping people off like crazy, especially now. Just do it all yourself. I just installed an entire new metal roof myself. Looks beautiful. Sick of these insane prices from contractors. Screw em.
Thanks for showing us your method. I just moved into place that needs gutters...I've now got a plan.😄
The most important issue you guys need to know. Do not use Water based seals. Use a VOC/ polyurethane sealer. I replaced the gutters when I was 14 years old in 1995 and they still do not leak. Contractors who have installed them as a little as a few weeks ago have developed leaks.
Thanks for a great video. I think I'm going to do this now for my garage. Was a bit concerned with some steps but you showed me the way!
Excellent video!! Got prices for 39 feet of seamless gutter on a one story ranch, gutter only for $700-$850 and Leaf Guard (national chain) for a crazy $7000!! Guess I will be doing it myself. Thank you for the informative and detailed video. Great job!
It is a great video to watch and learned a lot about installing gutter by myself and i am going to try by myself. Thanks for your hard work showing and helping others to do it by themselves. Awesome and thank you so much.
Hey thanks for this video. I'm going to put gutters up and have no idea what or how until now! Very clear great job!
Loved the detail and appreciate all the narrating and explaining what went well/not so well & thanks for the verse at the end! Hopefully I can apply all these on my gutters when I do mine!
1/2 for every 10ft just snap a chalk line before you hang the gutter and it’s a lot easier to keep a consistent slope
Been hanging gutters for 15 years and I can tell you plastic is a no go. And using a chalk line is very silly. As long as you’re getting minimal slope every few hangers you should be just fine
I’m a carpenter… I use a chalk line for everything. I agree seamless gutters are the way to go.
Thank you sir! I'm adding the 2nd half to my garage as previous owner just did front and side only (don't know why) sick of my garbage cans getting full of water each time it rained!
Nice idea with the jig and saws-all. As a paint contractor for new houses I can’t tell you how many hack saw I have found after the gutter contractor leaves the job site. Nice video!
He did a great job with his video and explaining how it’s done. Thanks.
Thank you so much for instructing on how to install gutters. I never ever done something like this but is so true that instead of paying so much money is we can do that we will definitely save a lot of money. I thank you for even letting us know of how much you kind of spend and how much you could of cost you to have someone to install it for your Home. This Increible job really give me an " idea" on how to install gutters and how much money I can save. Thank you so much.....God bless you and your family.
Instead of the junction pieces using tin snips to cut the outside edge top lip, then slide one gutter over the other. It works well. Of course using the silicone.
I don' know if anyone ha mentioned this but the gutter guys that I know use a marble inside the gutter and if it rolls you have a slant for water flow.
Thank you so much for the video. I found this very helpful. I appreciate that the video is "Home Depot specific". That's where I am most likely going to buy my supplies. I would have probably purchased vinyl but have changed my mind because of your video. I also appreciate that you mentioned the rivet option at the end. I own a rivet gun and wasn't even thinking about rivet simply mentioned it. DUH! It's arrogant of me to make a suggestion being as I haven't done this yet but I think you could accommodate the small section pasture downspout by simply adding a small section of gutter and pitching the end up in the opposite slope. That would give you something to catch that small section of rain and pitch it to your downspout. I would think that would be easier than trying to punch a hole and add your own downspout.
Great idea on that end piece, good luck with your project!
13:20 I came for the gutter install and this was a bonus in action!!!
Great job if you ever have problems with them in the future with water running behind them and staining your fascia it's because you need to tuck the back of the gutter behind the drip edge.i loved the verse.thanks again for sharing
That's what I was thinking but the way the gutter hangars attach I don't think it will work
Great video. Will be doing gutters on my house soon. Used your video to find parts I need to get for my job. Going to be using rivets instead of screws. I like the hidden hangers you used, I’ll definitely be getting those.
That ladder with its bottom end so far from the house gave me the willies! No way I’d climb that unless I had a thousand pounds of dead immovable weight behind the bottom end.
Great video. Awesome additions with the duck and spider. Kept me interested for sure!
A lot of great info, thank you, but I just learned that the highest point on the gutter should fall just below the plane of the roof line to allow snow and ice to flow off without taking the gutter down with it. God Bless!
That's what ice stop is for, and only relevant for metal roofs.
yeah I think Tom Silva got that wrong. The high end should be as high as you can get it
Tommy was a bit out of his lane with some of his gutter videos. Use extra z flahing under drip flash if concerned about metal roof ice and snow and height of gutter.
The bee and spider action was cool! The video was very helpful. Thank you.
The aluminum that they sell in-home depo or lows in more thinner but it as effective as any other. Thank you for sharing you experience in your video.
The drip edge should overlap the back lip of gutter. To do this you have to clip the hangers onto the gutter in their proper locations prior to lifting the gutter and sliding it UNDER the drip edge. To get the proper slope you may have to notch the drip edge above the hangers on the high side.
Instead of notching the drip edge just install the hanger over the drip edge then fasten through both the drip edge and gutter.
Thank you for saying this, it was a question I had!
That’s what I was thinking. They do have to go under the drip edge. And piecing these together in place will not work. If you have to have them slid under the drip edge. Either way this is a very helpful video. There is more than one way to skin a cat. it just depends on how waterproof you want your cat skin to be.
Great video with lots of helpful tips. Nicely done Todd!

Nice DIY video. You're so fortunate not to have a angled facia. I've had to use T-Wedges, which are doing great! Yes, saving money. Poor Honey Bee. Thank you!
Great video, thumbs up! I would be interested in how well the upstairs downspout works, by throwing the water out onto the lower roof. It would greatly enhance your video if you got out a garden hose, sprayed the top of the house, and showed us how well that strategy works.
Good job bro! I will save some money replacing my self my gutters this coming spring.
Thanks for teaching!
Great video! I will caution you about the corner by your air conditioner because there will be a waterfall off of that part of the roof and could damage your AC and electrical. You should have it go just past the edge of the roofing to catch all the runoff.
The top downspout that is above the lower roof should be diverted directly to the gutter below. In time water will wear out the shingles. Talking from experience here.
I guess I can just add a 90 to it and direct it down the roof but I have seen others done that way and the water flows right over the gutter when it rains hard
90 down the roof, and another 90 into the gutter. The only problem you may experience is leaves, but better clean out the leaves once a year than replace the roof and/or ceiling.
Yes!
I like the 90 degree piece at the bottom so you can keep the water flowing where you want it or use a splash guard. Couldn't find a pic of a straight piece.

And inspectors will flag all those other peoples homes as well.
Awesome video. Very informative and well done.
Thanks for the video. However i did my house and had the one gutter run onto the lower roof and i had a problem with the water prematurely wear out my shingles. I had to run a pipe directly into the gutter. Seems to work much better.
i was wondering about that myself. running the downspout into the other gutter seems like the go to move.
Plus it's pushing the water sideways against the shingles, which could push water under them. Could end up with leaking and rotting.
Perfect advice that I needed to do it myself. It's actually a simple thing to do.
Thank you looking to install gutters for rain catchment on my Mobil home like your hidden attachment way better looks like it leaves space for leaf delectation screen
Nice job for a first timer. Like others mentioned, the ladder slope is dangerous. Rivets will last longer than the screws. 1/2" slope for every 10' of gutter. Start just a little lower than the dripline to keep the water from coming back under the roof. Use a chalk line to mark where the gutters will go. I agree with using the downspout insert vs. the adapter to make it look cleaner. I'm sure you saw and heard all the "pros" on here so I'll shut up - lol!
By dripline, do you mean shingles or drip cap?
If you're doing 1/2" Slope for every 10 ft you get a maximum of 40 ft at best of trough before you're hanging the trough below the fascia line. It also doesn't account for the actual roof surface area that eave is shedding. Rivets are also a terrible idea, unless you want the professional installer who has to replace your work to charge double for the removal and probable replacement of fascia as well.
Wrong
You can seam gutters together without a connector. Takes a little snip and a couple sheet metal screws, but it works well and saves on the cost of the connectors and is one less seam, ultimately
Phil Timpson
I am getting ready to install gutters on my house. Could you elaborate on your statement? It seems that the majority of the cost is in the fittings and corners. The 10 ft pieces are relatively cheap. Thanks in advance.
@@jonathangoin I think he means: don't use a coupling connector. You can just lap the upstream gutter channel OVER the downstream one. I lap them by 4" - and then pop in a stainless steel self-tapping screw (small) through the widest, highest facing edge of the front. At the point i grab the backs of the gutter together with a vice-grip, flip it over and pass a screw through the back. Silicon, or polyurethane caulk under the lapped joint.
This way looks much better than couplings... and couplings create a potential leak. 4" lap with silicon will never leak.
Thank you for your video. I just bought a house and needs gutters. Your video will make it easier for me to do the job myself.
Call a professional ,I can do a job a lot quicker an I can do it a lot cheaper than he bought them at the store.
You did a good job. Very helpful video.
Your high side should not be all the way to the roof. If snow or ice comes off that roof it’s gonna take that getter with it. Take a straight edge. Level or whatever and slide it down the roof until it meets the front edge of the gutter the drop the gutter down the facia board until the straight edge clears the front edge of the gutter, this will allow the snow or ice to slide past the gutter in the winter.
John Hilman thats a joke
You want it as high as possible. If you have it as low as you say water will just fly over the gutter. If you screw the gutter with hangers 2 feet apart. Long screws and zips in it. Also seamless gutter. It’ll be fine unless there is an excessive amount of snow or ice. Which would have damage the gutter either way you do it.
Joshua Bert you are wrong the Carter should be below the snow slide line I have seen it many times were the high end of the gutter gets ripped off from ice sliding
Joshua Burt you are absolutely wrong. You can’t have the gutter higher then the roof line. Ice dam will rip it right off.
I loved the background singing performed by the goats
4:55 the crimping tool you mentioned is for crimping clips or “teeth” on the upper edge of a sheet of vinyl siding for the final upper run on a wall.
Good job.. Looks good. This is what i jse to catch my water all same stuff. But i use 3" pvc thin wall drain pipe for thr heavy rain. I use rain water for everything. Washing cliths dishes baths etc. I would suggest the black foam looking things home depot sells to keep out the bugs n trash. Trust me it helps. Can just take it out spray it and put it back. They come in 5 foot pieces
I'm sure someone has already commented that your "crimp" tool is a notcher for vinyl siding. Nice video and very helpful.
Great demonstration! Easy to follow! 😊
I tried using the seam pieces to hold two piece together and it did not work, the entire piece flopped and had excess adhesive all over it. I ended up getting a small pop rivet tool and riveted the two pieces together with a small bead of adhesive to seal it. Made 16 feet of gutter into one big piece! Wish I did it like that the first time I wasted At least 20ft of gutter messing with those stupid seam strips
Appreciate this! I am installing mine this morning!
Howd it go?
Awesome Vid! Thank you for the explanation and the Circle of Life spider snippet! lol
I'll be putting up about 25 ft on back of the carport next week myself, I had 3 Companies come give me an estimate , They wanted to rob me!! Leaf Filter bunch was by far the worse!! Thanks for your video here, It has helped me to know I can do it....
I dig the random flip flops at 11:05. Lol. But thanks for the video. I've been thinking about doing this myself or hiring someone. It looks pretty simple but I have a pretty bad fear of heights. Whew.
Excellent video - Thanks for sharing! I have put up 4" vinyl before and am about to do the same 5" aluminum job myself, which appeared to be mostly common sense, but watching the steps you used were definitely helpful.
14:05 that ladder angle!!!
Right? WTF
Thank you, this is very helpful!
Good video, simple instruction, nice job.
Excellent video. I watched it and then installed my gutter. Very informative.
Nails worked fine in my gutters, outlasted the gutters themselves (stainless steel).
you can also clip in the hidden hangers every 2 ft on the ground. makes it easier to install when you get it where you want it when you are on the ladder.
Thanks.
It's good I saw this before going to Lowe's today. I'd been concerned about the one-man job.
I can do this.
Extremely helpful. Nice job
Thank you it helps a lot. Excellent job! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I have an out-building where they left the rafter tails exposed. What should I put up to support gutters? I'm not having any luck finding gutter videos that don't use finished buildings.
Regarding the 2nd-floor gutter emptying on the roof, the water could spread everywhere on the 1st-floor roof (including backwards to where the 1st-floor roof joins the 2n-floor house siding). That might result in leaks there and under the shingles (water going sideways), as it did around my front door, which rotted and had to be replaced. SUGGESTED SOLUTION . . . When I had my roof replaced, a gutter guy added an elbow (where you left it open above the 1st-floor roof) and directed a downspout section to the bottom gutter run. He then added another elbow that "bottomed" into the gutter and cut a "door/opening" in that elbow on the downspout side so water runs in that direction instead of possibly backwards towards the house. In your case, you might just re-orient the 2nd-floor downspout directly into the bottom gutter run (instead of curving over the roof like you did) and add the elbow with the "door/opening." But the volume of water flowing into the bottom gutter run at that point might be a problem. It's not for mine.
Just out of curiosity why wouldn't you just have that upper level going the other way? Then it would drain straight to the ground on the opposite corner, instead of overloading that one downspout? Is there some kind of code or something that keeps you from going straight to the ground from the 2nd story? Thanks for sharing though, I was curious how those seamer connections worked...
I could have done that also but this way I use less downspout. The main reason was that I need to get the water away from the house and I have a drain tile right in the middle on that side and due to the slope of the ground I needed all the water to get to the back corner of the house on the other side.
SSLFamilyDad Thanks for replying.
@@SSLFamilyDad 40 foot per drop, depending on the topography, may want to use larger diameter drop.
Looks really good. Nice neat job!!
When dumping on the roof, try to get down to the roof (instead of a foot above the roof) if you are too high the water will knock the grit off the shingles and drill through the shingles. Put the gutter clips in on the ground (ideally look for rafter location by looking for nailing on the trim board and match the rafter locations and spacing). Having the clips installed on the ground will make it even easier to install by yourself.
great advice rob!
that spider shot tho!
Great video! The spider and the bee 😆
I wish i used the little connector to join gutters. I saw so many people saying to put one gutter into the other. It added so much extra time.
I riveted my couplers then culked. I like how they look but seems they may leak when the culk fails in the future
Very informative.
Thank you for making the video.
Always connect the upper gutter to the lower gutter to avoid premature wear of the lower roofing sheathing, great video tho . thanks for sharing.
How do you think I should go about dealing with the gutter incline on a 50 foot flat portion of roof?
You should have checked to make sure it was level before you finalized joining the 2 rain gutters together. If one of the gutters has an upslope your screwed. Because when you go to measure the slight downslope when installing them, it will be off.
Hello somebody knows how much is the cost by feet on gutters installation in Miami
Outstanding way to explain.
Good video. Thank you.
We had installer replace gutters after some storm damage. 4 consecutive hidden gutter mounts were over tightened and the bolts broke right at the facia. Do you have any idea how to get the broken parts out? I tried vice grips, but there isn't enough to grab onto. I really don't want to make more holes in the facia by going beside. BTW, if you're going to lay out your extention ladder that flat, I hope you at least put a couple of stakes in to hold the bottom.
Ron Yerke How long ago was it? I’d see if he has any kind of warranty for his work and have him correct it.
Pop a piece of soffit loose, maybe there's more screw to grab ahold of out the back.
Theres an easier way with half the seams. Just snip the ends of the front top edges at a 20° angle and slide one piece into the other.
can you explain this more please? what part do I cut?
This video shows other seam method th-cam.com/video/iHyRL7K2HLs/w-d-xo.html
Awesome video. Thanks for explaining the why all the things u didn't do. Great tips....
Great job and great info....i have a concern about how the upper floor gutter is running out on the roof. i think there may be an issue with the water, especially on a hard rain, running up under the shingles which may cause a lot of other issues. overall though thanks for taking the time to share. God Bless.
Great video to get an idea on how to install tin gutters!! Thanks!
Well done...
Good to see that a single person can do it by himself. One question - how difficult will be it if it was on the 2 story house that you need the gutter to be installed. Also, would you assemble all 20' at ground level and then take it ups the roof by yourself or would you install 10' sections and seam it up at the roof level?
I have the same question. About to do my gutters on a 2 story house, have you found an answer to this yet? I would imagine slapping a chalk line across the fascia to use as a reference would be the way to go if installing 10 or 15 foot sections at a time.
Thanks for the help!
Thanks for the great good man hey I did my first 20 ft of gutter does Away Home Depot of course they're similar to how you did it. So let me ask you do I need to call the joints and where the gutters meet thanks
nice catch on the spider with the bee! & nice catch to the spider too lol
Great video!!! Thanks for sharing...this has been the most informative video. Love the spider shot😉
Don't take this the wrong way, but you really need to set up your extension ladder MUCH more vertical. Having it set up that way is extremely dangerous as there isn't much support to keep it from sliding out underneath you. I don't want to see a video of you in the hospital...or worse! Keep up the good work and God Bless!
I agree with Josh .... extremely risky for anyone. I use an 8ft step ladder for 1-story areas, extension ladder for 2-story gutters.
I was thinking the same
1 foot back for every 3 feet up is the rule..
Agreed!!
Hopefully, he at least put some stakes into the ground to keep the end of the ladder from sliding back. That won't keep the ladder from buckling under heavier loading though. That angle will greatly reduce how much weight the ladder can support. Anyway, it looks like he didn't have a disaster THIS TIME.
Thanks. Really helped.
I'm using same gutters on a couple eves this weekend, your video gave me some idea how it's done. I have to say your ladder skill needs some improvement, like separating the ladder to get it more vertical, overall good video........
Thanks the video is what I need. My house was built with partial gutters not sure why.
Mine too. They only had one along the front (for show I guess?) And it's a hipped roof so it needs gutters all the way around. I'm having foundation issues now because of it. I live in louisiana we have torrential rain fall. I may go with 6" because of it.
@9:30 Did you know the drip edge is supposed to drip into the gutter , not behind it?
will the gutter brackets work on hardy board fascia? Can I pre-drill the hardy board and use as normal
No, he did them wrong. Those long screws should have been into the rafter ends.
Thank you so much for the video, can you give the approximate cost for the materials? my house looks similar to yours with missing gutter when bought.
this house shouldn't be more than $150
good job man..thanks for sharing
