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?

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 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.

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!

Just doing a small gutter project and this really helped me complete a DIY project. Great tips and out come.

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.

Thanks for showing us your method. I just moved into place that needs gutters...I've now got a plan.😄

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!

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 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!

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.

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.

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!

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!

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 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. 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.

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.

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.

Great video. Awesome additions with the duck and spider. Kept me interested for sure!

The bee and spider action was cool! The video was very helpful. Thank you.

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.

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.

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

@@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.

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.

You did a good job. Very helpful video.

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.

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!

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.

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.

They come in 5 foot pieces

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.

Very informative. Thank you for making the video.

Great video! The spider and the bee 😆

I'm sure someone has already commented that your "crimp" tool is a notcher for vinyl siding. Nice video and very helpful.

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.

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.

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.

Good video, thank you.

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.

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.

Did you have any problems with ice? I'm watching and you just started putting up the first piece and you have it right up to the shingles, so any ice sliding off the roof is going right into it. The "Ask This Old House" video I watched before this suggests you install it below the slide-line.

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.

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.

Thank you so much for this tutoring video!. Thumbs up!.
