    Really appreciate the critique, a lot of good tips. I am about to put all new gutters on a 2800 sq. ft. ranch style house, so quite a bit perimeter. In the past, I have applied caulk between top edge of gutter and facia, but that could be trying to solve a problem that doesn't actually exist.

    Great videos man. I watched your "How to Hang a gutter with one man" video and it helped me install a 30 foot run today. That video alone helped soo much.

    Good emphasis on screws showing, pitch of run, square feet of roof per down spout, gutter under drip edge, and direction of flow for down spouts, the small details are significant. Thank you!

    Great video! Is it standard practice to put tar or some other sealant between the shingles and the drip edge so there’s a seal that prevents the water from going behind the gutter? Wondering if roofers do that when installing new roofs

    THanks for the great info! I have this problem and it seems to have been after I installed gutter brushes to keep large vegetation from plugging them (still require maintenance) but do you see a problem with using gutter brushes? Could it be interfering with the water flow?

    How much should cut and drop cost? I was quoted $1,800 for a 32' gutter last week and that seems absurd.

  • @builditwell

    I agree: something is wrong here that might be generational: woods are no longer durable and typical low cost modern fascia will NOT withstand the water it will be exposed to if the drip edge doesn't reach into the gutters. Modern materials have no margin for error.

    I can appreciate your professional opinion but this is a DIY project so no such homeowner would have all the fancy machines and tools you use everyday. I would MacGuyver this the same way Tommy did and call it a job done. I called a gutter guy in for some simple repairs but he insisted on replacing my 30 yo gutters, which still functioned fine and in decent shape. Quoted me $3k for the job. I declined and replaced what I needed for about $200 + my time.

    Instead of messing with extra flashing, I took a tube of gutter sealant and ran a small bead at the top of the gutter where it meets the fascia. Seems to have solved it. My shingles are cut even with the drip edge and the drip edge is tight against the fascia, I think that may be the culprit.

    Mexicans rarely leave a overhang which is a common problem that i see. All you need is a tape measure and chalk box or use the first joint on your finger as a guide.

    You said it's okay to put the gutter on top of the metal drip edge? In another you said you put the gutter under the drip edge. Is one option for metal roofing and the other for shingles? Thank you

  • @StartARainGutterBusiness
    @StartARainGutterBusiness26 күн бұрын

    And it's only okay to put your gutter on the drip edge on steep metal roofs. If you have a low pitched metal roof or any type of shingle, we highly recommend putting it under the drip edge

    5:00 the drip edge extension can actually curve backwards towards the house as water will follow any surface that's heading downhill because of surface tension. That also allows you access to the gutter to clear out leaf debris.
