What do customers ask about Gutter Installation?
Common questions and tips from our work with Lansing customers.
How long does gutter installation take on a normal day?
Most single-story homes in Lansing are done in a single day. A typical two-story house with multiple downspouts often runs one to two days, depending on the number of corners, fascia condition, and how much old gutter needs removal. The crew arrives with measured runs, sets the pitch lines, hangs the gutters, then water-tests every section before leaving.
What should I have done before the gutter crew shows up?
Clear anything fragile from along the foundation walls, move vehicles out of the driveway area where ladders and debris will sit, and keep pets indoors. If old gutters are coming off, decide where downspout water should exit, since extensions can route it to a garden bed or a drain line. The crew handles the rest, including fastening and sealing.
Why does gutter slope matter so much?
A gutter needs roughly a quarter inch of fall for every 10 feet of run toward the downspout. Too flat and water sits, adds weight, and overflows in heavy rain. Too steep and it looks off and runs fast past the downspout opening. Standing water also shortens sealant life at the seams. Correct pitch is set before the hangers go on, not fixed afterward.
Can I hang gutters myself or should I hire a contractor?
A handy homeowner can replace a short, straight run on a single-story garage. Full rooflines are different work: long runs need accurate pitch over many feet, hangers must land on solid fascia, and ladder work at second-story height carries real risk. A contractor also spots rotten fascia boards behind old gutters and fixes them before the new system goes up.
Tip
Five-inch or six-inch gutters, which size fits
Most homes use 5-inch K-style gutters, but larger roof planes and steep slopes push more water per square of roofing and drain better into 6-inch profiles with matching downspouts. The deciding factors are roof area, pitch, and how hard Midwest downpours hit the roof. Sizing is checked against the actual roof before any gutter is ordered.
