Installing Your Own Gutters: Pros & Cons

If you’re thinking of installing your own gutters, read one. Most full-service home improvement stores in the Asheville, Hendersonville, Flat Rock area, sell “do it yourself” gutter systems. If you’re comfortable with hand tools, assembling and installing gutters shouldn’t present any great challenge, but the job isn’t for everyone. It requires that you know how to safely work from ladders (good balance and staying within your reach) and are comfortable doing it. Be sure to rent scaffolding for second-floor gutter work because it’s much safer than using a ladder. If you’re not up the challenge, you can always call your WNC gutter installation experts at Gutter Helmet and get high quality, long lasting seamless aluminum gutters installed in no time. A trained technician can be reached at 828.681.5555.

Installing your own gutters can save you some money, but there are a few pitfalls to watch out for.  Be sure to inspect the fascia and soffit for signs of rotted wood, which will need to be replaced before you put up the gutters. Many houses have a trim board or crown molding nailed to the fascia just under the shingles. You’ll have to either remove this or add a continuous strip of wood under it to create a flat plane for the gutters.

You also want to be sure to install downspouts in unobstructed, inconspicuous area where water can be directed away from the house. And to prevent water from running behind your gutters, you’ll want to install metal gutter apron flashing under the shingles and over the back edge of the gutter.

Most homeowners would rather call a trained professional, who knows what to look for and can help you avoid the pitfalls associated with installing your own system. The friendly folks at Gutter Helmet offers  5” and 6” seamless gutters in a wide array of colors as well as 6.5″ round copper gutters.

The Benefits of Gutters

Gutters aren’t just a “nice to have” accessory, a gutter system is an important part of your home’s maintenance. Properly installed gutters play an important role in keeping water out of your basement. Gutters catch water coming off your roof and channel it well away from your home’s foundation so it won’t leak into walls and basements causing water damage or a musty damp smell, or worse yet, mold in your home’s interior and exterior.  Installing long seamless gutters or decorative gutters like copper, is best left to the professionals at Gutter Helmet of WNC. We install seamless aluminum gutters to match your home’s exterior and properly install them so they carry rain water safely away from your home.

K Style Gutters and Gutter Profiles for Asheville Homes

If you’re an Asheville homeowner looking for new gutters, you might be wondering what the difference is between different profiles and style, like the K-style gutter.

Look at your gutters in cross-section. That’s what is called its profile. Easily the most common profile in the U.S. market is the “K-style” (or “ogee”) gutter. When looked at straight on, K-style gutters have an appearance on your roofline that resembles the crown molding on your indoor ceilings.
The popularity of K-style gutters is self-reinforcing. The more K-style gutters dominate, the more gutter installers will buy roll-forming machines which produce K-style gutters. And the more installers have K-style machines, the more homeowners will find that the K-style is the most widely available and least expensive gutter profile available.

Gutter Helmet of WNC installs K-Style 5” and 6” seamless gutters, as well as 6” ½ round copper gutters. Our professional gutter installers have been serving the Western North Carolina and the surrounding Asheville area since 1991.
