in Southern California, and while that's great for a state

that's been battling a severe drought for a number of years,

it's not so great for a house without gutters.

Gutters are an extremely important part of your house,

because they collect and divert rain water

Without gutters, the rain water falls directly down

your talking tens of thousands of dollars to repair.

It can also lead to flooding of your basement,

is a relatively inexpensive way to protect your investment.

I rate these projects by how many f-bombs you're likely

This one is not to f(drilling) difficult,

but it does require a few tools you may need to buy

Step one is to measure the sections of roof you need

to install your gutters on and determine a rough layout.

to have your gutters installed professionally,

you would probably get a seamless gutter.

What that means is, one solid piece of gutter per section,

And so there's not really weak points where water can drip

The big box stores typically sell gutters

in aluminum and vinyl, and several different colors,

So you're either gonna be stuck with prefab sections

of 10 foot lengths, and put your whole thing together,

or you're gonna have to get your gutters made.

Depending on your rough layout, you'll likely need to buy

a combination of a bunch of different pieces including:

endcaps, inside and outside corners, downspout connections,

45 degree elbows, strapping, slip joints,

I recommend just buying more than you need of each thing,

and then returning any unused pieces when you're done.

and you don't have to go through and count each piece.

When laying out your gutters, plan to install a downspout

You can always check local codes as well to make sure

based on the measurements you took previously.

In this case, this section of gutter is just shy of 28 feet,

Now, you can use these slip joint connectors,

where one piece of gutter slides into each end,

but I find it really difficult to make them watertight.

Even after adding a bunch of sealant in here,

and I also find that they become a really weak point

of the gutter because they don't overlap.

What I choose to do instead is to actually just cut back

a few inches on the front lip of the gutter,

in the direction that I need the water to shed.

So the piece that you cut, is always the outside

of the two pieces you're joining together.

make sure to put a nice thick bead of sealant.

which is specifically made for this application,

but you can also use silicone if you choose to.

And then you can use multiple ways to fasten them together.

If you have a rivet gun, this is the perfect time to use it.

Predrill a hole, and then place the rivets in.

I find two screws or rivets on each side,

work well for holding everything together.

I find it gives the gutter a lot more strength this way,

and because it overlaps, you have a watertight seal.

To cut the gutter to length, I use a speed square

And then I like to use a thin, metal, cut off wheel

on my angle grinder to make a nice, clean cut.
